I see it's now gone but I think there was something suspect about this. Could be wrong but it was snapped up in Meath and sat in Cork for a month and then had a grand knocked off the original price. Hopefully I'm wrong and someone got a cracker

MOT history says central oil leak. On an M103 engine that is either a rear crank oil seal or input seal on the gearbox. Just did that job on my 300SE

I had been trying to do a deal in this for a while - seller seems genuine enough, took it as a trade in as he is trying to reduce his cars

I am sorry he didnt offfer this to me at this price - I had a vrt slot booked for 20th that I cancelled - at this price with a VRT slot pre dec31st I would have bought it

could be made a nice little car I think

Reg doesn't exactly line up with the just arrived from Japan, it's been here a decade or so based on that number.

What ? I just imported 90D120181 at the start of December
In fact I was surprised to see that 12 more 90's came in this month !

The 12xxxx range is where all imports are starting now regardless of year when registered in Dublin.

Beltby

There's a bit too much brown for my liking. Still another 30 years left in that machine though.

Not for newer cars but maybe the case for classics alright.

This thread is about classics though.

Hafta say, I have a gorgeous tiny mileage merc 190e and I would swap it for that any day. Stunning car.

Duke O Smiley

The seller of that Toyota had this one for sale last month, was up for €8k

You're right, sorry, the 120xxx with a 1990 really threw me

Lovely motor, albeit a tad dull. Very optimistic asking price though. For how much would you land one from Japan?

Interesting. You selling?

Asking price is pretty much spot on, low kilometre cars making 10k and more

Lol no, only have it a few months, but you know yourself, when something interesting comes along......
I've lost count of the amount of times I've said this one's a keeper!

W201 is very hard to beat as a classic car if you get a good one with low miles and petrol / auto

Never stops us looking elsewhere though, does it?

SmartinMartin

45k miles, auto, petrol, 122bhp (201.024 engine), and as far as I can predict, she's a keeper!

Same guy that had the blue Zodiac before. He got this in it's place.
It's fairly mint.
€7K....possibly.

She's looking fairly greenhouse'y inside I'd be checking and sniffing very strongly. 7 grand is a lot of money for a mobile foot spa.

Maybe I’m way out of touch with things, but that Cortina to my mind should be priced at about €4-5k. I know anything old with a blue oval on the bonnet is going to be worth loads, but I wouldn’t imagine you’d even have too many Ford fans queuing up for that.

Has never had an NCT either, for whatever that is worth.

Even at that it's too much, lads get delusional about what they have.

IIRC the Crusader was an English or British, Edition, wheras here the trim levels were Corrib and Cashel or something a little less Anglo..... I'd imagine it was exposed to a fair amount of salty roads in its time.

Tara and Cashel
