£500 if he’s lucky. Pristine apart from the generally tatty look and the dented back bumper. Also says it’s white apparently. He’ll be keeping that for a long time with fixed price and no offers

Looks like it.

Pristine condition apart from looking a complete fkin wreck.
Not sure what this old Ford thing is about. At the bottom of my yard where we stock a few no hopers we have a mk4 Fiesta 1.6S. It's been there circa three years. No sills, rear arches non existant, holes in the floor ect ie a real old nail, yet I've lost count of the times I've been asked to sell it. It's boxed in with non runners around it and really can't be bothered to dig it out. I'm seeing how long it takes to completely dissolve after it's regular salt water bath... biggrin

It staggers me the number of different cars you have at the bottom of your yard. You’ve a couple of SLK Mercs in there haven’t you?

Have you ever been to Elevenerife?

A whole array of cars, 2 SLK's, a 300Ce, a C200, 2 Astra convertibles, A Civic Se, a Punto, Honda HRV, the Fiesta S and just up until very recently a Jag XJS V12 which was beyond saving but was bought for parts.
Theres no oneupmanship going on here, they're all pretty worthless cars which aren't financially viable to repair.
I can do the custard pics (Birds custard obviously) if you like.. biggrin

Putting aside for a moment the probability that most self respecting MOT testers would probably collapse with laughter if presented with such a heap, why doesn't the seller put it in for a test if it's that easy? A fresh MOT is worth many times its cost in added value and ease of sale.

I hate seeing this phrase in ads. It's up there with the "just needs a regas" excuse for borked air-conditioning, and is solely aimed at the naive.

It's a foiling car. Obviously getting in some practice for the next Vendée Globe.

The bodykit looks like it is made of that black/grey polystyrene that is used in packaging.

Don't care how expensive the wrap was, that is what it looks like to me.

Because a 2018 W12 Conti is about a circa £120k car. Not a £220k one.
