eBay watch: Low mileage 1970s Rover 2000TC

Posted on | Leave a comment

Rover

A really distinctive car – and this Rover 2000TC has done little over 10,000 miles since it was produced back in 1973.

Indeed, it has had just one owner for the last 33 years, that owner doing just 440 miles since 1994. You can safely say it's in great condition. It's also got some added authenticity, sold with the maker's literature pack, two sets of keys and sales brochure. There's even an 'as new' original spare wheel and tyre.

It's the classic car that needs no work at all to get on the road – and it can be yours for £4,995. Lots more photos on the listing page.

eBay watch: 1962 Fiat 500 D in ‘show room condition’

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fiat1

Yes, the new Fiat 500 models are nice enough, but they haven't quite got the character of the originals, of which this 1962 Fiat 500 D is a prime example.

Details from the seller (technical aside) are scarce, but photos are plentiful, including the one above and the interior shot above, which show off a car claimed to be in 'show room condition'. It's also said to have just 9,000 miles on the clock, 12 months MOT and the soft top.

Like I said, the photos do it more justice than words, so see them all at the site. Right now bids are at £3,100, although that figure has yet to match the reserve.

eBay watch: One-off Mini Roadster

Posted on | Leave a comment

Mini

Yes, we know (in the UK at least) that we have plunging temperatures and the threat of severe snow for the next week. But we still couldn't resist featuring this summer-friendly Mini Roadster.

It's said to be a one-off, starting life as a Mini Saloon before being converted to a Roadster, initially to promote the seller's business. Lots of money spent on it (see the listing for the exhaustive list), with that respray in metallic green completed just eight weeks ago.

The problem obviously is being able to find garage space for it when the weather's not great. If you've got that, it's on a Buy It Now for £1,799 or 'best offer'. I suspect it would command a much higher price if the sun was shining.

eBay watch: 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia

Posted on | 2 Comments

Karmann

It's a classic shape – and if you like the colours yellow and black, this Volkswagen Karmann Ghia might be for you.

Dating back to 1972, it's a right hand drive model, MOT'd until June 2011, with leather upholstery, original carpet and door panels having been 'renewed'. That colour, by the way is original, albeit resprayed back to its original colour. The 1600cc engine is said to work fine too.

Right now it's at £2,500. Not perfect for the current weather, but come the spring, you might just be glad you invested in it.

Batmobile

Yes, you really can live out your childhood (and possibly adult) fantasy by securing a replica Batmobile, able to drive around the streets and park at your local supermarket. If you can find a parking bay big enough.

It really is impressive, an officially licensed replica, based on the iconic 1966 car, with a brand new GM350 crate engine powering its fibreglass body along the road. All your driving essentials are here too, including gauges, push-button ignition and working lights. But what about the gadgets you ask? Yes, it's packed full of those too.

eBay watch: 1960s low mileage Volkswagen Beetle

Posted on | Leave a comment

Beetle

Fancy a vintage Beetle with all the hard work taken care of? If you opt for this 1960s Volkswagen Beetle, you get that and right now, for just £100.

It dates back to 1964 and has just 57,330 on the clock. Not only that, it's had plenty of work to get it back to its best – a new paint job, new bumpers and plenty of other cosmetic work too, by the look of the images on the site.

Sold with a 12-month MOT and plenty of service history plus old MOT certificates to show the legitimacy of the mileage, it's at that £100 price point right now. Sounds like a steal.
