Who in their right mind will pay any decent ammounts of cash for this there is no price but i bet he wants phone numbers for it.I would love to know what he has spent on it.

TOMMY_RS 15-04-2010 12:07 PM

m4tt274 15-04-2010 12:08 PM

carlo 15-04-2010 12:09 PM

Chopper1981 15-04-2010 12:19 PM

My mate sold him that when it was a standard black 1.6 car, he's had it painted a few different colours over the years and had more than a few different sets of wheels. the amount of money he has spent must be shocking :cry:

carlo 15-04-2010 12:21 PM

I honestly think he will be keeping it as i cant see anyone paying good cash for this kind of thing

Mark 3D 15-04-2010 12:24 PM

I dont like it myself but have to admire the work that has gone into it!!

Fiddy 15-04-2010 12:26 PM

I appreciate the amount of time and money that must have gone into it, but its fugly

Dezzer 15-04-2010 12:28 PM

wee_wull 15-04-2010 12:30 PM

R4N SS 15-04-2010 01:15 PM

CoupeUK 15-04-2010 01:26 PM

Waste of money. Must have thousands in it

Psycho Warren 15-04-2010 02:30 PM

If thats "best in britain" then that says a lot for how backwards this country has gone :cry::cry:

Mike C 15-04-2010 02:47 PM


Im thinking of saleing my cab.
It would look right at home floating down the Thames!

Yeah, it's had loads spent on it, and been through several incarnations, but bet he wants stupid money for it. Not really my type of thing as it definitely ain't a performance vehicle of any kind.

It was at over £40k years ago. There was a link to a TV show on BBC iplayer a couple of years back, and it's changed quite a bit since then.

It was some proper shite regional program. I wouldn't have got it up here as it was on the "Essex Version" :cry: :cry: :cry:

:DD: i can see 1976 custom car magazine,wanting to feature this ...is the guy a hispanic ? lot of time & money BUT stuck in a time warp sos:sad:

RichieST 15-04-2010 03:58 PM

Fair enough IMO, plenty of people out there that would want to buy that. Certainly not my cup of tea though!

I guess other's don't understand why you would want to bling up the underbonnet of an old sierra with chrome, and spend thosands making it quicker as you could just go and spend that money on buying a faster car in the first place.

Whatever floats your boat I guess!

^^^ THIS!

There's no difference in spending thousands doing something like this chap has done, or spending thousands doing something like Rod, or Martin, or Porkie did with the 3dr. It's all about spending thousands doing something that makes you happy - beit modifying a car to look good, or sound good, or be "bling" or modifying a car to go very fast, handle well, or whatever.

Horses for courses at the end of the day. If we all modified cars the same way, what would be the point?

Char1ie 15-04-2010 04:34 PM

Useful that it has TV screens in the door which would line up perfectly with your hips so you'd have no chance of seeing them. WTF?

+1

dojj 15-04-2010 04:39 PM

why has he put screens in the door cards?
right next to the bit that will be obscured by the seat?
and why, when he's spent all that time and effort and money on it, didn't he mount the head unit in a better place?
and wtf is it with the speakers in the glovebox?

dingla rs 15-04-2010 04:52 PM

TOMMY_RS 15-04-2010 04:59 PM

mk3_escort 15-04-2010 06:08 PM

J1mbo 15-04-2010 06:12 PM
