That white Cortina is as funky as hell but you'd need to see a close up of the door bottoms and sills.

Hey! I was just about to post that Victor. Looks nice with those wheels, I reckons.

Bonjour!

The Spitting Image song might advise you to eat it! :lol:

Passed this today - was going back tomorrow to picture it.

i'm the highest bidder of that 2200 TC, the green V8 was tempting me last night but after a chat with my old man it was decided that it looked a bit frilly in the engine bay and a V8 although nice is just too big for what I'm after.

 

That Victor is also on the watch list, The gold Mk2 is tempting me LOTS but the £200 non refundable deposit puts me of, I don't want to turn up and find it's a bag of shit and be £200 down.

Thats perfectly reasonable Trig, if he's a reasonable bloke I bet he's not mega solid on that, and if he is i would walk away. Send him a message saying you'd Paypal him £50 and all your phone numbers etc to show you were serious, if thats not good enough for him he's probably best avoided. He may just be sick of virtual tyre-kicking eBay twats hence the £200 thing.

Frilly in the engine bay? Never known one to rot there. That's not frilly, it's just never been wiped down. It's mainly dust, ffs. Under the rear seat around the suspension mounts tends to be soluble on 'em.

 

Oh, the V8 will probably be at least as good on fuel as a 2200 TC.... quite probably better. My last one was better on fuel than the 850 T5 I had alongside it.

The V8 would surely be a lovely old bus and a great cruiser type car.

Agree with Mr B ref. the deposit on the Cortina by the way. Would also add it seems to make no difference at all saying 'X amount depaoit straight away' as no-one ever bothers complying in my experience.

How about you bell him, ask if you can have a look at it with av iew to buying it and mention you'll bring either a deposit or the full hit in money with you? If he's got anything about him he'll say yes and you could always play the 'take it off eBay, save yourself loads of money' card.

I've fired the Mk2 owner a load of questions and asked if i could just pay the full amount on arrival explaining that I've had a bad experience in the past, depending what he emails back i might go for it, The Cortina is one of the cars i ideally wanted even before i bought the 1602.

 

The green P6 Pete looked as if it had a big splater of weld on the inner wing on the near side, once those P6's get the worm they can be expensive to repair, when i test drove that white V8 last year i loved it but it was like driving a heavy boat, plus it's a auto, i'd sooner have a manual.

 

I'll see what happens with this Cortina.

i usually make contact straight after the auction ends and ask when i can pick up, give them my phone number and ask if they want some cash now or all on collection, 99% of sellers are happy that you have made contact and prefer all the cash in one lump. The deposit thing is just to weed out the loons who bid with no intention of paying.

Aaargh! That R5 is too tempting. Hopefully* the good write-up will attract bids and I will quickly be priced out.

Tidy, early Supercinq with decent advert in Worksop:

I went and had a look at this last night, needs a bit of paint here and there but I think I'm going to take a punt at it. Watch this space.

That 5 is exactly the same as the one my mate Alex had about 10 years back. It came to a sticky end on the day he moved out of home into his first flat. He managed to ram it hard into the back of his Mum's Almera in Brentwood High Street, writing both of them off. She was only there as she was helping him move his stuff into his flat.

 

When the police turned up he told them he hadn't noticed his Mum's car stop as he was eyeing up some girls at the bus stop. :roll:

Mr_B don't ever venture onto a Vectra forum EVAR. Tat's quite a reasoned Vectra owner reply.

Sounds like the guy who bought my Mk4 Escort recently, gets the train to mine from Plymouth, gives me £600 for it, drives all the way back then flogs it on ebay 2 weeks later for £100 less then he paid for it.

 

There's nowt as queer as folk.

^ Go for it Trig - you need Nicolette McKenzie in your life, if only to scare shit out of you by saying "LEFT REAR DOOR OPEN"

Rover- City Rover Shite - Red - 48500 miles 04 Reg

 

These are temptingly cheap :shock:

 

I just found out it is £190 a year to tax a CityRover. And they do about 35mpg too. No wonder they're so cheap to buy. Still, £443 for a relatively low-mileage 04-plate car in reasonable nick is cheap enough to compensate for the relatively expensive tax disc & fuel bills I reckon.

Wait until you encounter a group of them at a show somewhere. My sides were aching for days after the last one. Most of them appeared to be playing pocket snooker over some fucking hideous Vectra B with a stupid bodykit, wanly 'boot build' and best of tribal graphics with matching seat covers. It looked like sort of car a 72 year old paedo would park up outside a primary school in Rhyl in.
