I remember at my work place back in about 97 one of my colleagues got a £20k or so bonus and bought an Impreza Sport. Proper sheep in wolf's clothing. The looks of the turbo with woeful performance.

he could have got a classic Turbo 2000 with £20k back then unless he was using some of the bonus to spend on other things. think they were actually £19,995! the insurance have also been a factor.

£10k tops!

Brake discs, calipers, dirty interior, messy rusty engine bay and last of all..'wicked innit' floor mats.
£4k tops

This has been up for sale for around 3 months now, had to take a sneaky pic while walking the dog today.

Think they've put an extra digit by accident....

It’s done just 15k miles. Not saying it’s worth what they’re asking though.

I'm hoping this is a typo but something tells me it isn't. £13K for a fking battered Vauxhall Carlton

"The car was restored 9 years ago by the late Richard Mills of RM Classics and has been maintained since to a very high standard"

Aye, righto mate...

Engine is pretty impressive tbf. Still looks like the kinda thing you'd see for £600 taxed & tested in an Autotrader mag from 11 years ago though

Nice

Surprised that wasn’t an Irish seller though

Manual box too

When the Irish guys that bought my Manta ( and the AE86 down the road from me ) in 93 arrived, they were driving one of these
Not with an engine like that though!

Exactly. Seller suffering from that disease that thinks the recent inflated prices applies to any old rubbish. Ripoffitis.

I'd say more £3-4k, but either way, bonkers.
