1983 Datsun Stanza 1.6GL

 

STANZA!!!!

[mouseflakes]

Someone give me a grand and a ticket to Birmingham. Please.

 

[wuvvum]

1980 Mitsubishi Colt Auto

 

This looks like a bit of a hunny!

WTF???!!! OK, it looks like a bit of a hunny, but how the hell is this worth £1,020 with no test, when I paid less than a quarter of that for it 18 months ago with almost a year's ticket on it? And more to the point, why didn't it make that much when I sold it a year ago with almost 6 months' ticket on it? I'm obviously going wrong somewhere...

[mouseflakes]

That Espace is lovely, surely you would only want a single ticket to Birmingham though.

Quite right - my excuse was that I was in a rush (my tea was getting cold). I've corrected it now - but that has made your post look a bit odd - for which I apologise.

[Pillock]

I'm obviously going wrong somewhere...

Are you perhaps not bigging them up enough (literally with the huge font)

 

It's not just you, I find whenever I sell anything no-one is interested, but when it comes up for sale again, it is suddenly wonderful and sought after. I assume it is because I am too honest in descriptions and take crap photographs.

Because you haven't got twelve different accounts to shill-bid it into the stratosphere?

 

How many times have you seen something exceed all expectations on t'bay, only for it to be relisted the week after with a much lower BIN?

1973 Vauxhall Viva 1256 Panda Car

 

Yes please!, I think that i would happily cough up the £2350 for this pup!,

 

I have emailed him to warn him about how ebay cancel listings for police cars if there blue lights are still on show though.

1976 Austin Allegro

 

£800 buys you this little bit of BL history.

 

1988 Ford Orion 1600E

 

and £1100 buys you this bit of Blue Oval class...

1972 Ranger Rover V8

 

Maybe Tayne will enlighten me here, This has just sold for £8433, It does look like a nice original one with a good history that i doubt will need a lot of work to recommission but are these really worth that much now in this state?.

 

1989 Renault 21 Ti

 

And on a separate note who ever just won this R21 with a years ticket for £166 is one jammy sod!.

 

Maybe we should have a thread for ebay items that have completed or would that be like rubbing salt into the wound?!.

Please forgive me if any of these are not the correct tat for this topic. I still have much to learn.

Minis probably aren't 'tat' but I'm sure this lot would be good for someone and didn't know where else to mention it.

Maybe, maybe not.

 

It does seem very high, but then it does have the early interior that you can't get replacements for, the headlining is still up, its never been hit with the welding stick and it has a one family history.

 

And if your name is graeme hunt...

Am I the only one who is thinking that this will be used in some sort of tax exempt 1992 Range Rover type conglemoration?

[Richard]

Not at that price surely, you could buy a lot of tax discs for that.

Rover 216 - 22,000 miles. Colourblind blue/green confusion.

 

 

the bodywork has had some paint in the past, the door bottoms show signs of filling,

 

Not worth 750 though - you'd also be conscious of the Keeping Up Appearances thing driving it.

Scruffy 205 dizzla has MoT to sept and is yet to even get a £100 opening bid. Tempting.

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

Cheap-ish tax-exempt SIII, on the doorstep when I am frustratingly skint. Grr! This had a £500 BIN on it, someone wants to risk it for the sake of £25...

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

Ridiculous paintwork aside, not a lot of sheets for this veg-oil Mongdeo.

[dollywobbler]

Don't forget with the Rangie, it's the 40th anniversary, so interest is bound to go up.

 

Mind you, plenty of people started stockpiling Minis thinking prices would go silly last year, and they just didn't.

[warren t claim]

That scruffy Pug dizzler has made it onto my watch list.

Its far too nice for that.

Not too mention the cost of it.

Looks really clean and the last time anyone saw "kit-kat" seats that good was in about 1975 even the 1st car off the line at Gaydon has a pair of really knackered front seats.

Me too!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/triumph-tr7-TR7-s ... 20b13802c8

Are TR7s officially shite/tat then please?

[trigger]

Well they are made by British Leyland aren't they?!

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Good point well made!

[pogweasel]

TR7's are about as 'shite' as you can get!

 

Underpowered, strangely styled and thrown together by bolshy scousers when taking a rare day off from striking with absolutely zero regard for product quality.

 

Get one in brown with a blue door and you've hit sports shite nirvana.

[meggersdog]

My first ever Range Rover was a 1971 J.reg in Sahara beige with those plastic seats.When they are split and cracked they are bloody uncomfortable,must be 3mm thick and very hard.Cars you wished you'd kept,eh.

1982 Datsun Laurel 2.4

 

1982 Toyota Crown Super Saloon 2.8

 

1973 VW Beetle 1303S

 

For some reason this reminds me of these...

 

[CIH]

Laurel looks awesome. Also very very far away...

To be fair, Coventry AND Solihull also got a chance to build TR7s after the Scousers pretty much refused to.

 

Management: "If you don't stop arsing about, we'll close the factory."

So called workers: "Yeah right!"

Management: "We warned you!"

[Station]

Where was it built exactly?

I can't believe I drooled over these as a nipper, I always thought of them as supercars due to the shape!
