Its not really a rare model yet, its slowly turning pink, and it has some dog related stickers which might indicate it smells lovely* inside. But hey, it is a £200 car with MOT till January 2023!

Brightwells auctions currently have 24 ex-police late model BMW's (3, 5 & X series) with seized / holed 3 litre diesel engines on offer. Lets hope the coppers are not buying BMW's anymore eh.

There's a video on each of the cars listings that shows the "holed" engine. It appears to have been purposely done (drilled out). So not a design fault unless they were checking for something else after the engine failed??

Must be related to this. Presumably deliberately holed to prevent the engine being reused and subsequent liability?

No M9, the scuff come from a fair percentage of owners either being giffers. 99p start, Owestry, which sounds suspiciously Welsh. 
Although I failed GCE Geography and I can't be arsed to look it up.

Oswestry is in fact in England but about as close to God's country as you could possibly get. In fact if you drive South to North (the pain, the pain) you go through Oswestry without even turning a corner but you're in England.

Some fat bitch blocked the LPG pump once for about 2 hours (probably 10 minutes) while she bought a carrier bag full of crap in the services by Oswestry when I was delivering a Suzuki SJ too some poor soul.

I was today years old when I realised 'Hillman Avenger' is very nearly an anagram of 'In her lava minge.' You might like to think about that when reaching for your magic sparkly stick.

Just needs one of these and it'll be fine.

Are you on the lookout for a 70's british saloon of any kind, or is it only the Triumph 2000 which has your eye?

Fairly open minded... I think the right thing will speak to me. 

Why do you ask? 🤔

The most Autoshite of sports cars, Ginetta G26.  From what I remember the bonnet bulge means this had a 2 litre Pinto although now it’s got nothing.

Ideal for an electric conversion though, if they weren’t so expensive

Absolutley shite advert with no detail but it's MOT'd until December.

Looks like it had a 12 year rest between 2006 and 2018.

I think the show really went down hill since he started concentrating on Escort convertibles though .
