Pet peeve is that they cover the true number plate, surely a trader must be aware a buyer of a £12k, 34 year old Volvo is going to want to check MOT history???

Agreed!

My pet peeve is the name of the garage, QUALITY, is that GOOD or POOR, quality.

They don’t say!🤷*🤷*🤷*🤷*🤷

This auction seems to be progressing very slowly indeed:

... the BSBS must be on summer hols, it is only at £3,800 this time round.

I'm coming to think the market is down a bit for non-historic oldish 240s.

one of the Landrover fraternity .
Incidentally ,the seller of the VWW Steve is looking at....
I had a look on street view(using the post code) and there is a gaggle(is that the collective noun?) of Landrovers parked round back.

You've started somethng there Bob - a global debate on the collective noun for Land Rovers!

I'd suggest parliament or clowder although gaggle is also a good one.........

That seems much too expensive for a pretty tatty VWW. I'd say the Barge was better in every way (and also registered as an historic vehicle), so the Fort William one should be something under 5 grand.

Just the musings of a middle aged man with a beard and a dog called Bob.
