A much more agreeable one with 8k miles. No leather though

And a rather chunky price!

Great, a car you can’t drive,

And why no interior shots? How bad is it on the inside?

What a fucking waste. Car crime.

And who TF put a hammer-on wheel weight there?

Probably the factory in 1990, the tyres look original!

Yep, probably the originals!

Regardless of your love/hate for the MG Montego 2.0 EFi (on steels with trims) - how clean is this?

NOT a can-never-be-driven zero miles garage queen - this is a 49k mile car.

Fully working ready to run f1 car- 1998 v10 minardi

Fabulously cool, but F1 cars need F1 levels of maintenance to keep it running.

I wonder if it was owned by the same company that the chap on Pistonheada works for. Reading between the lines of the advert it seems that the engine is towards the end of its life and it really needs a Judd V10 which is maybe why it’s up for sale.

I wondered that as well - the Poppopbangbang inter-galactic 996 chap. They did have a Minardi

I mean, it's a bad idea. But is it a really bad idea?

Depends how handy on the spanners.

Chassis corrosion would concern me.0

If chassis and everything looks ok, drive it until it goes pop, fit ls v8

@Nefarious might be able to advise on that. On a run we went through a small town centre somewhere - me following about 20m behind his Cerb. it was like a constant Mexican wave of heads turning as they caught a glimpse, or heard the machine-gunfire from the exhausts. Went pretty well too.

Depends where the auction ends - if it was £8.8k I'd say it was a very good idea, but reserve hasn't been met and it'll probably still be £15-20k+. That would be a bad idea for a tatty car that probably needs another £10k spent.

It looks like it has been painted with some kind of “silk” sheen paint.

Spanners, average. Welding, engine rebuilds etal.... no.

These are the kind of stupid evonomics that occur after looking at an empty car space for six months and you're a week away from an invoice being paid in.
