Ebay Tat Volume 2 - Sadly deceased.

[Angrydicky]

Hey Mash, do you know of any old Hull cars with TAT registrations?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I love these fastback MK1 800's, such a clean design. This one looks very decent for a £400 start.

These single point Rover 800s need their engine management reset every time you disconnect the battery, neat eh? They almost deserved to go bankrupt for that alone IMO.

[worldofceri]

Oh and please, please...get rid of those plates.

 

 

Wot's wrong with the plates? I think they look good, and legal on a 1970 model, shirley?

[Guest Leonard Hatred]

They might be legal, but they don't look right.

[KruJoe]

BX14 @ 99p no reserve. Looks to be a good un, too.

That's what I was getting at. Personally I think anything after F reg (1968) on black and silver plates looks RONG.

Look at this gem, You don't see many 1800 Estates any more let alone Saloons.

Hmmm....Cars were supplied quite a time after 1968 from new with black and white plates and I'm quite happy for anything built before 1/1/73 to have black and whites...Looks right to me.....My 1960 Landy had those raised white digits on black though I agree that something as late as 1970 might look more authentic with pressed silver on black.

+1. My Volvo 164 is a 1972/L and that has silver on black plates - they're staying as they suit the car. And when I finally get round to getting the Renner Six an age-related plate and the proper early rear lights, that will be getting them too. There are a few cars that I think look odd on black plates though - Granadas, Mk3 Cortinas, Ro80s, Citroën GSs - early ones of these are technically old enough to use black plates but I always think of them more as '70s designs and expect to see them on yellow / white plates (preferably with raised lettering).

[KruJoe]

I'm not normally one to bump up my post count with a '+1' to simply agree with the previous poster, but that 216 really is very nice.

(Edit, sorry Wuvz - wasn't having a dig! You posted while I was typing!)

[wuvvum]

Here's a Granada with VM powah. GR2 photography and it needs a few bits doing for a test, but it's cheap enough. It's in Crewe - GR8 4 Bo11ox?

 

[KruJoe]

It does look honest enough for £250, that.

 

A reminder that this still has no bids, ends today... could be yours for 950.

I never knew they made fibreglass wings for Renner Sixteens. You learn something every day...

[garethj]

From back when VWs were reliable is this fantastic Golf 4+E That's a 5 speed gearbox, but 5th gear is so high you've got to be plunging downhill doing at least 90 before it's useable. Older ones had an economy gauge on the dash with a little pointer for instantaneous mpg, and a light that tells you when to change up a gear.

 

 

My old Passat with the 1800 carb engine would give at least 40mpg even when driven like a twat, I reckon this should be a touch better.

[garethj]

Perhaps not Autoshite, but I love these anyway. Park it up in Halfords, go in and ask the spotty oik if they've got an airfilter for a Lycoming V8

This was my nextdoor neighbour's car until very recently.The dents to the front panel were caused by him running into another car,he's in his seventies now,had to have a new headlight aswell.The sills were fitted at a bodyshop for 300 quid the pair.When he first got the car it was leaking oil from the corner of the head gasket so that was replaced.All in all the advert is fairly accurate and my neighbour sold it for 250 not to replace it with a Rover 825 but a smaller car.He's got a D.reg Mitsubishi Colt which is also one previous owner and low mileage.

[M'coli]

^^^^

It has Stomils!!! Well, at least one - the other side looks like a remould.

£700 for a tidy Mk2 Xr2 seems like good value to me. I might lay it down like a case of fine wine so my son can use it as a deposit for a house in 2025.

[wuvvum]

Mk2 Granada saloon on a D plate? Gotta be a rarity, surely?

 

 

And if that's too posh for you, how about a nice povvo-spec example?

 

[Pete-M]

Mk2 Granada saloon on a D plate? Gotta be a rarity, surely?

 

Arrgh. So close to being the right spec it's unreal, but it's not injection and some fucktard has removed the AC and the TRX alloys, so that's me out. Otherwise I'd be up there waving money at him.

 

Local plate to me as well. Probably supplied by J.Blake & Co. Probably nigh-on impossible to sell new with being the lame duck carb version.

What Granada are you after exactly Pete, my mate has a mint 2.8 Ghia X (not sure in year but it's defo a face lift MK2) has air con (working) computer not sure on interior but i think it was cloth. In light gold metallic. Last time he spoke he did say he might let it go (based Hull area)

i suspect foul play in the bidding

I love this garage find Rekord!, It looks like it's driven straight out of a 1970's TV program, According to the DVLA it's not been taxed since 1992.

[Angrydicky]

That is very close to me. Interesting little project. Not sure why it has a Q plate, I wonder whether you could apply for an age related registration on it.

 

Never ceases to amaze me the amount of old tat that is stashed away around here.

[Richard]

That Astra needs another, final, trip to the breakers.

Why would you want the TRX alloys???????
