Another tidy total eclipse of the heart

My friend has been looking for over a year for one of these and only bought this 2 weeks ago, got it home and his wife has gone mad so it has to go

 

Next time you spend a year looking for something you may want to mention to her, who clearly wears your trousers on your behalf what your intentions are Pal.

Aye, "my mate bought this and the wife went mad" is probably the same as "my mate's got some spots on his ballsack and wants some cream" and "my mate's just been caught loitering around the girls' school and was wondering if you know a good lawyer, you know for my mate cos it was him that did it"

For some reason i find things like the Attic Find kiddie pedal car above, extremely sad, its too good, why?

 

Unless someone bought it deliberately to store for a future sale, it should be showing evidence of a childs enjoyment and the dents that would result, why is it so perfect, unless its been refurbed of course.

 

 

Quick aside, a long time ago there was a country type fair in Crick, Northants.

A lovely day and i took my son and daughter, there was a proper geezer taking kids for a trip round the village on his steam traction engine, my little 3 year old girl was straight up there (still a petrol head), the driver plonked her on one of the giant mudguards over the rear wheels, course she got covered in bloody coal dust, so what.

 

There was a little lad a bit older than her, probably about 6 and he looked longingly up, the driver urged him on and i went to chuck him up to the bloke (those heady days before every middle aged bloke was a paedo by default), poor little bugger daren't get on cos he was afraid of getting into trouble if he got mucky, me and the driver tried our best to urge him in the path of laddishness muckiness but he wasn't having a bar of it, so he had to watch in tears as the engine went off in a cloud of sooty smoke.

Once in a lifetime opportunity dashed for a bit of honest bloody muck, what a shame.

I don't think this looks a bad old boat . I've passed if a few times on the motorway and it looked decent at a distance at least.

 

Just up the road from me but not really my cup of tea sadly

Yes, I know, it's not in shite territory, and even with considering that, the current asking price means it should be in the 'bargains' thread, but I do so love it when something like this turns up. Totally unmolested since 1928. Too bad some twat will inevitably 'restore' it by making it shiny and fitting an open body.

I posted one a while back that had 60 years of kiddies enjoyments. Looked the biz. :)

I'm in the process of converting an old one into a barbq. The lad has finished with it and this way it can stay in the family for years to come

That '28 Rolls is a thing of beauty. If I was rolling in readies, I'd buy it just to stop some fool from restoring it. Sadly, I'd imagine that's exactly what it's future holds.

Er, that appears to be the red light of doom on the right hand side there! Has the engine been cooked then? Yellow means your head gasket is about to blow, red means the engine is toast.

It's back and I reckon a good buy for the new seller cos it's appreciated by nearly 50% in less than a week.

 

 

 

Don't you love it when a wannabe dealer tries to make a quick buck and words the advert like he has owned it for years and has garaged it and cherished it

Nope, other way round Trigger.

I swapped my Avenger for it (I was robbed) then swapped it for Torsten's Lada Samara - the snapped the cambelt on that!

I've not seen one of these land in the Autoshite pool yet, although they seem to have all the right credentials.

This particular one seems a tad ambitiously priced though and the styling was a real backwards step from the curvy Lantra.  Hyundai went through a phase of doing that, as with the gopping pop-eyed remake of the original Coupe.

I can't get any eBay pics to load up tonight, either with safari or firefox. Is it just me?
