Jeez. Do you know the old owner?

No. But anyone driving around in a car for years, without bothering to have its roadworthyness tested is a selfish dick imho. Probably doesn't have valid insurance either.

There was a valid insurance disc in the window.

Not having a valid NCT can have an impact on the validity of your insurance. It's like deliberately driving around with worn tyres. Do you think an insurance company would not check that if you had a serious claim?

All you need is a showband!

Up from €2900. You'd think he'd take a day or two, wash it, wax it a bit, introduce Mr Proper to the cab and clean the shyte out of the back of it.

94 Camry readvertised for 450. I'm sure this was a no reserve sale

And most of them won't sell at that anyway.

I see the tidy 1998 red golf cabrio Lambe and o connor have had for sale for ages was there , they were looking for just under 2k for it at the garage and remember thinking its not bad value. Assume it didn't sell at €550?

That Golf had no reserve. Didn't realise it was from Lambe and O'C

they had it for sale for about 2 years along with a 2001 car at their garage - but when they moved to Clonee had less space so must have wanted shot if it . Possible future classic surprised they didn't keep it. From pics. it looked well and had low miles.

NCT out in a few weeks. If the seller is half serious expecting that kinda money for it, he should at least give it a new test...

It was bid up from 1k from memory.
If it didn't sell it means it didnt hit the reserve.
I had my eye on that one big time. i was only there for the look mind, although I am an online bidder so could have bought on the app if I really wanted!

Fella standing beside me when it was going through said to someone else "it should be an ad for isopon"

Wow he got this too! Bidding only went to €1650 on this, surely a deal was struck afterwards or this was an absolute and utter bargain

thats a nice mark up on price, but who the hell wants a morris marina camper....maybe rare but a complete bag of sh!te imo.....

Something weird about that r4....

Look at the front bumper - there is some sort of panel/shelf in red sticking out ....

Inner wing in engine bay (passenger side) looks ropey also....

Side indicators also wrong, they should be triangular (as in renault emblem)

front grille badge and bonnet badge wrong....
