a few pages back, it is a keeper not a worker as it will only go up if kept nice.

Yea that ^

A battered diesel 406 estate for £300 is a great removal van, that Citreon is a lovely classic

Some interesting stuff on there (I quite like the look of the AX GT and the Renaults) but a Rover 100 for £3000-3500?! Don't get me wrong I have a soft spot for the Metro and it's younger siblings but still.

My friend bought an old BMW E3 for about £300 one year to follow the rallies round in. Went well for an old banger. The one listed is quite low miles

Oh no, apparently it's an ideal candidate to transport smelly dogs around, and take st to the tip in. Or so I read.

That Gordini Turbo is a lovely thing.

Oh dear. Not having had a Jag or Daimler for over 10 years I now want that very badly indeed. A brown XJ6, what's not to like?

This looks like a really nice 230E, only 80k miles. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-230E-Auto-1991-...

Been keeping an eye on that.

The 2.3 is fine in an estate, I had one, but the saloon needs a 6 cyl imo. That looks a very good way to spend £1600 though

That is beautiful. Always wanted one since my mum had a Damlier double six back in the early 70s. Wonder if it would fit in my garage?

That 230e had aircon aswell. A rare option...
Was the 230e much more economic than the 6 cylinder?

Not posting a car but is related....

Said to She Who Must Be Obeyed, "The first you'll know about our lottery win is when you come home and there's a Tesla Model X in the path with a bow on it, for you..."

"Nah, " she said, "it'll be not being able to get down our street for all the cars you've bought for a grand each! But get me a 2CV and you're forgiven!"

Something for the individualists amongst us.

A simply excellent dog / tip run car any PHer would be proud to have on the fleet.

Dog/tip run car confused

I can't figure out if your humour is more advanced than mine, or if you're being serious?
I'd be cruising around in it all day long, window down, fag in the corner of the mouth, shades on. If they don't understand how cool it is there's no point in trying to explain why......

Spotted this 306 Cabrio on Gumtree, only £1,500 and 47,000 miles:

This 306 is very local to me so I asked the Mrs if funds might be made available, denied! smile
