42 is an even number:D. If you read the ad he's using lotto bonus number to pick winner.
Completely illegal btw, you need perission from a garda super. to do something like this

For the lotto draw.
whoever gets the bonus number wins the car

Atomic Pineapple

yeh there's lots of rules and regulations that should be in place here that I doubt are!

Japer's I have a bucking lawnmower thats more valueable than that
crock of tin,

Is this guy serious, does he expect people to send him €40 for a ticket for that. and if you were mad enough to do it and he only sells 20 tickets, if he's lucky.. then what happens. He's going to send you back your money?

kazul

I've seen a couple of these recently and if I could afford a weekend car I'd be tempted to get one. I think they're cool

Absurdum

Gary ITR

I've seen that car in the flesh and seen it move, I certainly wouldn't say no to owning it but I won't be parting with my 40bills

I'd expect to see this kind of asking price on carzone! In fairness to the seller it's a clever way of getting rid of rubbish.

DonJose

Its on english plates, the VRT will probably cost more than the value of the car.

Actually the VRT is €720.

He may have got permission from the Super though kazul and fulfilled all other legal requirements.

dizzydiesel

That's a great idea. €1600 for that pile of sh!te.
I wouldn't pay €40 for the winning ticket.

McGaz23

Isn't there 45 numbers in the lotto now?

mickdw

I think there are now 49 numbers in the lotto so he is planning a scam too Id say. He is probably not happy with 1600 for that heap.

mike65

There's a bunch of guys on Classic Cars that would deffo part with 40 coins for that.

Indeed, it is some class A autosh1te.

Gary ITR

Am I the only one who sees the point of this car. It looks in good shape, I have seen it in the flesh, just passing mind and I think they put out around 150bhp. It'd be some sleeper

eringobragh

I wonder will the winning ticket be number 11

No
I remember when the Bluebird came out, they were very comfortable cars, there was few different versions including a Jap import Maxima that had a turbo 2.0 V6, they are certainly sleepers in stock form.

smellslikeshoes

Seen a lot of these things going around lately, would be a very easy way to run a scam. Not saying this one is a scam or anything though, most of them are just lads who are having trouble selling the car the normal way.

Anyone know the legality of these type of things? Surely there is some amount of restriction on what is essentially a lotto.

I'd have an interest too. This set up sounds like a fcukin chancer at work but they aren't the complete crock of sh1te people think

Your not on your own , ive had 2 bluebirds in my time, it could be a future classic and I like classics but im more into old mercs, Like the sleeper side of it!, that could be fun.
Its just the silly way he wants to sell the car that gets me.

Max_Damage

I'd buy it, but then again, I've an unusual attraction to autoshite anyway!

Oh totally agree on the way he's selling it, then again he could be genuine

In fairness that car was up on carzone about 2 years ago iirc and it was a complete shed, only thing it had going for it was that engine, it looks in good shape now and has had a fair bit of work done

there are 45 numbers but how he'd intend to get 43 44 or 45 to come up is what interests me

Not a bad bus at all, lots going for it, defo not a crock of sh1t to be fair.

snowman707

I know of an 89 one still been used, not pretty to look at but sounds as sweet as day 1.

I had one with almost 300k miles ... until it had an argument with a truck

no1beemerfan

I like it but it does look sh!te because its chav'd up. That doesn't mean its sh!te!

How do you know he ever sell 42 tickets etc? You'd want to be fairly trusting and not mind losing €40!

Obviously the lottery people are in on this.
They're going to split the €1600.

Ah, it is though in fairness. That's why fellow autosh1ters, like myself, love it.

Bluebirds FTW!:D

With bolt on mods such as turbo, air filter, intercooler, fuel pump etc and a good map, that engine could make close to 300bhp :cool::cool:

It already has a Turbo
I remember these coming out when new.
Loved them

I actually like this car,, I have a good reason to like it as my father use to own one and it was a cracking car. Ours was an 87' and a rare bird at that even back in the day when we had it. I would not pay 40 euro for a ticket but I would have no problem paying 720 odd to Vrt it if I had it in my driveway.. I'd love to own that car as it brings me back a long time..My dad use to give me a fiver every week for washing it
