As is customary, I'm tagging Sir @eddyramrod. It's too new, and the opposite end of the country..but....TEAM FAT AND BLIND DELIVERY SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE. (Drive up, eat your biscuits, leer at Huggy, train home.) And it's the slant-six 2.3!! £1500.

This 530i is a bit baggy but it's got a long MOT for 900 quid.  I like how you can tell this is Scotland without even looking at the advert due to the state of "pishin it doon", which can be seen in the background.

'Just had £650 of welding repairs'.

'Welding repairs need painting over'.

Hmmm.  Probably a bit late for that now.

Thank you, but I see you've already spotted the obvious issues!  Never mind eh?

/pedant alert: slant 6 is a Mopar in 2.7 or 3.7 flavours, this is a slant 4. /end pedantry

Barn find is as always utter bullshit. It's been parked half a mile from me for about ten years in a state of disrepair on some chap's driveway.

@dome, make sure you stay off the booze tonight - here's another modern diesel Renault with a floppy clutch pedal going cheap.  Bit of a trek from you mind.

Those Lanchester ads are making me feel much better about ours, not that I was feeling particularly down about it in the first place.

Its okay this one is closer although it's the wipers rather than the clutch that's pumped.

Don't fancy trying to fix the wipers on one of those - they're a separate motor on each wiper controlled by a computer, rather than a traditional linkage.  This can lead to amusing* issues like when the passenger side wiper on mine decided to stop at the top of its sweep for a bit - the driver's side carried on going on its own for a few sweeps until the passenger side rejoined the party.  I don't relish the thought of trying to chase down the cause of a total failure.

I love the period 1970's-1980's pressed metal plates on that

you really dont often see vintage retro-reflective on something that old with a non suffix mark and I love it :) 

(but you just know they will probably be the first thing to get binned off when it gets restored/recommissioned)

Why was that the solution ? What additional requirement, above, must clear water and ice and bird shit off as much as the screen as possible, drove such pointless complexity.

Very nice Victorian  building. Where is that? That will be by well known Victorian  architect I'm  guessing.
