Fuck it off, pile of crap

'Engine size 1600cc'

At first glance that thing reminded me of this scene from stripping cars for cash:

I think so, there were a few different types. The later 130s had the 'doppler effect' seats from the Rapid (but still with separate headrests unlike the Rapid which had sporty* built in headrests). Then there was a pinstripe effect and beige.

That looks lovely, if I hadn't just spent a similar amount on the Favorit VRS (as I'm now calling it) I would be very tempted. Does seem a good price these days, though I would be a bit disappointed to end up with a white one when they came in so many fantastic real colours.

thanks. yeah its very true about the colour but does seem a good price, although dragging another un MOTd Non ULEZ car to London won't make me popular at home. would really love one though

The 130 is the one to have. Has the same revised suspension as the Rapid so handles* like a 911 allegedly. And a 5 speed gearbox for relaxed* cruising. It's all relative obviously.

Argh! MY previously-spotted used-to-live-around-the-corner Estelle is now for sale on marketplace!!!

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/435285711748028/

Up for a not unreasonable £2k, but I do wonder what I could have got it for last year if I'd left a note on it, as planned (assuming it's changed hands since then). Also, one owner and 30k! I wish I had some money because it looks great. It's also exactly one year younger than I am.

was it in use when you knew of it @barrett or has it been off road a while?

Have to have a think.

Would be interested to know, if you come up with anything. Of course, it could be a solitary one-off, but if so appears to have been done well.

Off the road for about 8 years I think, but I have never seen it in use in all the time I've lived here - it only appeared once recently, dragged out of the garage when they were having some work done on the house. It's possible the owners haven't lived here for that long, but even when it was 'on the road' I never saw it out, and I think I would have done if it was being used. Here's my pic showing the whole reg if you want to look it up.

iirc this thing is a relatively recent confection by a private owner, not a period conversion. I think the roof is Mk1 Cortina but I could be wrong. The biggest giveaway is the shape of the boot lid and rear window. If that was a '60s job the boot would be much cruder, and certainly wouldn't go down into the rear panel under the boot shut of the saloon (difficult to explain, but if you look at the 'official' estates they use a modified standard bootlid with no extra cutting to the shell) and also it's highly unlikely the rear window glass would be curved if this was a '60s conversion. There was some info floating about the web on this car years ago (I have some pictures saved of it) but I can't seem to find it anymore annoyingly.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone who doesn't or hasn't live in Scotland can figure out the description.

The location map for this however is highly accurate, given the levels of precipitation in the image.

Doesn't look too bad, but the seller states it needs welding and the current engine is junk. He can provide a good engine at extra cost.
