I think the last post on that thread says it all. Very few people outside the trade want to acquire a non-driveable example of a car of this size and weight even if it's free, mever mind three grand plus to cost of moving it to a workshop and then the commencement of restoration.
"That's the thing, isn't it. Without an MOT and fixed suspension it's a trailer job and *then* the repair cost. Hiring a bloke with a trailer isn't cheap and with collapsed rear suspension you couldn't even put it on a spectacle lift because the rear would scrape - it would have to be the full flatbed deal."
Where's Mike & Edd when you need them? "That's the thing, isn't it. Without an MOT and fixed suspension it's a trailer job and *then* the repair cost.

I hate people carriers. But I'm still a little bit tempted by this one. Sharan VR6 would make a splendid dog-carrier, and retro in a Tony Blair, Millennium Dome kind of way.

I'm sure I read a story in a car magazine back in the day about a rally crew or similar sitting at a constant 135mph for many miles, loaded with spares and people. That was either the Galaxy or Sharan V6. Always had a soft spot for them since reading that.
Might have to head to youtube and see if anyone has added a fruity exhaust

That looks good value to me, remarkable given the prices of retro cars lately.

I think we've had this previously.
Might consider this or similar as a daily.
It has been for sale for a while.
Can anybody here shed any light on this particular car.

My dad would have loved that , he managed to make 2 volvo estates last over 20 years, he PX'd a P reg auto for a B reg manual, about 12 moths later he saw the P reg coming the other way, bloody hell I could have kept that, he hated the manual box.I think I must have been adopted, I barely keep a car 20 months, sometimes 20 weeks

Plenty of welding for its last MOT but they've not done the advisory, oddly:I think we've had this previously.
