Seriously?

I have no idea about petrol in Eire, but for large parts of the UK (not soutwest) Esso premium (the 99 octane stuff) ships without added ethanol.

Smells like petrol used to smell.

The seller is trying another auction with a reserve, I wonder whether it will make it third time round?

Bidding on the Bolton supercar has reached 5 grand with a day to go (I've lost track, this is either the 3rd, 4th or 5th auction). The reserve still hasn't been met... I'll keep watching and see where it gets to.

Maybe you could pop me a message to start the conversation?
Thanks

Drop me a PM when they increase your post count. If I message you I don't think you can reply until your post count is up.

According to the vendor's spec the car has ABS; if it were a VERY late, US-spec example then yes it would have, but there's no sign of any ABS control module in the under-bonnet shots. Unless he means that it can be cadence-braked?

5 grand for a pretty mediocre non-historic registered VWW with 180,000 miles that needs a new clutch: I think the seller has been at the wacky baccy .

Ebay does a "pre-fill" thing and many of the things it adds as standard are based on USA specs, that said i know some 740s had the ABS ECU and modulator block mounted in the boot - perhaps they did the same for the 240?

Just when I thought the £12,500 Amazon VWW was a daft price, I come across this one at £21,000:

… and it isn’t even finished!

Some folk must have a great deal more money than sense .
