Not very retro I know but it's gotta go, 85k, V6 (Honda) Auto, tax to end of month and MOT until the middle of next year. I was going for a V6 Allegro but can't find a suitable other part of the puzzle, anyhoo I broke a front CV in my G-wagen on Sunday so need cash cash cash!!!   It's a big old barge, it goes, stops, steers (ish) has some wheelbearing noise and an exhaust blow but would make an excellent drivetrain and interior donor. £250 would get it, it's on eBay as of tonight, drive away! Based in Hampshire just outside Lymington, local drop off would be possible. It'd make a great Christmas present. |

It will be somewhere from 1992 to 1995 going by the rear lights and non-colour coded bumpers (thus speaks an 800 enthusiast!). Well worth a look at that price, I'd say. |

It's a '92, J reg, I guess it's an early one of these later type. Definitely worth a look  It will need the bearing sorted if you are going to using it instead of breaking it but overall not a bad car. Certainly goes well. |

Nah, somewhere by the back axle I think, not really had the energy or inclination to fix it and it's not really a bad one but it is noticable. Go on, it's nearly Christmas.... I always buy mself a car for my birthday..... Go on go on go on... £250 doesn't buy you a pint nowadays or even a sofa in a half price end of line shop closing sale.
Is this helping the decision making process?

This car represents amazing value. I will personally clean the windscreen using top quality products and ensure there is enough fuel to at least get out of the premises....     Still here and still on fleabay. Delivery wouldn't be out of the question locally for cost and a bit of notice. These were the prettiest pictures I had of it (apart from the rusty bit by the bootlid) |

Any experts on these - I want to know whether they are typical cars or are actually of near BMW/Audi build quality.

Not sold on ebay. Buyer was in DURHAM which as it turns out is a bit far away.... Any offers? Tax out but long MOT, I need the money and the space.
