My 64 Breg LC is all original, Inc panels and paint, A frame ect. http://www.lotuscortinainfo.com/?page_id=2179

These cars are so very basic someone has paid way over the odds for that. That particular year would not have had the A frame as it was discontinued 2 years previously, the frame put too much stress on the nose of the diff causing oil leaks. It would have had the std leaf spring set up.
£20k for a Sierra Xr4x4. Nutter. Nicely dented as well.

.. only ever to be driven flat out and ragged to death before being parked up and forgotten till the next series I’ll bet it was dumped round the back until some clown bought it for £500
The highlight of the add .. it was driven by Olly Murs !!!
Sorry , who ?

My misery continues. I had almost the last 2.8i made. Had 15" FoMoCo wheels, same style as the original. Every option and electric windows as well!! Sold it to buy a Sierra Cosworth. Another that's now worth a fortune!! Best not to mention the 1972 Lotus Europa TC I suppose.Thesprucegoose said:

Guess she must have have been practising ‘The Professionals’ parking manoeuvres!!

I don't understand this... Is the seller just completely delusional? That's a £500 car at best.https://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/volvo/s40/321...

Was this not a Mitsubishi Charisma underneath?
I had a 2.0T as a company car. Quite swift in a straight line but my time with it hinted not of future classic status!

Surprising it's allowed on the road though, I seem to remember the Lianas/Chevrolet they used to have being a pre-prod model that wasn't road legal.
Not sure if this ones been on yet but would this really sell for this price?

Don't get me wrong, great cars - and rightly appreciating... but that is daft money for that one.

The exterior is in "excellent" condition despite all the stickers, the interior is "good" condition even though half of it is missing and there is a rollcage in there, the running gear is also good when it has famously had a hammering and to top it off "One of the most popular parts of the 'classic' Top Gear period was the 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car' ". b£13-15K...
