loserone Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Hasn't he already got one? It sounds like an excellent forum bike to me.
omegod Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 Where's BOLLOX when you need him? This must be right up his street. Aye he has a lovely LHD one
nigel bickle Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I’ve a couple of these. (12 & 1500’s).Excellent little tools. Sadly both out of use right now - only cos i’ve No need. Recommend them D Spares & Tyres and Burnside 2
Mally Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I'd love to help, and could possibly clean and polish it with some notice as it's not a million miles away, but could never afford to outright buy it. We could crowdfund it, all do bits of work as needed then either one big roffle for forum funds or similar and it goes to someone who does want it as a daily , or get it to ruffgeezer car sales with a white background and again, a decent cause or forum funds for a few months and play the old car ebay game. I have no use for it whatsoever, but I'd chuck £50 in if it helps anyone that does. Tamworthbay and loserone 2
tapir Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 fantastic - love the "system porsche" on the rocker cover + spare under the bonnet!hope someone on here gets it Christine 1
Alanism Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Thanks omegod.. Looks like I have something on my to-do list sometime this month. I do love an auction, especially auctions with interesting and fun cars in. Tamworthbay 1
Jim Bergerac Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I have no use for it whatsoever, but I'd chuck £50 in if it helps anyone that does.I'd chuck something in too even though I also have no use for it beyond wanting it saved, but any such scheme needs someone to take charge and somewhere to keep the car whilst it moves on to the next step (roffle? Autoshite bike?). Mally 1
dollywobbler Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Hey, my wife isn't here to stop me doing anything stupid! Who's going to bid on it for me then? cms206, Mr Bump, mrbenn and 14 others 17
sierraman Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Hey, my wife isn't here to stop me doing anything stupid! Who's going to bid on it for me then?Some people on the break up of a relationship go and buy a motorbike and get one of those cack number plates going ‘left the wife... got a life’ Others buy a Seat Ibiza with some broken and possibly impossible to find headlamp clusters to restore. Get it bought! Angrydicky, LightBulbFun and chodweaver 3
beko1987 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 You've got until July to fix that /expertly craft a repair with lens tape...

shedenvy Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Don't want to piss on anyone's chips but Copart are a bunch of twats.Our Seat Altea is due to go to auction at 12pm today.Nowhere on the additional information does it say about the failing CV joint or possible HGF. Normal wear & tear to them means very bloody panel has a dent or scrape.Though this Ibiza is a little special it's probably arrived at the photo location via the forklift tines ensuring all the brake lines are flattened, fuel lines cracked and some lovely crusty holes have appeared in the floor pan.https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/29119309 nigel bickle 1
dollywobbler Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I'm still willing to punt a bit of money at it, if someone else is willing to bid. I'm out on a community bus run tomorrow, so won't be able to keep an eye on the auction. Burnside 1
Wingz123 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 OMG i have been looking for an Ibiza in this shape for literally ever after my dad had the 1.5 glxi porsche developed engined one and it is literally just down the road from me!!!!!!!!!! J134 RJM was my dads reg....how unbelievably close is that to this!!!! I have a copart account and know the system inside out back to front... Is anyone else here having a go on it? I am utterly shell shocked i need to sit down - I cannot believe this has appeared quite frankly nor how similar it is to the one that was our family car when I was a boy... fairkens, dome, beko1987 and 9 others 12
Wingz123 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Im in awe - just mentioned this to my dad and he nearly fell over. Porsche developed 1.5 was what we had with that wheel under the bonnet. Boot never shut properly (wouldn’t lock in place) and flew up passing a curtain sider as we were making our way back grom Dover having been across to France..... lost a load of paperwork somewhere on the M25.... Kringle, cobblers, Amishtat and 1 other 4
bramz7 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I think you need to bid on it to be honest! Kringle and LightBulbFun 2
Kringle Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 By the level of sheer enthusiasm is Wingz the designated bidder for this? loserone 1
Mally Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 In my eyes you are in pole position. You have the want, and all the tools to complete the buy and the collection.Others who fancy it may be reliant on help from others, to achieve a buy and for transportation. Kringle 1
Wingz123 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I had only just seen this thread today (well approx 45 mins ago) and i honestly can’t quite believe it but if someone else was planning on bidding I don’t want be seen to have barged in and scuppered others plans if that was indeed the case...
Mally Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 It's an Auction, just do it.You could leave it for someone else and they, or their bidder fail to bid.You could also win, and it's a pile of crap.
dollywobbler Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I can't say I really have a plan as much, just wanted to see it saved. By all means jump in.
meggersdog Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 This talk of mot until july might not be the case.I've had customers whose car was cat n and the insurance company has insisted on a fresh mot before the car is allowed back on the road.This was where they kept the salvage so it might be different buying from a salvage yard.There won't be mot docs so you will definitely need a duplicate. edit: not definitely as it's all online.
beko1987 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Go for it wingz! As said, we just want to see it saved tbh! Doesn't matter by whom. I'll show everyone at work the collection thread LightBulbFun 1
Datsuncog Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Current bid still showing as £100 with under 20 hours left to go. Looks like there's everything to play for. Would be excellent if this Iberian rarity could be saved and brought into the fold, especially if there's a nostalgia angle for some... Watching with (increasing) interest. Burnside 1

I am utterly shell shocked i need to sit down - I cannot believe this has appeared quite frankly nor how similar it is to the one that was our family car when I was a boy... Wahey made up there's a serious contender and the AS spooky fate strikes again, I reckon the current bid may be a local scrap dealer trying to hoover up the cheap crap for the fragger, really hope you get it Wingz Christine, Burnside, Wingz123 and 1 other 4
beko1987 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Today is the day! Assuming it doesn't need re mot-ing it's got test until after shitefest too! Still game for it Wingz?
Kiltox Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 This talk of mot until july might not be the case.I've had customers whose car was cat n and the insurance company has insisted on a fresh mot before the car is allowed back on the road.This was where they kept the salvage so it might be different buying from a salvage yard.There won't be mot docs so you will definitely need a duplicate. edit: not definitely as it's all online.My van is Cat C (would be S now) - I insured and drove it without repairing it before it’d even had its first MOT.
Datsuncog Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Just under two hours til the end of the auction now... still on £100 bid. Here's hoping Wingz123 is waiting in the, ahem, wings with a sniper bid ready to go.
omegod Posted March 14, 2019 Author Posted March 14, 2019 R.e the mot, shouldn’t be an issue as my Copart focus was still valid after cat n, incidentally it passed without any advisories this very morning. Good luck Wingz and I hope you steal it for 125 ???? 12:00 is the suction start time and it will go through anytime up to 3:30 ish
