The ebay thread

[16vCento]

Been looking at buying a bumped id3/4 or equivalent Skoda to play with.

Seemingly loads out there advertised as requiring a new traction battery, but all they need is the pyro fuses replacing in the battery pack, all bits are available from VW, just needs the pack dropping for access.

Been looking at the best way to lift the car on the drive without getting a 2 post ramp.

Only one on eBay, but a few at Copart now.

Swap paperwork and make several grand.

T'was ever thus in Fordworld.

There’s one which comes to our local retro car meets and is a great replica. Only letdown is it sounds like a v8 and has a very weird / unusual / homemade looking bit at the back under the exhaust.

Started off as a Renault 30 apparently, so that'll likely be a breathless 2.7 V6 pushing a whopping 150bhp-ish then.....

Found a different link. 150 was…… optimistic

Powered by its original 2664cc V6 engine producing circa 126bhp and 150ft.lbs of torque mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox

Oh. Oh dear.

There was a fake Bugatti for sale at Goodwood - I think it was this one. It looked laughably bad in the flesh and I almost pissed myself when I saw the price and then the manager/owner of the dealer gave a hate filled stare.

All the cars they had for sale were crap replicas, most of them piss poor fibreglass GT40s…

£150k!

[Mito Man]

Googling the plate it's a steal, it was up for £240,000 4 months ago...

[DeskJockey]

For that kind of money do you want to be the one explaining you spent *that* much on a fake car when people ask?

[Beany]

I mean, if you want something with a twin turbot Audi engine, just buy an R8 V10 and get someone to fit turbots on it.

Pretty sure you could throw a pair of snails on that for, well, I don't know how much it costs to push air into an R8 V10, but I'm sure you'd have change from a badly put together Veyron clone.

Not that people interested in actually fast cars would be looking at that. It'd be people like my former employers CEO, desperate to look more affluent than they actually are.

[Mito Man]

I'm guessing the replica builder ideally wanted a W16 with 4 turbos but didn't have the budget for it and bought the cheapest VAG based mid engine car they could find. And ruined it.

[nuttinnew]

^ It isn't R8 based; tiptronic 'box and 4.2 TT = C5 RS6. Look at the dash/clocks/stalks/steering wheel/etc in this pic; https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1594552#&gid=1&pid=10
What's the betting it's still front engined?


Of course, you could always go for something more legit;

[Jobbo]

I don’t see how it could have a 21 plate if it was a re-panelled C5 RS6; those donor interior parts and engine wouldn’t prevent an otherwise new car having a new reg though. The proportions also look wrong for it to be front engined.

It's presumably just a tube chassis kit car with Audi engine

Legit ? Keighley Trade Centre ? Pull the other one

It is, I’m pretty sure the ad posted the other day said so.

Bespoke tube chassis and probably a crashed rs6 donated some oily bits.
