	I was wondering if ebay had any winter/pre-Christmas bargains. I always find my favourite section of their classic sales is the "other" bit as I've found some suitably interesting old stuff at reasonable prices in there. Today was no different. I've had my eye on one of these for a while. Imagine it low in a dark bronze metalflake, with suitable striping, some subtle custom work (smoothed handles), could be awesome. (I guess they rust for a hobby though?) www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-403-Estate-/182375737613 Got a soft spot for these Saabs, I've seen some fetch reasonable money, but others seem to still be pretty cheap, is there something fundamentally wrong with them? www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1977-Saab-96-LV4-1-5-/222333652536 Bit of early 90's hot hatch action, not far from me as well! Looks like it could be a good winter project to get sorted and out for show season, or strip it out and get ready for track days www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1992-Suzuki-Swift-GTI-/192044759795 Slightly ungainly but could be super cool if given the right treatment www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-MITSUBISHI-GALANT-SAPPORO-I-SILVER-/262750205197 Seeing as it is Christmas someone can buy me this Arnolt MG Coupe : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-of-the-only-67-coupe-built-and-maybe-the-only-one-preserved-and-untouched-/282276564547 Will keep an eye on things coming up to Christmas, maybe interesting stuff slips through the cracks when everyone else is thinking about presents and turkey

	Peugeot would be just lovely to own and play with. Cool thread idea too. Peugeot now gone. Maybe a good ting. For my wallet, that is.

	That's exactly what netted me this a couple of weeks back- eBay 'other' classic cars, something under a grand on the road with potential for mods. It was just tipping into the ''SH1T I need money for Christmas what can I sell' period, so I rang the seller off his number in the ad, made him a cheeky offer which he accepted, and paid him a deposit to pull the auction. We'll not go into it being In manchester, a 14hr round trip away.... 'Cos when all your cars are broken the obvious answer is to buy more ropey old cars.

	Someone who lives near me has a Sapporo just like that silver one. Seeing it around always brightens my day. It's so unbelievably 80s it's untrue and I loved the 80s.

	Cool thread I saw the Pug 403 Estate in the first post a few days ago, so "no" - it's not just you who browses for tat during the holidays Not on "others" but it qualifies as interesting www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Corsair-1965-retro-classic-/122259198276?hash=item1c77375144:g:y7kAAOSwzaJX-k1Q MOT'd, lots done but owner moving house, gearbox jammed in gear otherwise looks ready to roll. Ends tomorrow, sensible start price - no bids yet

	Surprisingly clean MoT history, what there is of it. Overhaul/repair or replace the current engine and gearbox to see it theoretically mechanically sound, do something about that exhaust and otherwise leave as is. Looks really smart on the original steels and hubcaps at the current ride height and the satin black compliments the lines and the blue of the car. I really rate that, I'd definitely take it under my wing if my situation were ever so slightly different right now (space, money, time etc.).
