Ebay Tat Volume 2 - Sadly deceased.

^You could always just park it under an electricity pylon with the turbine up, and harvest some free 'leccy...

 

Pension run special. Or buy it, and ship Eddy the alloys.

 

Covin Porker rep. I thought the standard width body worked OK with a Beetle engine in it - you could dress it up as a 912 (ish). But I dread to think what the finished article would drive like with the proposed 18's on it. Scooby transplant time methinks.

 

S70 on 89k, with 5 months test. Just needs tax to go. £450 - bargainous barge.

I reckon if that milk float got going fast enough the turbine would generate more electric than the motor needed and it would go faster and faster until it reached 88mph and disappear in a massive flash.

We've got to go back Marty, back for the gold tops!"

 

Ah, there's my coat...

Yes please! Now that would be a nice Christmas present!

UP. YOUR'S. PRIOUS. OWNERS.

Even though it looks like the engine's done on this it still looks okay for 350 quid.

if it wasn't in flipping Glasgow I'd probably have it for spares / experimentation

This is the excuse given to me by our milkman every week when he forgets to drop off our longley farm yoghurts.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

What a lying motherfucker, I bet he's 'dropping his yogurts' at no.38 without fail, that woman along there's got no shame! Etc.

[eddyramrod]

Ernie got his cocoa there, three times every week!

it has fiesta spoiler on he rear with a mondeo overlap spoiler on top , the other spoiler is demountable and made from alloy but does keep the front end up when at speed

[lancashireclamper]

The brains behind that milk float type tribute to Windy Miller must be living proof that care in the community had its drawbacks

[CreepingJesus]

I wouldn't normally post more than one pic, but I think this heap deserves to be seen in its' full majesty...

 

Shitey Xsara with taped wing mirror.

 

Given that the former keeper felt the need to advertise a local AM radio station not once but twice, I'm only surprised the boot dent isn't pushed out, from where their hog-tied victim tried to nut their way out.

 

And the crowning glory. How much silicone will it take to hold a stereo in the dashboard? Lets ask this inventive Shitroen owner...

 

Yours for only £395. The bodybag folded up under the spare wheel is optional.

[cort16]

Christ how fugly is this thing? Oddly it's been converted to right hand drive and is packing a fwd v8. I would.

From the Taunus advert:

'want a serious buyer who appreciates quality.'

 

That's him fucked then.

[Felly Magic]

That Taurus looks a load of old bull to me

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Why does it look like a Kia to me?

[Felly Magic]

The front does look very Magentis like..Same designer/CAD prog perhaps? And Kia have been a sweatshop for Ford for decades.

[dollywobbler]

I have been VERY tempted by this. Zero bodyroll, super-complex already-complex suspension and French electrics. What could possibly go wrong?

Anyone want a Peugeot 309?!

[Cavcraft]

Ooh Activa! Don't they have fancier (than normal Citroen) suspension?

[dollywobbler]

Ooh Activa! Don't they have fancier (than normal Citroen) suspension?

 

Indeed so. Cancels out the bodyroll. Also an absolute pain in the arse if it goes wrong, though not as unreliable as most people think. 2-litre turbo too. I'm amazed by how much I want it.

This looks fab, and yet again it's the other end of the country.

A few of us don't live too far away Trig.

 

Incidentally the Triumph geezer got back to me and I arranged to view it yesterday morning. Then he called and said the bloke who'd made the offer via eBay was supposed to be coming for it so I left it as he seemed to think the bloke was going to buy it and said he'd let me if he didn't.

fuggin hell - can't go wrong with that one Ian, even if the suspension lunches itself you will still get 200 quid scrap.

 

only boring bit is the tax is out tomorrow.

 

go on you know you want to - a license loser and it frees up the 309 to be sold with an amusing advert...just think of how fast and comfy it is AND...afterall you are a motoring hack which means you HAVE to ...are indeed OBLIGED to collect such cars to give you material for your articles - you should look upon this as an INVESTMENT really

 

go on...you know you want to.....

 

buy it!

Thanks for that, I'm surprised it lasted that long before it sold if I'm honest, That Magnum on the other hand is a hunny, £100 for the train up there though!

[scooters]

 

In Tiverton, but OM NOM NOM NOM.

 

 

corblimey I've just jizzed all over my keyboard again - how much do I lust over THAT baby - could not wait to park it next to the BX - dented wing and all!!!

 

the poor man's Ami indeed and check out the INTERIER!!!

There's an episode of Postman Pat where Ted Glen tries something similar with Pat's post van.

Trigger's Professionals thread has me feeling the love for Capris. 45 minutes to go on this fine grotbucket with MOT until August, £900 at the moment:

most of the photos don't show the usual capri grotspots, apart from the lovely rot on the scuttle and a bit of the headlamp surrounds, rear quarters and front valance look shagged too

 

wonder what the other side looks like?

 

900 seems a little steep for a green 1600 mk3, IMO
