Reading another thread, I think this deserves one of it's own.
Excluding freebies, what's the least you've ever paid for a running, drive away car?
I'll kick this one off....
£3.50 for a Anglia super.

£0.01 for a Renault 25 GTS £0.01 for a Sierra 2.0 GLSi Sapphire Garage I used to work at wanted nothing to do with these two old PXs that came in. So I stuck my hand up.  |

Several free ones, last one that springs to mind was my Sierra which I got for free and then used in a road rally

 This was £50, but the bloke let me off paying so I guess it was actually free. |

Back in about '89, I swapped a packet of Walkers cheese and onion crisps (unopened) for a '79 Datsun 100A FII 4 door in gold with 4 months T&T but no door bottoms... I used and seriously abused it on a daily basis before grenading the engine the day before the MOT ran out  I was given a Rover P5B about 7 years ago - the only things worth keeping were the engine and 'box... |

I paid a tenner for my Metro Turbo. It would have run if the carb wasn't gummed up, I stripped it ready to weld the body before I got it running though.

I've had loads of free ones over the years, a funny one was Triumph Dolomite that had sat unused for a couple of weeks out side the ladies house as she came out one morning and it wouldnt start, when i looked at it it turned out someone had nicked the coil off it.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

I've had bazillions of sub-£100 cars, some good, some utter dross. Agaisnt the thread rules, but best result ever: £0, from a total stranger.  Passed over by many as 'DOA', an hours tinkering and an hours washing, MoT, done. Super. Our Russ got this Alfa 155 off Wakely for the price of a bag of chips. Had about 3 days T&T left on it. We spent about 5 hours prepping it for MoT and it sailed through.  Rather foolishly I let him have my VW LT and I had this off him. I got £395 for the Alfa, he sold the van for a grand. ;D |
