There's me thinking the final price was £1120!

 

Sorry, I have you a bum steer there. I didn’t see what the seller did. Seemingly that Skoda is doomed to an infinite loop of auctions until the seller decides that it has reached enough. ‘I no wot its wurf, mate’, etc.

[Popsicle]

I reckon £2100.

Seems @CaptainBoom 's daughter was closest! Congrats!

Thanks @D.E I think that Vanessa will probably have more miles on her than the Zodiac by now!

Right, we've studied eBay long and hard and there was some real grot on there at present.  I did have to steer her away from selecting a Honda Acty that was just bran flakes held together with wob, and a tidy looking Carlton that must have a stupid reserve on it.  She found this:

A Mazda 626 Estate dontchano.  It looks like it's been the plaything/project of someone who works in a garage and the gaffer has told them to get rid. 
It's been stickered heavily, no MOT, welded, (a bit) a wanky exhaust, needs more welding, but actually looks ok.
Bidding from the seller's mates/work colleagues/Mazda circle jerk club/baker/hairdressers/candle stick maker has been rather brisk, with 20 bids bringing it to £500 with one day to go.

(I must admit I have a soft spot for one of these, after a 'friend' utterly destroyed one of these against a SAAB 99 in Sweden (where else?)  I'll see if I can find the piccies from 2004)

£755 + 50p for the air filter cover being all Nipped Up

£755.50

No MoT: no big bucks then. 

Mrs Grogee thinks £1500. I think that's optimistic but then there's a dealer local to us trying to sell a slightly newer one for four bags. 

It initially looks appealing but the unobtanium parts and humdrum drive would get on your tits after a while I reckon.

Sold for £1,369.00.  @grogee

Hooray! Let's have a desirable 80s hatchback. Bran find.

High tech engine, gleaming metallic paint, rare 'aero roof' option. Mysterious damp rag in the door pocket. 

Currently at £325, but only 5 sleeps until we find a winner.

£532, I like a Maestro but I suspect all things considered I'm being a bit generous at that.

[D.E]

£750 for the car, £3 for the Haynes Bible of Untruths, £753 in total.
