Horrors in the PH Classifieds

[AstonV12]

Please post your nominations for some tasteless tat which some folk have the cheek to put on sale here and in other sites.

I'll begin with..

Exhibit A:


This car started out as a 318i saloon - I know, hard to believe isn't it. This dedicated owner has garnished this vehicle with - and I quote - a "full" BMW 3.2 straight-six.

Thirty-thousand pounds has been spent.

This car has the popular but very 1990s "Lexus" lights and the bodykit is shall we say an acquired taste.



The observant among you would have noticed the rather individual but altogether tasteless "3 series" detailing on the insides of the doors. Like we didn't know what it was already. The interior has to be seen to be believed.

Yuo may think that having 30k spent and the 3.2 six garnished within that it may cost you an arm and a leg. But you'd be wrong.

Available for just £7000

Do we have any other nominations?

Doesn't look particularly bad to me. I've certainly seen far worse.

But would you wish to be seen driving it?....Methinks Not

I've never been particularly bothered by image, so if it was cheap for what it was, yes. Wouldn' take much to make it look fairly standard again anyway.

It looks better than anything BMW currently produce anyway.

The car has had 30k spent on it and you think you can revert it to tasteful from tasteless without significant expense?

New bumpers and wheels from a scrap yard would go a long way.

Interior? Or do you like the "3 series" logo

[AstonV12]

Ugh.

You wouldn't believe it was originally up for £30k would you!

That is awful.

[AstonV12]

Ah, the Astra "Belmont" Saloon. Note the high downforce spolier. Devil's in the detail eh? This seller appears to have thought of everything.

Registered as a 1.4, has a 2.0 16v - what's the matter with these people?

This was on E-bay...and amazingly, it didn't sell. Seems there isn't a massive market for Acura Integra BMW Coupe's..

My goodness that front end is hideous.

10 k spent on it...WHY?

TLG - but can you not see he has thought of the possible performance benefits with that rear spolier?

i dont really understand wat some peeps problems are it was hes car so he done wat he wanted to it and now wants to sale it thats all, people like different things because we are all different if you didnt know

I'm not normally one for grammar/spelling policing, but that was disgraceful.

Yes it's "his" car (sure it's not yours?), but it remains hideous in my humble opinion.

"Wayne couldn't afford to buy a proper spoiler for his Saxo; luckily his grandmother had appeared as an extra in the 1960's sitcom 'The Flying Nun' and she had kept some of her costume. Half an hour with some scissors and poster glue and he had transformed the look of his pride and joy."


"She also gave him a cool dashboard trophy to complete the look"
