    Yep - loads of new body parts available on the likes of Taros Trade e.g. the faded grey bumpers and side rubbing strips could be gotten for around 200 quid plus shipping. Then fit new but age appropriate number plates. Polish and wax paint. Hubcap from ebay. Even assuming that the car has dings and paint issues that can't be seen in the photos, it might end up as one of the nicest left on the roads in UK/Ire.

    My first set of wheels was a 1994 clio RN in wine with body coloured bumpers and factory front foglamps. It wasn't bad when I got it, and only 6 years old..but I was young and well... it went for 250 quid at an auction about a year later.. fun car to go for a small hatch with no sporty illusions, and more comfortable than anything of its time.

    NCT to 11/21 on this, €3,000. Seems to be a decent price for a car that's not perfect but very useable. Might be crusty at the back left wing? Was this owned by a boardsie at some stage. It looks familiar.

    I really like this. They used to be everywhere at one stage. Very decent price at €5,950. 1966, but restored in 2005.

    based on what folks have been asking recently I think that does indeed look like a bit of a bargain.

    My Dad had a BMC version of this, back when I was small enough to stand alongside /sit on the switch panel to the right of the steering wheel, with the two lads working for him on the passenger seat and engine cover, the original crew cab


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators Posts: 5,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭kadman


    In all fairness the Leyland got a lick o paint here, lick o paint there resto, especially around the
    chassis and cab area.
    Painting metals around brackets different colours, and matching bolt covers instead of new bolts
    would give me cause for concern. So it needs a good inspection in case its a potential money pit.

    And do commercial classics commercials all need a cvrt now , open to correction here.

    It's not as bad in real life. I had one in that colour in Germany for a few months, wasn't too keen on it at the beginning but it sort of grew on me. Sills needed to be done for the TUV so we put export plates on it, drove it to Mauritania and sold it there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,079 ✭✭✭✭Duke O Smiley


    I like the look of this one:

    1.8 "Exklusiv" which was only for the Irish market. They were badged as something else in the UK, but were basically last of the line w201s before the C Class came to showrooms. They were available in this nice blue, black and a burgundy colour. Came with nice seats too

    I think €4k is a bit saucy for a 1.8 manual with no NCT and 10 owners though

    I like the colour too, remember it from "real cars", it looks different than in the pictures

    Nice find and, like my own W201 that I sold last year for a bit over the €3k mark, if you get a well sorted one, they are a joy to own, very relaxing drive, while still easily keeping up with today's traffic. Extremely well made to a standard we will never see again and utterly and totally reliable.

    Very underrated classic and if you see what rubbish is posted here regularly for similar money you'd wonder why the hell these aren't worth more :pac:

    I guess a steady supply of them from the UK, where there are thousands of them - >30 (but <40) year old have no special benefits over there - so not worth that much meant you could bring them in cheaply, I did so myself with a few of them. But that stream has now dried up...

    Sorry to hear that, but I am way too grisly to take any notice of people trying to annihilate me for telling the truth.:P

    Plus the fact the truth is you got one extension of 4 months on your NCT date, and thats it.

    A good classic should have no fear of doing an NCT, its the cheapest recognizable document of a cars health, and whats not to like about that.:)

    Not by me.

    Unfortunately there are far too many classic car owners in Ireland who don't care about their safety or that of others and who couldn't bother getting their car NCTd

    The €1500 fine and 5 penalty points and confiscation of cars really should be enforced on people who are taking the p1ss driving around for years with an untested car


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators Posts: 5,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭kadman


    | got plenty of grief on some forums for saying classics should have some form of
    testing on brakes and steering and tyres at the very least.

    Its a bit strange really that you can have a 50 year old car on the road without any sort of
    inspection from anybody. And i make no apology to anyone for holding that viewpoint.

    I've seen some cars at shows that should have been in a skip, and they were driven there:eek:

    :)

    I'd say people's issue with the NCT is some of the inconsistency applied and petty issues that lead to failures, and in some cases serviceable vehicles being scrapped. It is infuriating, a bit like referring inconsistencies in football matches.

    Basic checks on brakes, steering and tyres should be acceptable to everyone, and is a good idea.

    Lord stop, some of the junk at those shows would make your blood run cold, not helped by filler merchant car restorers!! You'd be terrified driving the yoke to a test centre never mind getting it tested. Bikes and tractors were no better.

    Rubbish absolute rubbish. I used to drive wedding cars from the 1920's to the early 60's and there was never a bother getting them tested one required the decelleromoter for the brake test which needed to be stated beforehand, it had a propshaft driven brake booster system.

    With some cars I would have a problem handing the keys over to an NCT guy that would then lift the car the same way as ever regardless of where and if he finds the lifting points for my car. And if a damage to the sills or the floor is done you have no come back after unfortunately. Some people are happy with that, some are not. Those that are not are usually able to look after their cars, so they are in top condition anyway.

    A neighbour dropped down a mk2 golf that needed a couple of bits, once it was on the lift you could see about 20 indentations underneath it where the tester was poking it for corrosion. Very excessive carry on

    I’m not someone who really bothers with NCT’ing a classic, but on the few occasions that I have done this has been my experience of the test. They seem desperate to fail older stuff unless they’re immaculately presented cars.

    For me when it comes to buying a car especially a classic, nct isn't that important. Nct isn't comprehensive enough to say if a car really is healthy or not, it gives you a fair idea but there can be so many potential issue not picked up. Just because a car has an nct doesn't mean it isn't a heap of sh!t

    No issue at all with their method, just saying that - in my experience - they can be very aggressive with the poking and prodding at my local centre.

    They seem desperate to fail older stuff unless they’re immaculately presented cars.

    one of my cars failed on a loose battery (despite it passing with it like that multiple times before ) - which I fixed myself to what I thought was a reasonable standard

    When it was being retested I saw him gritting his teeth and really having a go at it - the asshat shook it so violently he broke the negative cable connection to the bodywork. D*ckhead - there was no need for that

    It had also failed first time on the lights aim being slightly off.
    it passed on the 2nd time, but I saw the prick go back and over it a few times I am sure trying to fail it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,863 ✭✭✭RobAMerc



    I am fairly sure I test drove that car in Greystones last year. At the time there was a crack in the exhaust manifold and am issue with the brakes but its a huge amount of car for the money.

    "An issue with the brakes" is usually the start of an expensive journey for Rolls Royce owners. It starts with that innocent looking light on the dash that should go out after a few seconds, but stays on.

    Any manifold can be welded, but the hydraulic system is a real ball breaker.

    Exactly - this is what happens on the ITV in Spain, you dont have to leave the car.

    There is absolutely no need for NCT testers to damage a car when checking for rust - anyone who knows what they are looking for wont mistake good metal and damage it. A tap will tell you all you meed to know before the screwdriver comes out.

    Of course. Now I know why it looked so familiar. That car was probably bought for around the €5k mark, it looks fantastic but at the time I looked into the issue with the brakes and it would cost a small fortune to get sorted.

    I guess it wasn't sorted. So still no NCT, back up for sale because the buyer realised the financial extent of the problem. Dealer presents the car well, hoping another fool will bite...

    I know that sounds harsh and if I'm honest I was tempted by that car myself last year. I guess in a few years time it won't need any NCT anymore. Which isn't right in my opinion. Cars should never be exempt and certainly not when they did not pass any safety check before reaching the age of becoming exempt.

    Yes, it was the brakes issue that turned me off it. Also, it being a gold roller made me feel a little icky driving it. Never been in anything that says "In your face poor people ! " so much ( and I am no lefty :) )

    Just to be clear - I am not 100% this is the same car. A lot of water has flowed under and even more red wine has flowed through me in the last year ! I sometimes look out at my own cars and think I recognise them from somewhere !:D

    I'd be thinking about putting up another €8,000 and get this instead of that Roller, could be cheaper in the long run (if the details check out). €56 tax is a dream on one of these. Pity the long reg number looks shlte, but they did their best with that plate.

    At my NCT test last August, the tester managed to break off the plastic trim on the door side of the driver's seat (the cover with some of the switches for the seat function. Really annoying. I can't see any way to fix it, as it looks like a plastic piece snapped off.
