What am I missing about this car?

What am I missing - not sure I'd pay £100 for it.

Just because it sold on eBay for that much does not seem to mean it's sold, there seems to be a lot of time wasters on eBay.
You might find it re appears on eBay…

Also small block cars are probably rarer than Gtis as you don't seem to see as many about.

Not 1905…….

You know the old saying,  "There's one born every minute, and three ready to take him…. "

Or how about a pink caddy for £7800!

They resprayed everything in the engine bay including the heater blower and electrical cables  
Looks like a quick blow over as even the rubbers on the top mounts are pink, how long till the rust starts to re appear?

That's brilliantly half arsed…

Reminded me of Lucky McGee's Cabby.



Difference was that hers was stripped and professionally done.

Oh, and I forgot the tail pipe extender

Yes was a time that even nice non-GTI/Cabrios struggled to clear £1000, do agree though that there are 10 GTIs/Cabrios for every small block so they are rare.

On ebay seems that 2 similar cars, one running, road worthy and MOT'd and one a complete shed but "barn find" and the barn find find makes 2 or 3x as much. Perverse.

Good lord, that pink caddy is a shocker!

That mock Haynes manual is just brilliant!
Funniest things I've seen in a long time.      

I love that…just brilliant.  

Here is another basket case for lots of money, seems to have rusty holes every where, front strut towers shot as well….

That is the IKEA of classic cars!

This one looks interesting. Not sure about the modifiers pedigree but interesting project.
