The thread for mutilated, derelict, chopped-about, generally un-loved or just sad-looking old cars on ebay (or elsewhere).

A sad Mk10 Jaguar:

I wonder where the bidding woud be if it was a straight Mk 10? Certainly a lot more than has been squandered turning it into the unfinished freak that it is!

Very probably Rick. I'm wondering who would want a body only, especially one with so much missing/in poor condition.

in order; my take on these vehicles varies...
the jag is an abomination. that said, i've seen one locally that went into the ground for lack of interested parties...
the fiat would certainly be welcome in my drive... i can repaint it.
the halfling morford is another abomination....
but that Riley..... i'd certainly be happy to take it over, and find a suitable powertrain for it.

"Just because you CAN, does not imply that you SHOULD."

psychological examinations are in order for some "builders"....

plenty of US E-bay ads fit the bill for "Are you SERIOUS?".

The fact that (one assumes) he didn't cover the tyres before spraying, speaks volumes about the quality of any work he did on the car... or perhaps he wanted them that colour.
