Seeing a hybrid drivetrain in this is quite a strange sight. I'd be worried about the batteries being end of life, as usual.

Its a strange setup in these, the battery is only a 36v unit that costs around £700 from toyota, people have apprently fitted three smaller  12v batteries in series to achieve the same result. I would be cautious of this.

When I viewed it, it had 35ish volts on it but it was just running. You also have a second cooling system for the inverter or motor. So their is additional complexity to the hybrid, but in typical Toyota fashion people say they are robust providing nobody has tried to jump the car in the incorrect way! 

Apparently the main point of this system was to have a stop start system with the hybrid motor that engages the harmonic balancer. The balancer would have a clutch so when you stop in trafic the clutch would disengage, the motor would spin up. Then you would have full Air conditioning even while the engine was not running in trafic. Unlike typical Toyota hybrids these still have a starter motor though. 

I'm not 100% sure of how it works but that's how I think it works! 

Toyota made a version of this car with the same engine without the mild hybrid, it gets around 15 more horsepower and it's more of a traditional setup. Or you could buy a four cylinder, Either petrol, lpg or diesel.

I think under 2 grand for this SC430 in a good spec could be a genuine bargain for someone.

Assume it includes the private plate as well? If so, insane value.

The 1-owner Volvo powered Safrane is now 750 quid, and I bet you can still get that price down quite a bit further. Has mot and not that many miles either.

Car is in 'very good shape' albeit covered in shit with a missing indicator lens. 
It may be in good nick, but it bombs where first impressions are concerned. Where it's sat doesn't fill me with confidence, either. 

Pity, it may well be alright.

That's why you can probably get it for 500 quid. Problem is that in this condition most couldn't be bothered to even have a look.

Anyway, another car I posted here before, now with highly questionable fresh mot. I think this now rotten E230 originally came from Singapore.

Vauxhall Cresta PB 1964 location Spain. 7000€

https://www.miclasico.com/153-vauxhall/23681-cresta

Quote

Only 3 owners until today. The current owner has owned and operated a workshop for over 30 years. It still has the factory plastic on the interior finishes of the doors.

Advert has three images, but two are almost the same.

Slightly optimistic pricing there - it's a base model and the estates are generally worth less than the saloons.  Interesting seating arrangement though - the DS wagon I had had a bench seat in the middle row and then the fold down seats were in the boot facing sideways.

A handy guide:

assume its on the list already, @egg

thanks yes, ex-retroshite roffle and several other owners in recent years. Seems a bargain to me in any context, one of the half dozen or so road worthy K-reg base models. Maybe someone with more ready cash than me on here could buy and re-roffle?
