Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

There was a lovely Vanden Plas edition on DD last year that wasn't mad money either. I was very tempted......

I remember that, but I mostly remember Duke's fawning over it!

If you think thats rough, you should see the one I paid €150 for!

Mine had 12 months NCT too. And about seven years ago I paid €80 for a literally mint, like-brand-new one with 11k miles on the clock, from the original owner!

86 MR2 with NCT & tax for €3500, seems a decent price

Did someone take a paint brush to it, there's over spray on the door hinge, nice price if it's not riddled with rust.

The Metro is back, and 700 quid more expensive.

Hydrolastic suspension on them isn’t there? I’d say it just deflated after sitting for so long, but no idea what would be involved in getting it back to useable standard.

It’s an interesting little car, seemed very clean from the photos, and had an interesting history file etc. Depending on the sort of recommissioning it needed, I think it was well priced at €2k. It’s the sort of yoke that you won’t see another of at a show, and will get people talking etc. Someone obviously agrees because it was sold in an hour.

We had a few of them on the self drive fleet back then, and when we had a suspension problem, we used to send them to a BMC garage to get them done as there was a special pumping kit for the hydrolastic suspension, and a fluid to go with it.

That is weird alright.

It crossed my mind that it might be somebody flipping it quickly for a bit of profit, but they used all the same exact pictures from the 1st ad.

Hi, The first Disco was launched in 1989 not 1979. It is registered as a P5 Rover, colour green automatic. Have a look at the welding picture no- 5. This " wagon " had a change of ownership a few days ago. It is manual with cloth seat's, how cheap can you get ? A similar one to this was on donedeal about 2 year's ago. It was reported to donedeal (not by me) as a bogey they dropped the ad.

Disco body on a different chassis. The reg number goes with the chassis.

P5 production ended in 1973... we need Colombo or some other suitably 1970s detective to figure this one out
