1981 Ford Escort Ghia on AutoTrader for £750. MOT until May but "exhaust has snapped". Very vague ad. Dodgy or genuine?

If you're anywhere near it at all it's got to be worth a call just to find out... looks like an absolute stunner. Drive round in it for a bit for a couple of months and tidy it up a little then sell for £££££ just before the next FoU.

Without wishing to purloin the thunder of our most fine bard, if you want these fine boots transporting to Cambridgeshire, I can probably get them back to Peterborough whenever the fuck I decide to go back.

1993 Toyota Hiace Super Custom 2.4TD automatic 8 seater MPV with red velour interior. MOT till September ‘23, Just had timing belt done, 120k miles (200k km) and running strong. Needs a bit of paint on some edges and a heater pipe leak fixed, underneath 100% solid. Comes with full set of ultra rare Japanese lace seat covers and genuine bullbar. Selling because I’ve got my eye on a 2 seater sports car and need this awesome van moved on

I've not been this hard since I took a full Viagra tablet and stayed up all night with a raging headache...

Having an Iv*co Cargo to take your car away is like asking Rolf Harris to come and throw your original Van Gogh collection on the bonfire.

a little bit of number plate triangulation later...

(I mean did you really think some number plate obfuscation was going to stop me? :mrgreen: )

not showing but should be showing is AOA168A which was issued after MGB353 was taken off the vehicle, then KAS294 was issued in 2002 as a suitable age related mark to replace the non-age related A suffix mark

First keeper 1983?

First keeper 1983?

as thats when it was first registered with the DVLA, the original date of first registration having gone missing/not entered so the date  of computerisation was put down instead

and keeper counts from buff logbooks never transfer over

it always amuses me when I see someone selling a barn find "1930's Austin 7 only 1 keeper" yeah, no, that probably had about 3  buff logbook continuation books  worth of keepers before it was computerised in the 70's/80's!

 

because of this, older V5's would specifically state that the keeper count only goes back to such and such date for vehicles that where registered before computerisation

image.png

note how it says on this example for "No of Former keepers 4 since April 1977" this is to say that before this date it could of had a million previous keepers!

(and this date is when the vehicle was moved from the Buff logbook scheme onto the DVLC computer and the V5 scheme)

 

sadly modern V5's dont display this information for some reason! I dont know if just some idiot at the DVLA has forgotten about the past, or if the data itself has been dropped

 

imports and the such like would also display the "Since such and such date" as well to say again that from before this date the keeper count is unknown

hopefully this helps clears things up :)

Interesting diesel beast. It's £1700 in Leamington Spa but it's only 33k miles and it's a 2.0 HDi.

I imagine for a one-person mile-eater this would be a reasonable buy*

*I haven't checked the MoT history for rust.

Is there a car that suits Wolfrace slots more than a Scimitar GT/E?

Thought this from the moment I saw my friends dad's one (TUT 60H) that had been abandoned in their large garden in around 1975. That's the sole reason I have never wanted to own one-effectively scrapped at under 6 years old.

I don't hate that even though I hate VW LTs and the MFI kitchen. It hasn't got PAS either.

If it still stinks of horses I'm definitely oot.
