Those shutlines are the front are... interesting.
Anyone with half a brain wouldn't touch that with the world's longest barge pole. What a pig of a car.
Is the right hand headlight made out of a plastic litre bottle of fizzy drink cut in half???

Bending the subject of the thread a bit here, but did like the honesty at the end of this ad I just came across...

That has been floating about for years!


I hadn’t seen it for ages. I assumed it had been scrapped

Exactly that. When a friend was learning to drive a few years ago, we used to wind her up that we would all chip in and buy it for her

I think we may have a strong contender for the 'greatest arch-to-wheel discrepancy' category.

It'll need spacers wider than the bloody wheels!

Barge poles aren't made in an appropriate size for this. The air pump in the foot well is a nice touch, almost as nice as the paintwork...the headlights are yellowing apparently, but it only 'costs 10 to sort'....all for the bargain price of £1500 with tinworm thrown in for free. It just needs an auto box to finish it off, but Barry has done the next best thing with an Ebay special knob.

I love how it has an MOT to Jan 2021 but what they actually mean is less than 2 months MOT and fingers crossed the extension remains in place else I'm fked!

They are dreaming if they think thats worth 1500 quid!! I paid 700 for one with a fresh MOT and only a tiny spot of rust. This has to be worth 4/500 quid tops

Likewise, I'm picking up a 99 plate on Monday, £700, 12 Months true MOT, hardtop, no rust. I refused to even slightly haggle as it's so clean. There's a couple more realistic NB's on there for £4-500 that are very crusty. Pure delusion on this guy's part.

That’s an awful lot of effort to go to for about two m2 of extra boot space. Weirdly compelling to look at though - deserves a Picasso badge more than any Citroen ever did...
