Much as I thought, this middling VWW didn’t get even an opening bid at £3,800:

… why would anyone think their middling, 30 year old motor car with 100,000 miles and a few faults might be worth nearly 4 grand I wonder?

This is another ‘best example of a 240 in the country’ - we must have seen at least a dozen of those:

If it is a fair auction it probably won’t get much past 6 grand, if it isn’t we’ll see it again next week.

If one discounts the money saving element of 40 + year old cars, which I tend to, to a degree, I think I’d rather pay £6k for this VWW than the Barge Alan.

It’s just a better car!

Wonderful Bob, oh yes, I'm sure Alan will disapprove, but everyone is entitled to waste/invest their money as they see fit I suppose.

I expect going that fast, doesn't come cheap.....

Rather fetching Amazon on here for sale from a fellow member, looks a good honest car, reasonably priced??

Perfect for the Grand Prix out of Morrisons car park - 7.09s and 204mph in 1/4 mile should see off those shopping cars!

Bit tricky in the Mc drive-thru though I'll wager!
