Croma? Not seen one in years. This one looks rather well appointed + badermatic.
Slight drawback in that it appears somebody has remodelled somebody else's face into the boot lid.

[edit] just spotted this one a couple of posts up by @D.E - story of my life. I'll leave this one here as I really think somebody should consider buying this :-)

Is it wrong that I actually quite like that?

Ford Sierra 1.8 GLX Estate £1,750 BIN

Quote
MOT failed. Needs welding, Off side inner sill, offside rear next to fuel tank. both front wings lower edge. this welding would NOT be difficult and / or not too expensive.
MOT Advisories all 4 tyres perished, position lamp has an earth fault.  Near side rear brake is binding, but not excessive. 
This car is also leaking, it seems to be the sunroof, so the passenger side footwells front and rear are both very wet.

Nope.
I actually quite like it too - interior looks like a pleasant place to be, low miles and I've never owned a Fiat. But I'm (allegedly) just window shopping for a four door estate with badermatic in case the sprog's FreeLoader fails it's MOT in February :-) 
Plus - she'd absolutely hate the car (When we got her first FreeLoader at auction there was a very, very nice 2010 Bravo that went through beforehand for peanuts - I thought it a lovely thing. She hated it)

Inexplicably £1327.60

He's miss-listed it in the wrong category. It is rather interesting though - methinks @motorpunk could (maybe) use the complete car  for a North American venture rather than seek out an A Series engine - buy this? It's going to be as rare as f*ck in the USA too?

always thought these looked kinda weird but this one looks alright 

AROnline covers them quite well.

One of a gaggle of 1960's cars launched that did not sell in anything like the numbers their manufacturers hoped.

Austin 3litre, Austin 1800, Jaguar Mk10, and  Hillman Imp spring to mind.

Long bonnet as the spare wheel is stored in front of the engine.

Did Brian Blessed alright though?

Quite an advanced and interesting design, the Mark 4 Z cars. The first British Ford with independent rear suspension and absolutely nothing carried over from the previous generations.

Could explain the random price, as I think everything but vehicles for sale the buyer pays the eBay fees, so it was possibly around £1,300 before that.

Would the construction of this be 'car 2dr/chopped to make estate'

or... 🤔

2dr pickup cab/chassis base >> made up as a woody.

What d'y reckon

Morris ital Van, if I was ever to own an ital or Marina, it would be a Van 

The old school garage that I did my apprenticeship  at way back in the late '80s had an ex BT Ital Van as their hack/towtruck. 

We called it the Flying Banana, as they had swapped out the A Series for a 1800cc B series Twin Carb from a crashed MGB GT. It still had the 1300cc diff, so went like the absolute clappers up to about 50mph. 

It was bloody lethal in the wet mind.

The latter I expect, they're a factory car and the similar Minor Traveller was based on the van/pickup chassis I believe.

Doesn't look a standard colour that, but someone might know better.

'I have sold the engine, gearbox and prop'

'It was taken off the road with the intention of fitting wings, arches and steps but...'

...you sold the decent bits off instead, M8?

Sorry but that is wrong.

Van & Pick up had a separate chassis.

Saloon, Traveller and Tourer were all on the saloon floor pan, no separate chassis

This.

Same idea as a MM Traveller, see the seal across the roof behind the doors.
