If the car is as bad as you say I’d be asking for your money back or small claims court will be the way to go I had it on my ramp and thought it looked pretty average for a 40 year old car. I can't say I noticed any loss of structural integrity when I jacked it up to change the wheels. I wasn't aware that it was in such a bad way, I bought the car, used it for a couple of months, found that I didn't like it all that much and decided to sell it. It was mot'd when I bought it and it was still on the same mot when I sold it.

Teuchter wagons is simply brilliant. Just had a look I had a teuchter wagons sticker on my 305.

This is the car in question and it was me who sold it. I bought it, drove it for a couple of months and sold it.

IMG_4374 by srblythe, on Flickr IMG_4375 by srblythe, on Flickr IMG_4376 by srblythe, on Flickr Picked up this 305 van quite recently, the previous owner had just bought it for the registration number and now it comes with an age related E registration. I fitted some better wheels/tyres to get it rolling and poked some holes in it. The sills and scuttle area are very rusty but the floors and chassis legs look pretty good. Have a look at the video and decide for yourself. It's been off the road for a number of years and only has a couple of previous keepers, mileage is showing as 75k and it has the bombproof XUD diesel engine with Bosch fuel pump so might be worth just splitting it for the low mileage engine and box. The fuel filter is missing as are the keys so I've made no attempt to start it. I have no time/enthusiasm to break it so would prefer it to go as one, it does have a few decent parts left on it and is otherwise complete. I also have a 305 estate which I have started to break which could provide some better condition bits if someone wanted to buy the van to restore. IMG_4394 by srblythe, on Flickr IMG_4395 by srblythe, on Flickr Located in Cowdenbeath, Scotland You'll need a trailer/transporter. £450

Is it a genuine 2.0S do you know? The seats aren’t S Seats, but many Cortinas will have had their seats swapped for anything in half decent condition now. Still a good price for the car whatever the model. It started life as a GL Auto in silver with a brown vinyl roof but at some point has been converted to manual and resprayed in purple and made to look like an "S" with the boot spoiler and black panel on the rear. The seats and centre console are from a mk5 Cortina.

That is an astonishing bargain and won't hang around. If only I had the money, etc. Chris It's a good price for a roadworthy Cortina and I'm only really advertising it so cheap because I have my eye on something else but I can see this thing hanging around for ages before somebody actually buys it. I have it advertised in various places for more but advertised it here for the "lowest price" in hope that an enthusiast would just come and buy it.

Some crusty bits around the body, brakes are a bit iffy and it's a little notchy getting into first gear. Looks great in the photos but it isn't as good in person. This is a cheap way into classic Ford ownership.

I knew Aprilia's had a reputation for being quick but this one is really slow compared with the kmx. It has a restricted CDI unit and doesn't seem to have a power valve on the cylinder head. I was quite disappointed with it thinking it would be faster I would palm off the kmx to the Mrs and keep the Aprilia... Maybe when I manage to make it quicker I will have it...

It's a great price for a roadworthy 190E but just seem to be getting harassed by the usual timewasters on gumtree and facebook.

Up for sale is my recently acquired Mercedes 190E, since buying it I welded an exhaust silencer back on and replaced a radiator hose, it's too low for my liking and just isn't getting used so it has to go... Mercedes 190e 1.8 petrol automatic 153k miles Mot may 2021 20200911174040_IMG_4317 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911173810_IMG_4308 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911173824_IMG_4309 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911173852_IMG_4311 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911173930_IMG_4314 by srblythe, on Flickr Engine and gearbox in great shape, runs very well and changes gear smoothly. Bodywork in good condition for the age and has some minor rust but is solid underneath. Suspension is very low and quite stiff. Interior is nice, decent condition, doesn't seem to suffer from any bolster wear as these old 190's often do. Some service history. 20200911174212_IMG_4322 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911174154_IMG_4321 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911174612_IMG_4332 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911173722_IMG_4304 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911173732_IMG_4305 by srblythe, on Flickr 20200911174330_IMG_4330 by srblythe, on Flickr Some bad points, the central locking/doors only unlock from the passenger door, the heater blower motor doesn't work, the stereo doesn't work and the speakers have been removed from the front doors leaving huge gaping hoes in the doorcards, the suspension is very low and also quite harsh/crashy on bumpy roads. Overall a cool old Mercedes for under a grand which can be used right away but could be doing with a couple of bits and bobs. Would consider a swap for another old car or a 2 stroke motorcycle. £750, Fife, Scotland Ad ID: 1384265241
