Rare modern classics for sale ? ....let us know !

Silvera

Seen an unusual classic for sale ?
Lets us know !

Toyota Carina 1600 '78. 4dr saloon, 17,000 miles, as new inside and out, never painted, no rust, cheap, £1950. 078-4562 2117 Omagh.

I would doubt if there are many 1978 Toyota Carinas left in Ireland, let alone with 17,000 miles on the clock !

BrainD3, this could be the one for you ?

Very interesting Silvera. I'd buy that if I had a heated garage to put it in, unfortunately I don't even have a house for myself at the moment! Hopefully the carina goes to a good home it would be sad if it fell into the hands of banger racers :eek: :mad:

How old must a car be to be considered a classic?

Like beauty, a classic is in the eye of the beholder. There is no fixed age (unless you're the Revenue).

Otherwise at least two other board users must agree with you...

Hi,

Does a 1989 Mk 2 Golf GTI in very clean condition come under the veil of classic in anybodys eyes ?

Saw one today for sale, I was thinking they must be getting rare now.

Nice Escort Alfa !

BTW, is that a mowing machine I spy behind it (in the third pic) ?
(Is it a wheel-driven mowing machine ?)

I'd agree that an '89 Golf GTi (an unmolested example!), is fast becoming a rare breed in Ireland. Buy now when it's cheap !

Well spotted Silvera - yes there are actually two of them back to back - both are identical Ferguson models (one is for spare parts). My old man is into that stuff and uses one of them to mow the grass in a field we have. They are very difficult to set up properly - would often spend 2 hours adjusting them on the back of the tractor and only spend 30 minutes cutting the grass :rolleyes:

The wheels are changed to alloys, the tail lights Lexus lookalikes and headlights were upgraded.

I was told the old lenses and original bits were there (I am not a fan of Lexus lenses unless they are on a Lexus).

NCT etc asking 4250.00, personally I would trust myself in the Alfa's Escort before the Golf.

Is my age showing by that last sentence ?

I reckon you would be right not to go for that Golf.

But the sounds of it, it was/is owned by something of a 'boy racer' type - who, as we all know, have something of a reputation of thrashing/bashing their cars - driving-wise that is (i.e their cars may look good, but the s?'t is usually drive out of 'em).

Hold out for an original GTi, perhaps owned by a club member.

Hi Silvera,

I know this particular car and last owner, it was treated like a baby, maybe given too many treats

I am the one I wouldn't trust, the penalty points can clock up when driving cars with hidden performance.

Camorobill,

There are BBS alloys but not on the car, I expect they could be sold seperate, I will ask if you are interested.
