Roll up, roll up for a once in a life time opportunity to join the ranks of the veg oil MASSIVE for a bargain price with this Peugeot 106 1.5 Diesel. JUST £170!
To kick off this pussy magnet has almost 3 month tax and MOT for over a month! The gearbox changes cleanly and easily between all gears and the engine pulls like a train (Stephenson’s Rocket) on whatever fuel you throw in it, and it will run on anything vaguely oil based, with the Bosch pump taking it happily. In this weather I would run a 60% veg and 40% diesel mix. It has done about 171,000 miles but still has plenty of life left in it. I did briefly consider taking it out the car and turning it into a diesel generator to really curse word off the neighbours.
The bodywork is somewhat characterful. It was originally in a luscious red with some areas where the lacquer has peeled and the paint underneath has nicely pogweaseled. There is a ‘retro’ black tide line up each side, I suspect where it has had new sills at some point. The wing mirrors are duct taped on. The most interesting feature in the bodywork is the amount of newspaper that is stuck to it. I slapped this on as a bit of a laugh, not expecting it to last, and then it did. I’ve made a half arsed attempt to make it naked again but various small bits have not peeled off, I’m sure with minimal effort they will come off but that is more effort than I am willing to put into it.
It has been lowered 60mm (lowering spring up front not cut springs) but is still remarkably comfortable, if a bit bouncy and this can cause the mudflaps to hit the ground occasionally. The mudflaps are covered in mahogany effect vinyl. It will come on steel wheels, 3 of which I believe to be original; the fourth might be from Saxo. There is one Michelin of indeterminate age, one Powergrip and two Mohawks. All the tyres literally have an amount of tread but there is no spare wheel as it was buckled, flat and bald so I lobbed it.
The interior is rather unpleasant, but functional. I cleaned it out in May to a standard where I was reasonably happy to be in it, but have not cleaned it out since and there has been one attempt to give the interior a touch of class by covering part of the dash board in more mahogany effect vinyl. Almost everything works to some extent, except the drivers interior door handle which does nothing but lock the door so exiting involves winding the window down and using the exterior handle. The remote adjustment for the mirrors also does not function, for obvious reasons. There is a radio, but no speakers so it is unknown if this actually does work. Due to a blow in front part of the exhaust when it hit a rock, turning on the interior fan fills the car with a faintly oily smog. The heater however works a treat, as does all the lights, the hand brake, the seat adjusters and belts. There are no nasty warning lights and I assume the airbag does work but it is untested.
For its next MOT the exhaust blow will need to be fixed and it needs at least one patch in the passenger side rear arch, I think the interior door handle will also need fixing. These should not be difficult for someone with a sparkle stick and then you can run this incredibly economical car for another year. On average it costs me about £30 to do 300 miles.
So what are you waiting for, come running down to sunny Devon with £170 and drive away in your very own veg guzzling Peugeot. But don’t just take my word for it, what does television personality Jeremy Beadle have to say about it?
“That sounds great”

Now for some pictures, please note that these do not reflect how the car looks in its current state, imagine that it is at a point directly between the red shiny car and the newspapered one with daft wheels. I will get some up to date pictures tomorrow.
I will be needing this gone ASAP, if it has not gone before I get bored looking at it then I am going to send it to the crusher with a boot full of kittens and a nun on the back seat, so get your down here with £170 today!
