classic bargains thread

[shirt]

general gassing has some good threads with potential bargains, i think we should have something similar on here. anything you see when browsing that is an absolute bargain should be shared.

I'll start. a bit late as the auction ended, but this elan was an absolute steal for someone:

This may not end up being a bargain, (no bids yet).

But I love the photos of this car, it makes it look like a giant Airfix kit.

Still the largest production Jaguar to date I believe. Very, very cool.

The XJ 220 is wider and the XJ8 LWB is longer so I am not convinced it is anymore.

there was an amazing one on ebay a few months back. an exact, and i mean exact replica of the BL works touring cars. the guy who did it had an absolutely massive amount of info. he'd collected/researched along with BL racing memorabilia he'd sourced. car was spot on with all the right bits and was up for about £8-9k iirc with an additional couple of grand for the other stuff.

my own near miss was a fwd 1300. pale blue with unmarked red interior, steel wheels, and a full-house sprint engine and rwd conversion

theres a lovely group 2 racer in this months c&sc as well.

This looks rather smart. Wouldnt usually go for a loud green car but its very 70's and I think rather suits it. Ebay link

this is lovely too IMO,

these rusted like bugger IIRC, but still the best shape IMO
This one appears to have been well cared for too

[austin]

I'm really liking this! (Might need a polish though



Just over £500 at the moment with a few days left...

Would be a great way to arrive with friends / picnic / bar at VSCC or Goodwood events

That looks very cheap. Classic Minis seem to be hugely expensive as a rule these days, much like vaguely decent mk2 Escorts.
