This is disturbingly tempting! It might take a bit of explaining to dear wife though. Still, I could always live in the garage to escape the flak.

You will be surprised that I think it will actually sell although it might not reach the figure the owner has in mind, once it creeps onto Facebook market place it will sell.

If the ad was to be rewritten keeping it factual and to the point, not going on about how poor autos are, and talking about parts that you think it may have and concentrate on what it does have AND if you were able to put a standard grill and steering wheel etc back on it, it would not on the face of things look like a bad car.

The ad and some of the mods are what make it less appealing to some people.

The car is far from being concourse but on the other hand its not trying to be. It's a modified thrash mobile on the face of it and that's what it will end up being sold for unfortunately.

Shame that's no longer a thing but the advent of factory barried cars saw a decline in custom barry chariots.

Pointless offset number plate, debadged/blank front grille, bodged splitter, wife beater 'black eye' light trim, rear wiper delete, all the hallmarks of a.. barrybrick!

Well indeed it is.

When I looked previously the listing was showing as "removed by seller as no longer available". I was SO disappointed!!!! LOL.
