Wow! That could be a bargain! No reserve!

 

I like the ones with those rostyle wheels...they do suit it. Were they a factory option? I've seen a few with them on.

A local one for you Keef

 

Yep.

Hi keef, here's one from my neck of the woods. Always been in the Hull area, probably from Cornelius Parish or some other local dealer:

This was on the bay some while back. :-

He's "selling it for a mate". How many listings are like this? You'd think it was against their policies, but I can't find anything, apart from the location must be clear.

 

So only contact is a mobile phone number. Wonder how much the seller charges for this service?

I sell cars occasionally on Ebay for a mate Keef as not everyone has or can use computers - possibly the same with this advert. I only charge him the Ebay fees but know if I am ever stuck for anything (eg the use of a car or van) he will help out f.o.c.

Nothing wrong in helping a mate out; but the whole idea of Ebay is selling *on-line*; you can't expect buyers to deal by phone when Ebay provides the means to communicate on-line.. I'm sure you don't "cop-out" if a perspective buyer asks a question.

Anyone able to read the registration number on the Six in The Bill please? :-

 

 

PPJ853L is a Morris 2200.

[keef]

There's a "new" one [to me anyway] on http://www.landcrab.net/mainframes/main ... r_sale.htm

 

Looks like the interior is quite good, but it's in Warks.

Looks like it could be PPJ 767L but DVLA website was down, so unable to check.

 

Edit: DVLA site back up again and quite a few changes! :-

Blue 1974 Wolseley Six - GMO174N

[Vin]

I was talking to my mate the other day and he told me that as he's now 36 and been driving minis all his life, he had a thought that it was about time he bought a sensible car.

 

Well he's gone and bought a Wolseley Six. It's currently in his workshop. I haven't seen it yet.

 

All I know is he got it from Notts and it has a Berkshire (RX) number. I'll let you know more when I see it Keef.

Cheers.

 

I don't currently have any RX registrations on my list and don't recall seeing anything for sale from Notts, so should be a new one on me.

[Vin]

Still not seen it yet. But I've been out for a few pints tonight with him.

 

Apparently, it's red with a faded red interior and the fantastic NOstyle wheels . Needs a bit of sill work. It's also 'lop-sided' - he's got a hydrospastic pump, but he reckons it's a knackered sphere.

 

He went to Newark autojumble with a lad who works for him and the lad was interested in an Allagro a stall-holder had advertised. They went with him to Southwell to look at the Aggro but it was shite. While looking at the Aggro my mate clocked the Wolseley Sex in the yard and thought - I'm having that.....

I noticed a decrepit one on a driveway the other day, I'll try and get the reg next time I'm in town although I doubt it's been taxed for a very long time.

Sounds like :-

LOL!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Nah, it's hidden right down the side of their house behind something else. I just caught a glimpse of it while parking.

[keef]

Bit like cort16's spot then. :-

 

 

Anyone heard anymore from him or Angry Dickie?

[Vin]

Here you go Keef!

 

I saw it this morning. It's a lovely old bus that's original and hasn't been messed with. Shouldn't take much recommissioning. Original number plates and tax disc holder too. Tax ran out in 1991.

 

I took a couple of phone pics. I'll get some better camera pics for you when it comes out to be worked on.

 

As you can see, left hand rear is down on the floor.

 

 

[keef]

Here you go Keef!

 

Great find!

 

And it looks as if it's still on DVLA's records which will help.

 

"Date of Liability 01 03 1991"

Spotted at the end of January this year (and last year) at a village near Redmire

 

I think this might be the same vehicle taken a couple of years before! :-

Its already on your spotted list but you might want another pic of it Keith. Taken at the Moffat Rally this year.

[keef]

you might want another pic of it

 

Thanks.

 

It's unusual in that it wears over riders. I wonder if it's had them from new?
