Post by: Conker on 08 February 2009, 20:53
Spotted this on the bay, thought it might interest someone as its got no reserve and starts at £1...

If you do, can I have the window seals and the rubber up and over seals.

I just need a few bits of trim from the inside too ;)


Infact, I want it, its only 120 miles away, I'll have it ;)

My mate would want the engine to put in his Cab, I would only want a few interior parts, but only if they were 100% perfect, car could actually turn out to be ok, then my mate would probably want to put it on he road, I'll msg him and try to get a viewing, anyone would be welcome to parts, if it did get broken, Conker and Ben get first dibs...

It's done 168,000 miles.

It's not going to be fresh as a daisy.

Plus it's stood for 6 years - anything rubber is likely to have perished.

£10 says the handbrakes are locked solid on and seized.

It's also under an evergreen tree.  When these shed the needles are particularly acidic, so you may well find where it has a big heap of needles on it it's a lot more rotten under that coating. 

Shame the guy couldn't even be bothered to take half decent photos, or drag it out into the light.

Vaughn, not exactly sure where he is! I messaged him on ebay, and emailed to the address he supplied in the listng, as yet, still no reply, if it goes up too high, then I wont bother, as I only need a handful of parts anyway, I'll see how it goes...

Seller added a footnote to listing, stating that no emails or messages would be replied to, the car is what it is, if you want it just bid!
cant be doing with people like that, what a waste, I probably would have gone to £200   each to their own!

The car must be paid for (pay pal only) before you come to pick it up.

Sketchy??

that means even if you have paid for it when you come to collect it,  it'll still get left there
