WTF is that copper pipe next to the ignition?!

I'm thinking maybe the up/down adjustment has come loose so it now rests on the pipe?

Yeah, a temporary "get me home" fix that was so effective it's still there 10 years later.

Not sure if a yellow convertible in midge central counts, but you defo don't see many of these around.

Love that in yellow and I'm sure it'd be great fun once I'd wedged myself in.

I was surprised at how cheap that was when I clicked through the link.

I know it's only a tiny buzzy thing, but given the current Covid pricing madness, and the direction of travel of prices of the S2000 and the CRX Del Sol, I thought this would be £5k.

Curiously cool, though I hate to think how crusty a kai car import in Fife would turn out to be.

Low mileage B5 Passat for just over a grand. Poor photos, but nice colour and a year’s MOT.

That must be the lowest-spec gauge cluster I've ever seen, not even a clock instead of a rev counter.

Have you not seen a 70s Mini? Mine only had a speedo with integral fuel gauge. That's basic.

Some people just don't care, I'd be embarrassed selling a car like that and even more embarrassed if anyone turned up to look at it in that state. 24 year old car or not give it a clean and a valet.

Reckon a Dominos driver will snap that up, they all seem to drive them around my way, although mostly with 1.9 diesel lumps.

Whoah. Tough crowd. The photos are poor, but it’s a low mileage car with only two owners, and no advisories on the last MOT.

The B5 was the peak of the Passat’s evolution, and a VW fan could clean that one up and have a nice example. If it was an early Mondeo it would be twice the price.

I think the issue is that it would cost £20 down the local car wash to spruce it up.

If you can't be arsed to do that (and even pretend you care) then you can't be arsed looking after it properly.

The description says "amazing condition".....

The baby seat looks a bit manky too. God knows what it must smell like.

That has 'sex pest' written all over it. Driving that will see you on a register, and not in a good way.

(And yes, I know it's only a car, but it's a car of complete wrong-ness).
