ALL CARS ON EBAY.

Kathryn,

as always, each to their own - I like the idea of the 'gold leaf' colour scheme, but don't think that the lines of the M100 work well with the split of the colours - not the worst attempt that i've seen to recreate it, but not for me.

(He's hoping for a 100% profit for a few cans of paint and 100 miles driven in 2 years..... a bit like the previous annual mileages under previous ownership )

[Rambo]

It's a "rare colour scheme" alright Now, where's that gold leaf chunder emoticon

[Rambo]

Hang on a minute. I've just re-visited the advert and think I recognise that number plate........






I'm almost 99.99% sure





Isn't that Dico's Blue Beast ???

PS no mention of the Quaife LSD though

[dapinky]

Keep up Mark!

Ooooh, it's a bit of a beast!

[Dico]

Ooooh, it's a bit of a beast!

Aaaah, sorry Dave. I hadn't seen your post. I went straight to the advert and the ....JAH jogged my memory

So, not only has the Blue Beast returned but it's former owner, now a hippy waccy baccy smoking VW campervan owner, too

Well, it's very interesting. It could be an absolute minter - always garaged - with a full service history - in which case it might be on the money or it might be a piece of cack

to justify that price tag i would be expecting something extraordinary. i know someone whos car was valued at 8k by the drivers clus a few years ago and he's car is in amazing condition. i would be very surprised if this car was in better condition than the one im thinking of.

also, for that price tag i would be expecting at least a mention about galvanised rear wishbones, condition of the seals and an immaculate interior.
i love the idea of the value of these going up. but honestly i find it unlikely now that everyone is moving away from petrol.

Jim

Or it could be a munter like Dico's blue silk

[simonbuk]

And according to the MOT its only done 22K miles not 36K as the advert suggests

In a very Roger Moore style - i'm raising one eyebrow........

[muley]

FWIW I am not at all keen on what they've done to Dico's car.

But hey, each to his or her own

Hmmm. I don't like the way the number plate is fixed on. Perhaps it was re-sprayed and they got the tea boy to fit it?

Dicos beast, add some white paint and a gold pin stripe and hey presto, doubles in value. Par made a mistake taking the gold pin stripe of Black Beastie when I sold it, at todays prices that stripe is worth £2-3000 .

I contacted the seller of the blue NA in Torbay with a few questions like cam belt change history , roof seal condition etc and was told bid and I may then answer your questions .
Someone said that there was a list of failed items on the 2017 MOT test .What were they as I can't access it as my IP address is outside the UK.
Have the seats been recovered or are they non original replacements ?

I would stay away from it just by that.
unless its a car for sale as spares or repairs. i would expect questions like that to be answered in the most civil manner. even if its a "dont know" or" cant seee that untill later"
