Not sure how it passed the MOT with those cracked rear tyres, but it expires 3 Aug. 2017.

Currently £10,005 and still "reserve not met"!!

To be fair to the seller, he's had it MOT'd - so good luck to him. At the present amount bid (£10,005 with 33 bids and more than a day to go) it looks like he'll ring the bell on this!

Are you tempted, Ron, now you will have a little room on your drive (and money burning a hole in your pocket :P )

No balance issues with this Volkswagen V5, rather a nice engine actually.

i doubt its a genuine bid, but i'd genuinely give £2000 for it. i did make that offer to the last seller a few years back

as tragic as it is it needs to be restored & preserved as an example of 80's excess

Well, it reached £11,005 but reserve was not reached. So, it didn't sell and the guy is going to keep it and restore it himself!

Wait a minute, he's relisted it :shock:

................and read his revised description, it has......"BOSH Moronic electronic fuel injection system" :P

I could buy one of these last year in France, it was without the wheels but apart from that was complete. I checked it for around 2 hours and for me it was BEYOND saving unless you'd like to get rid of the body kit. This one looks exactly the same...
Shell bidding on this auction is a joke.

No, ended as in...............ended (it was only a 3-day auction).

Let's see if it emerges again soon. Since it didn't reach reserve last time at £11,005 I can't see him letting it go for barely half that sum, can you :-k

Ha ha! Failed to reach reserve again at £4500. Interesting to compare the bids made in the three most recent auctions - not that I'm saying anything.....................

So, will the seller try (yet) again, or restore it himself as he's been threatening to do :-k

The "Boomerang" is continuing to live up to its name!
