I would have thought that the last zero was a mistake, but its hard to make the same typo twice... anyone else seen dreaming of this nature when it comes to value?

If you're going to all that trouble you'd start with a Cossie or an XR at least surely.

I'm sure someone on here found a Sierra 2000E with about 6 miles on it and a factory smell that a dealer wanted 7k for :crazy: . I'm sure 7k buys you an awful lot of three door big spoileredness.

Also for €7000 I would like to see matching wheel trims... if it sells for that, I want to meet the buyer, as I have some magic beans they might be interested in...

You could get a half decent Sierra with a built 5-litre V8 for that money... :crazy:

when it says sierra luxury model maybe it means the engine is gold plated or the carpet is made from a thousand dead bunnies lovingly stiched together

That is awesome! If I have 7000 in the bank I'd be torn between that and an R32 GTR...

The 935 is the only 911 I like and this....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORSCHE-911-3 ... 83&afsrc=1

...is an abomination. At first glance I thought it was a Covin kitted Beetle but someone has actually done that to a Porsche! :crazy:

Three times the sum of the parts price and Fiat Coupe headlights. :roll:

Got to be a contender in this thread.

Las time I checked they didn't race convertible Porkers so why does it need the bottom half of the roll cage. If I that kind of money spare I'd quite happily break it just so nobody else has to look at it. Arrrggghhh. Its like that horrible blue and yellow panamera from that blind german tuning outfit.

What annoys me is that there is obvious effort, time, money and talent put into it, but any sign of taste was lost along the way...

I got to say, I saw that roll cage and my first thought was, what happens if yo flip the car? Where's the protection?

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
