Ebay Tat Volume 2 - Sadly deceased.

[Torsten2001]

I bet no one back in the eighties predicted that in 20 odd years time some loons would take to painting a OAP Volvo in black and giving it alloys and advertising it as DRIFT RWD. Hey Torsten, I reckon youve been bitten by the Yugo bug! What will you do if you have three?

Move them from storage to storage before bunging them in a tractor shed and threaten to scrap them!

Drift Rally RWD... Engine Size: 1,397 cc

I have this in the watch list as its only 15 minutes away but as the price has atracted the dopey wallet brigade i will give it a miss i would have liked to refit an interior and paint the wheels silver as then it would have made a good hack with the added bonus off cheep tax.

Another old RWD Toyota hidden away in the spares section. This one's scruffy as arseholes but still got a couple of months' test, and if it weren't 250 miles away I'd be bidding on it.

GR0.0001 photo skillz, but this could be a bargain for someone - I really like these turbo'd 480s.

This is fantastic! Imagine the body roll as you barrel down a twisty French B-road on the way to market with some chickens in the back...

This is a great business opportunity to Make and sell Hardtops for Citroen DS Convertible owners. You get the Mould and a Unfinished cast that will require trimming, lining and windows put in and catches made.

Remind me again, how may of these did they make, how many are still around and get used (in the rain/winter)? Sounds a really good business opportunity to me. Anyone want to buy some magic beans?

Inspired by that, I'm going to start making bodykits for Bugatti Royales... I'll be RICH... RICH I tell you...

1977 Datsun 120Y

 

I didn't know there still car's about like this, 1 owner from new and only 38000 Miles, What a gem but what about this piss take from the MOT station though...

 

The car has ran out of tax and mot but they did take it to a garage for a test and it failed on the brake fluid being a little low,very slight fray on the seat belt and a sticker in the window(i think the garage may have been trying it on!!)

So they failed it on low brake fluid? (My garage would of topped it up) a slightly frayed seat belt (I wonder if it's really that bad?) and a sticker on the window (Heard it all now!)

[FredTransit]

How is the brake fluid being low a fail? If the brakes work to MOT standard, they pass. If they don't, they fail, it's not up to them why they don't work, or invent stuff either. As it deosn't have a sticker in the middle of the windscreen, I can't see how it's a fail, and I would take a cigarette lighter to the seat belt, to take the fuzz off it....

If the brake fluid container is translucent then the tester can fail the car if the level of fluid is below the minimum mark, if there is a level indicated.the tester cannot remove the top of a cylinder to check levels so solid alloy ones cannot be checked for levels.Any obstruction of the windscreen including stickers, except than official ones ie tax discs, mot reminders and parking permits to name but some, if greater than 40mm will fail the MOT.

[Richard]

The dirty great blue sticker that some MOT testers stick right in the A zone should be an instant fail.

All well and good, but I live in the real world and have real MOTs, and at no point have I ever had the LEVEL of brake fluid mentioned, even as an advisory. As for stickers, I can't see any at all in the ebay pic, and if they are not obscuring the driver's vision I can't see how they would be a fail.

So would one of those 'Gary and Sharon' type stickers across the top of a windscreen be a fail?

[peter9000uk]

I have seen a car fail because of something hanging from the rear view mirror!

[whitevanman]

Yup me too.....mind you I hate even having a bloody mirror in the middle of the windscreen

This looks a absolute minter for it's age, £1200 sounds like a good price as well.

I wonder if the drift crew have ever happened across an early variomatic 343. I'd love to see the results. Probably some snapped drive belts, and lots of cursing because they can't find any diff to weld.

yes but you could go as fast in reverse as you could forward.

[dollywobbler]

I have drifted a Volvo vario, albeit in the wet. Very briefly.

/\/\/\ To add to what Brammy said about Volvo 340s, who'd have thought that these Renaults would be considered donor cars for them?

I used to think like that until I owned one. What a heap of utter wank.

My old man had two of them, an early ('88) 1.2L, which was great, followed by a '90 1.2XL which was a pile of pap, constantly going wrong etc.
