NorthernMonkey Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The V5 turned up this morning so as alluded to elsewhere on the forum, it’s roffle time, guys and gals. I was the lucky* winner of this fine steed a short while back and having enjoyed its Gallic charm (and lowered the average local house prices by several percent due to the unique* paint job), it’s time to move it on to someone more deserving. Not a lot to say about it that hasn’t been said elsewhere tbh...it looks as rough as a badgers arse from anything closer than about 25 foot due to impressive amounts of lacquer peel but it drives well...very well indeed. Mileage is in the region of 63k miles, a figure unlikely to increase daily as the speedo doesn’t work. I’ve had it up on the ramp at work and it’s remarkably clean and original underneath...it needs a nearside front CV boot which I’ll attend to this week and the radio reception is pants due to a broken aerial plug behind the dash...once again, that’ll be sorted so the next lucky winner can enjoy bangin’ choons. Other than that, it’s as it arrived...there are four nearly new tyres, half a tank of unleaded and an A-frame in the boot so it can be attached to your luxury 1980s damp transit based motor home for cross country capers. Currently located in Fence, BB12, the price of tickets for this fine automobile is a ridiculously low £6 each or a once in a lifetime, never to be repeated, multi-buy offer of two for a tenner. Any questions, suggestions or offers of ridiculous swaps for non-runners etc, fire away!

dean36014 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 2 lucky dips please. I've bought so many tickets for this thing every time it's been auctioned, hopefully I'll win it one day NorthernMonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernMonkey Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 List updated. 2 complementaries for Snagglepuss as it’s his fault I was landed with.....err, was lucky enough to win it in the first place. Also, a couple for ohdearme in recognition of collectioneering over and above the call of duty. It’d look nice on the back of his Sharan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpiusMaximus Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Ah! The ex-Robinmasters forum bike AX. I like the door pockets that are shaped almost precisely to hold a bottle of wine. No tickets for me but this is a nice car. robinmasters and NorthernMonkey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 It's now two years since I bought it off eBay for £185(!), It was listed as towing equipment! Brill little car that my other half still hates me for selling. I drove it to from Reading to Colchester and back and it was fine. A little bit slight for modern traffic but who cares. That velour interior is ace. NorthernMonkey and GrumpiusMaximus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernMonkey Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 What's yer buy it noo price?Good question. It’s not taking much space up whilst the roffle fills up but I suppose doing the maths, £275 would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabnut Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 As I now have 3 smoll cars, one of which is a very tidy AX, I have no need, use or wantage for this. One of the above is a lie. 2 randoms please. NorthernMonkey and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernMonkey Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 All updated... Over a third sold already in a little over 4 hours so at this rate, we could be on for a midweek draw, folks. Just think how much better* your life could be waking up to this vision of maroon beauty as you throw back your bedroom curtains each morning. Single? Simply stick this on your POF profile and I can guarantee* you’ll be knee deep in potential suitors by the weekend. In fact, the first thing Claire said to me when she saw it was, and I quote, ‘if you bring that home, you can go and get f***ed’. aldo135, Supernaut, robinmasters and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brill little car that my other half still hates me for selling. I drove it to from Reading to Colchester and back and it was fine. A little bit slight for modern traffic but who cares. That velour interior is ace. And I drove it from Reading to (near enough) Colchester. Used it a few times for my commute down the M11 and A13 during bad weather, and survived. Comfy car with a fantastic heater. No need for such a heater in this bit of Spain, so I'm out. GLWTR. NorthernMonkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
