If I sold everything I owned, used all my money and chopped in the rest of my postgrad loan I could juuuuuuuuussssst afford to buy and put fuel in this. I haven't done this because I really don't like the wheels and I would have to resort to prostitiution to buy replacements. 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E36-328i-Sport-Touring-Manual-Fern-Green-Huge-Spec-/403422027284?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276&autorefresh=true

I have a cabrio one of these. 

In its defence it made 180k miles but then started hugely playing up with cooling issues ( although in truth the cooling system always seemed to need attention on it). Had a metal waterpump and so on, that had gone once already. 

Had the head done and it drove home OK in the cold on the motorway but the next day I took it out it started again. Plenty of research online certainly suggested this wasn't a one off occurrence. Tried to get another replacement but second hand they all seemed to be suffering the same fate "might be a water pump gone", bollox, it's cooked. 

Gave up in the end and put a complete 325i M50 engine in it, the difference in performance being barely noticeable and in its defence the M50 did seem a much tougher motor, iron blocked. 

Took me years to find out but watching an episode of "the garage" with Jock, he sussed the issue was that as it was all alloy, when it overheated, it expanded the threads in the bottom end and therefore when the head was removed, repaired and so on, putting it back was fine when cold but as soon as it warmed up the threads would go a bit slack and pull the head ever so slightly off the gasket. He increased the thread to M16 from M14 and problem solved. 

I'll guarantee at some point with that engine you'll have a cooling issue or its already had one, it's an awful design of a system and they totally changed it in the later model which seems a lot better. 

Sinking £7k into that? Fuck that. It doesn't even sound that good. 

As for rust though I've never seen any major on mine or the one I broke to get the engine from, I think it's the e46 that rotted?

That would be outside my flat already if it wasn't so far away.

I imagine getting it transported up here from London would double the price. It's a fucking bargain at that price! Somebody GIB!

In my experience, E36s tend to break out in little cosmetic blisters that are generally not too bad to keep on top of.

I've never owned an E46 but I've also heard all the stories about them really rotting quite badly.

Are there any real listing on ebay anymore?  Everything is £1212 and a scam...

Looks alright for £800. It's a diesel auto too.

This needs steel wheels and bASe wheeltrims. 

If they fit over the brakes that the seller must have fitted to cope with the jump in output.

I started doing just that. I knew of the Santana, though not for that long. I saw one out on delivery about five years ago and it confused me. It was parked so I could get a good look but that just confused me more so I had to Google it. 

But googling them again tonight led me to this which is completely new to me. 

I give you the Iveco Massif.

 

That is the model after the Santana Anibal (PS10). both used Ivevo engines and gearboxes. Giugiaro  are associated with this design.

If anyone in The UK wants a Santana Anibal without the hassle of importation then this RHD example may be for you. £9000- 50,000  miles- 2006.

£450 MR2. No v5, rusty sills and brakes locked on. 450 quid though

LOL, that's the advert which started off this whole debate...

This is a handsome bastard of a car.  No v6 but it's still managed to rack up and extensive shit ton of work in the last few years

"Car has recently had the timing belt, balance belt, auxiliary belt and all associated tensioners replaced. Waterpump, thermostat, temp sender, etc all replaced too. Cylinder head was also refurbished & skimmed and the head gasket replaced, along with all other gaskets (exhaust & inlet manifolds) and new genuine Alfa head bolts.

Clutch was replaced 2020 at 84k and the DMF was replaced in 2018 at 76k miles."

It's also had a gearbox.

Needy bastard! I thought our 159 was bad but you'd need George Soros' bank balance to keep on top of this.

Scruffy 900 T16 with test until November seems like a bargain at £1,500. Monmouth.

This is the one that you said is not an Anibal/PS10, just then it was on Facebook rather than Gumtree

Great opportunity for anyone planning a Spain trip in the next few weeks. A rental for a week would be more than the asking price.

That is seriously cheap, tempted to get a flight over to my mothers and pick that up

When I advertised the tatty Avensis I drove here in August 2020 for €650, I must have had 30 calls on an hour.

I think that the "back to England" car bubble has burst. 

Its only 40 minutes from Alicante airport at most.
