On a similar overpriced tip as @Poweredbyhopealone, here is a 17 year old, 130k Saab 9-5 for £6500. It has Abbott bits on it apparently.

Is this capitalism failing us by creating the market forces which have lead to this, or is this just a greedy bastard?

Answer: Yes.

Are you me?

Probably two of my favourite cars too.

Another person of impeccable taste. Or potentially a dangerous attraction to the number 6.

100 bags and that's all you could do? What a time to be alive 

Who's the Rage'N'Bone man? Some sort of impersonator?

The seller can't mean Rag'N'Bone man. I know for a fact that he drives a dropside Transit.

He can't mean Rag'N'Bone man, as he drives a dropside Transit.

Perhaps it's the inventor of viagra, the Ragin' Bone man?

Can't be him either. He's got a SsangYong Erection.

5 minutes research on this car would tell you it’s not James Hunt’s  one . Barons say as much in their 2016 description, for one thing.

Another old post on an MB forum from the person that painted it silver and swapped the green velour for black leather , after paying £1,800 for it in 2013, for another.

Plus various mentions of Hunt’s one being white. 
 

As for collecting it from Rag and Bone Man’s estate, am I the only one thinking Council rather than Capability Brown ?

"please don't hesitate to contact me."

 

Er...I think I'll hold back just a little bit if you don't mind.

it's not much better than the 300bhp stage 3 thing I had. 2004 04 plate 117k for £1500 on here.

Treason of the highest order right there.

The best aspect of this whole thing is the 200k on the clock too

...the car had excessive service done - all advisories sorted and all discs and pads, rear bearings, fluids, filters etc.

Although the front one appears to be MIA. Also, does this have eyebrows?
