It's at Peter Vardy Heritage. They're as bad as Hexagon Classics.

In what universe would a buyer exist for this? I mean I honestly cant fathom it in any circumstance unless its someone so fantastically rich they are doing it for a bet or something.

I've always liked them. But it's not a rare edition one (not especially collectible) and average ones for for around £1k. Don't see anyone buying it. They will probably appreciate though, much like the Cavalier which can be seen selling at a few thousand.

They did a nice limited run of White (and very few red) Super Tourings I recall - they might be worth a few quid.

I can only surmise that it's like seeing a 'limited edition' washing machine that you almost bought back in 1999 and now seeing it in the paper for sale second hand. Only the price isn't £50 for it, it's £300, and you actually laugh out loud.

ste when it's new doesn't translate to desirable when it's used - only in very exceptional circumstances and, unfortunately, a Vauxhall Vectra isn't one of them.

I’ll bet there is a bigger following of these than you’d think. Return the grille to standard and I’ll not lie, I like it. I’d not spend £7.5k on it, but I like it.

Perhaps an age thing? I liked these when they were new.

A £10k Mk2 Mondeo

Unless you were completely mad about Mondeos, not sure I can justify that price, despite the mileage.

I think you'll find it's only done 4,600 miles !!!! So the adverts says. About a 100 times actually !!

I never believe the mileage on these old cars unless some old dear has owned it from new

If you get bored one day, search Autotrader for oldish cars with low mileages. You will be surprised what turns up.

Here’s one

That’s actually quite well priced imo.

Basically getting a new car for £2650. Perfect for a first time driver too.

I guess the lo book will confirm the story with regards owners on cars like that.

It's more the very old stuff and in particular old aircooled Porsches where some unscrupulous dealers have in the past played with the clocks I don't trust .

I got done by one myself . Some supposed Essex ' aircooled specialist' . After digging around it turned out I wasn't alone !

I’d happily buy that based on the immaculate drive. Amazing how a few photos can make you believe how a car was cared for.
