    Looks tidy. Doesn't mention if it has an NCT.

    Cheap on tax but not on juice! Must be one of the last 450's made.

    I miss mine. :(

    Classy car. Pity it wasn't a few months older to avoid the nct.

    Remember my dad had one of these for a while when I was a kid, we thought it was the most luxurious car you could buy. Pity it doesn't qualify for classic tax

    was the mk2 the same as the mark one under the bonnet ? I remember the mk2 sounded very distinct ( sort of offbeat almost like a 5 cylinder I always thought ) and certainly different to the mk1. our mk1 ( my first car ) understeered horrifically compared to the mk2 we had

    Yeah the Mk1 was 1342 and the Mk2 was 1243. Caught me out a few times when they were "modern" cars. They are mechanically almost identical but I too preferred the Mk1's.

    I would also agreed with the clued in guys re the 205GTI, the 1.6 was nicer to drive, sweeter, rev happy and the gear ratios were very well chosen. The 1.9 felt heavier and although it had more grunt it just felt less eager. The scariest moment I ever had was in a 1.9, only 6 months old, driving too fast through a series of "S" bends and mid way through the 3rd I realised my speed was too fast and I lifted off.......yep.........that was it........one pirouette later and I never drove one again after that.

    BTW I recall the 1.6 had 115BHP and the 1.9 had 130BHP in pre-cat form.

    Also I noted the add says 16" wheels, the 1.9's were 15's, but at that price it has to be worth a look !

    The advert has been removed off DoneDeal

    Probably a wind-up as it looked way too clean/straight for the suggested price

    There appears to be people in Ireland trawling Donedeal with lots of time, a wad of cash in their back pocket and a car transporter ticking over outside the front door.
    And why not,itseems like a good business plan to me?

    Like many seemingly good business plans , they are not as easy as they seem , there's a fair amount of crap cars for sale and many are not what they are described. Be prepared to drive your transporter a few hundred miles home and back empty and that soon takes away the profit ;) Viewed a car recently and the guy told me on the phone that he had all the paperwork, turned out he had none and some people travelled 100 miles to see the feckin car , luckily I only travelled a few. Buyer beware on donedeal at the moment , many cowboys on board ..

    Its possible - sure.

    But a clean and straight looking Mk1 Golf (according to the advert it had both tax & test too) would make a hell of a lot more than €800 all day long. Even someone desperate for cash or emigrating wouldn't be crazy enough to put it up for peanuts ... or at least that'd be my thinking on it.

    Depends on who you are I suppose if you look like you belong in a micra you might look a bit silly.
    Some degree of facial hair seems to be a pre-requisite for driving these and corvettes too. Either in the biker look direction or the blue oyster bar kida look. They kinda scream "I'm DAMN Heterosexual buddy", either because the driver is, or isn't and is very scared of admitting it to anyone least of all themselves.

    If you own one and feel offended, don't be, here's me and my vehicle of choice. :)

    Macplaxton I'm impressed with your knwledge of retro sound systems it is indeed a Panasonic Cockpit RM710 (RM=roof mounted) the top in the panasonic range and one of the most expensive stereos of it's time.

    The motor is a small block chevy 350ci/5.7ltr V8 from a 73 Camaro rebuilt check my build thread in the project section for more details.

    Last time I saw a RM710 (NOS) a few months ago, it went for around 700USD.:eek:

    Is it a US-spec FM PLL tuner? (88.1, 88.3, 88.5 - odd numbered tenths /200Mhz jumps)

    As I have an interest in late 70s/early 80s car radios, particularly very early PLL digital display tuners, I've got a few radios around - including a Panasonic RM310.

    That is a P38.. the guy is avoiding VRT, Road Tax and NCT. It should be crushed. Idiots like this will kill the classic car scene for us all.

    The chassis could never be vintage on it.

    Havent P38s a chassis number under the screen? Say if this has been done legally, wouldnt the resultant vehicle be a brutal thing to drive as the older chassis wouldnt be up to the job?
