Bargain either way!
The £1560 is because the seller says he'll knock the £300 off the final bid for the compressor issue, I think?

Correct. I think that hurt the final bid value tbh

Feels about 100% too expensive to me.

Edit - 50%. I don't expect it to be free.

Re the P6000s. As a yoof my first proper car was a 205GTi. Deferring to the fountain of car knowledge when new boots were required - aka Dad - said P6000’s were added to a car famed for its ability to meet hedges backwards. They had been great on his Rover 800s.

After some hairy moments the nail in their coffin came when the drivers door and my head met the back of a Seat Ibiza at about 20mph! All because I’d dared to brake whilst turning slightly left on a damp road.

Happy times!

I know the chavved 645i at Anglia would be a bad idea but I can’t stop going back to it…… undo some of the rubbish tints and M tat and think it could look OK?! I’ll get my coat……

This less practical S8 (but a lot smarter) is 100% on top. Tasty though. An early Friday present:

They're a bit leaky, but the chavved 650i should be better: https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic-auctions/2...

I reckon that's an afternoon's work away from being nice - replace the wheels, rear lights, pull the tints and "M" ste off it, flog that stupid splitter on facebook for 50 sheets, bingo.

Not been to ACA since I moved from Norwich but just been through the list looking at Morris Minors for Mrs-C and was distracted by the Merc funeral car which is definitely a Barge ...

Oh my. Why haven't I ever heard about these auctions before?!

I've just had a look through the lots coming on April 1st and 2nd. My wallet has just run off and hid somewhere! So many possibilities.

Sedate but smooth and useful with the undeniable aural pleasure of being able to rev out that straight six without worrying your license too much.

So much velour!

I'm not going to try and justify this choice to anyone, I would just really like to own another Cortina.

Just picked up a jaguar XJ8 X350 for £1,560. Bad suspension compressor but I have rebuilt these pumps a few times now! This will be my 3rd bought unseen so let's hope it's not a dog.
Cheap as chips that!
Presumably the 1560 figure is the one the wife gets, not the one on screen?!

Bargain either way!
Have you seen the price of chips lately.

Whilst I miss it (and still occasionally visit) I've been in Yorkshire ten years now and feel ready for a flat cap ... just need the right car to go with it ...
