With a V8 it would be a proper hairy chest medallion man's motor.

It's like something a Radio 1 Jock would have run around in during the 1970s.

I think they preferred Carawagons with the 'paedo rapey' factory option pack.

Is anyone bidding on the picnic tables just finishing on ebay? Ther are going to reach well over £500 I think and they need work. A nice period extra but you've got to really want them!

Nope. I suspect they are the ones that were up on EBay a month or so ago that he bought and realised they only work on an LSE

If you look at his pictures he's fitted them to a normal Rangie and the extra fold out flap means they become tit rests.

But obviously you can remove the extra flap, fill the holes and get them to work. They need reveneering anyway but I remember tables in the back of my father's cars and he used to give us a bking if we put them down as they would obviously have chopped our heads off in a crash and messed up the upholstery.

Have you seen the cocktail cabinet that the chap bought for something like £2.5k but looks like he didn't know they only fit the LSE and he's now trying to sell it for £5k. I don't believe it even has the cooling mechanism/aircon feed system. Trevor at Nationwide could probably fabricate one for a few hundred £.

I didn't see them the first time around. They'd fit mine but I'm not that bothered, nice to have but hardly essential and the woodwork needed wouild be costly I imagine. Cocktail cabinets are equally rare but again hardly vital.

ETA, yes they look like the same ones. £800 notes last time from Greece!!

£1020!

I was hoping to buy that cocktail cabinet for about £500...

Can anyone post a link to the original listing?

He's dropped the price by 1500.

Wrong colour for me thank goodness. Mind you I'd not be biting at anything close to that money, even with the reduction.

[bob-lad]

£3,375.00 ? He should be on stage at Jongleurs.

Hmm. Let's not discuss the infamous Saville RR with the bed in the back

Just lost a couple of hours on this thread - great stuff - just found this on eBay - purists look away now but I think this utterly brilliant if massively over priced

Actually a 93 resto look so guessing the plate in a few of the pics is a show plate?

[williamp]

Possibly not. You cant make a car look younger by adding a newer numberplate, but you can make a car look older. A private plate is, essentially saying pre-63. So they have chosen a number plate from 1974 to make it look younger. Nothing illegal in that at all (aftreall, until very recently who would want to make a newer car look old??)

Hmm yes, it never even crossed my mind it could be a private plate

Where's CAPPO gone? Is he driving round in his Classic, or is he slumped in the corner of the garage sobbing?

It makes the recently announced factory restomods look good value (almost)

I don't know how good the Kingsley Car work is - but it is still only 2/3 of the factory price I think...
