I can't wait for my ..... prize 🤣 Well, you'll see from my avatar that I'm sceptical of anyone who says "Barn find". They're normally some old shite that's been sitting in a yard, with the hope that someday they'll get round to fixing it (I know many of you have similar "projects" in your yards) So let me introduce you to the this 1983 Starion. It clearly has lots of interest, because it's still got 6 days left and has 13 bids https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266298257152 mk2_craig, Stanky and Justwatching 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMinorMk3 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 It's the only one on Ebay so it must be worth thousands. Factor in the Japanese fan boy tax. Must be worth £3,756.73 TheOtherStu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justwatching Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Turbo. Original. Low Owner. Bet it will go for strong money. £5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanky Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 £4220.20 from me. I mean I'd pay £2000 for it to just sit in it on my drive and make 'brummmmm' noises. Witness the fitness. I bet it's rusty as fuck though, and I'd sit in the seat and immediately it'd collapse through the floor MiniMinorMk3, mk2_craig, grogee and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what mk2 rx-7s are going for these days Oh I'm well aware what it is. I'd happily own one. It's the whole "barn find" nonsense. Why can't people say what it is? "I've been storing this in my garage, hoping to get round to restoring it. But I'm a lazy fucker and I prefer going fishing with my pals and it's just rotting away, so I'm hoping someone will pay strong money for the seized engine and rotten floorpan" grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaughant Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Not a bad description and seller seems friendly and helpful in his replies. It's rolling and not siezed but I think truthfully you'd want to hear that running before committing mega ££££ to it. However, I'd say without doubt if you've bothered turn it over by hand to check it's not siezed, and put a battery on it to "test the electrics" then I'm sure you've tried to start it, and failed and now can't be arsed spending weeks with fuel cans/impromptu pumps, tracing out many silly wiring/immobiliser faults and so on. A ULEZ/tax/MOT exempt cool car does appeal to many I'm sure but to have the bollox to go forth with more than £5001 for it I think would be optimistic. If he's playing clever and "miraculously" gets it to start just before auction end with a "smoky turbo from sitting" then my number could be miles out. So I say £5001.01 CaptainBoom and TheOtherStu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Q Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 After much dicking about here is the bid history. The highest actual bid was £2300 but as the £2000 came in after that, I reckon that the bid would have been on £2020 when the seller shithoused the auction? If you're happy with that as a result then looks like it's my turn grogee, vaughant and CaptainBoom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBoom Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I'd say Dave_Q come on down to be honest, I can't see any need for an inquest or stewards enquiry. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I've stuck to auctions, with bids on and finishing within a day or 2 so we hopefully achieve climax.

Jerzy Woking Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 These P100's were popular for booze cruises to the continent. I think everyone of them siezed by Customs was crushed rather than put out to auction like most other siezed vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justwatching Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 These are desirable for some reason, but it's still a shitbox in my eyes, so it gets a low-ball estimate from me: £985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
