£350 for that? Makes me feel even better about my current novelty eBay purchase for £377. And it's a manual.

Does that say "bodies" on the trunk?

"Rear hatch" or "Boot lid" please.

Did not expect to see that when I opened the thread.

Apologies, i do try to speak/type the proper Queens English, but as a dutchman i do make a mistake from time to time.

If it doesn't run take the batteries and motor out, strap a big CO2 fire extinguisher to each side with some mechanism for controlling the gas release and find a straight bit of road, ugliest 'rocket' car ever built.

Tonight, instead of ebaying semi-drunk, I'm going to try ebaying with a semi.

As I mentioned earlier, that would be a mistake.

That is a bargain... much MOT/etc?

MOT until May. Some service history (probably, didn't look), came with a free Nokia 6310 and car dock

Little thread on it here:

It most certainly does.

Fair enough, you would need another 19 of them anyway.


Take the motor and drive electronics out and build one of these?

Have you got it yet

[AdeTuono]

Three things I've bought from eBay when pissed.....

A huuuge moose head, which Mrs. Tuono won't have in the house.



A stupidly large drum kit, and I don't play drums.



An ocean-liner-sized Cadillac.



I don't drink so much these days, but when I do, I'm under strict supervision when I get home from the pub
