Yes, it's a crap picture, but I reckoned this was a steal at £600. It's now £500!! I came very close to buying this, imagining it's tight handling, sharp styling and wonderful-sounding engine. Then accidentally bought a Land Rover instead.

 

Tried getting an insurance quote on it and couldnt do better than £1200. Ouch..

Well I am! I'm sure they are a total botch, and I'm sure they look crappier than the crappest thing at a crap festival. But, it's his car, etc... (wish I'd never said that now, :lol: )

Bo11ox and HereHareHere are spoiling us with foreign shite, here's a Czech site that can take care of all your obscure tat needs.

I had a T603 and it was so good I kept it for years, normally cars get punted on after 18 months max. Learn to love your welder with this fine example

C16452766_2.jpg

 

The later T613 has a 3.5 aircooled V8 semi-mid mounted. Mine was a late one with stiffer springs, lowered a bit and power steering but the earlier ones are often better built. This one's proper Autoshite spec with its 2 twin carbs and plastic trim, but it'll tackle rough roads faster than anything you've ever seen

Or how about this bad boy? The drug dealers with their black BMWs think they're tough, wait till you roll up in this with 2 gorillas carrying Kalashnikovs 8)

That Tatra is on £750 at the moment. Which is fugging cheap, even in that condition. That's probably the most Autoshite spec of all the 613s, although I'd kill for an early chrome-bumper car or a late T700.

I would drive that Manta just as it is. I guess it would be the early 90's council estate supercar look

Seem to recall having a bit of a LOL at this once or twice before:

Check the engine bay!!! I can not begin to explain what was going through the mind of whoever did this.

Got quite excited when I saw this! Advertised as one owner from new , just 91000 miles.

Then I HPI'd it.......actually 5 owners and a CAT B write off.

 

CATEGORY B STATES: a vehicle from which spare parts may be salvaged, but the bodyshell should have been crushed and the car should never return to the road.

 

Errr....I'll give it a miss, then......

^ Nice of the owner to tell the truth on that then, some poor sod will get a shock when they buy that.

 

I've not seen that R5 before Dicky unless it's the one i saw in Manningtree last year but i'm sure that was a Y plate, could be it though, its very tasty never the less.

Despite being photographed by Galicia's stupidest man, this is the best 505 I've seen in simply an age, darling. Diesel, longish test, €800.

€800 looks VALU for this with a decent test. I'm honking the big purple horn for these Spanish Renault vans with their long side windows. Several dozen of the R5 derivatives on this site for less than the price of a cup of tea (plus 40000% service charge).

Ha-ha, ha. Ha! Can't beat the poor execution of a truly terrible idea. He's even put one of those Osborne brandy bulls on the back.

Hmm - just a bit too Pure Brilliant White. €850.

This €999 Supermirafiori diesel comes with a literal shed-load of spares, including an engine, box and loads of doors and stuff. BUT IS IT ACTUALLY ANY GOOD? Phurther photo phrustration.

€1,000 seems more than a little ambitious for this tremendously shit sawn-off Trabant.

WTF with that CatB? It still appears on dvla website as taxdue 12/10. When was the date recorded of the cat B?

Reference the CatB, Ive just HPIed it at work and yes, it is a Cat B- recorded back in 2003! However the car would not appear on the DVLA site as existing if this was the case. The car could not be MOTed and could not be taxed/sorned. Also there was a keeper change registered in 2008 something the DVLA couldnt do with a CATB - so this must be an error. I had a similar error on a Landrover that was a total pain to unravel but that Crown looks like its worth looking at. I bet it was the insurance companies fault recording against the wrong car

 

Perhaps check the chassis number - MS11200501846, and engine no 5m3031704 and chat to the owner.
