Stupid But Affordable Cars That We Are Tempted To Buy

Urban myth - "Star of Arion" is where the name comes from

Thanks for the correction.......It would have been a great story if it was true though!

Urban myth - "Star of Arion" is where the name comes from

I once had a man in a purple rage when I pointed this out to him. He soon descended into the type of language and terms that would make a 70s comic think at least twice.

Possible bargain, I would say if you're willing to sort the niggles and recommission it.

I love a Merc but I’ve always thought Mercs from this era look a little ‘awkward’.

The engine though.

 

[DLax69]

Definitely. Lolz

...only every 3 years/10,000 miles...

Love that. Exactly my kind of car nowadays.

Was walking home last night from the train station and there's a yellow Focus RS estate on my route... is this crazy enough for this thread?

It would certainly be under the £20k and can be fast, great for trips abroad as you could get a few bottles in the boot.

You Max Power youngsters
That Merc is Super Cool and needs to be saved and used although I feel sorry for the previous owner.

See a few Diesel ones over here but very rare these days.
Certainly something different.

 

[safrane]

Doesn't look like Brentwood!

Drove a GTI a few years ago, it’s like a Merc W123 that actually likes corners.
Would love a Turbo Injection.

It's not, really. It's closer to Ongar.

This would be a money pit and a very stupid idea. I like it.

I've been looking at the Jaguar XKR X100 something that didn't really interest me until I put an engine in one for Ms French's uncle and having driven it a few times it's quite impressive.
I then found one on YouTube that they are converting to a manual and thought I really want to do that in my workshop.
