1931 MG / Morris special - £9,750 - Unlike the vast majority of home built specials assembled from a kit of parts from various other donor models / cars - this one has been well thought out / built / executed & presents very well - more to the point its well under half the price of a period MG T series or a Austin 7 Nippy etc
1966 Hillman Huskey - Vary rare, very clean and if this is not a bargain I don't what is - I'd be surprised if its not already sold - vendor is asking £4k and its worth every penny

Jaguar XJ6. Hamps. £1K [ EDIT: Vendor must have had a lot of calls as he's hiked the original asking price by over £250 ]. 1995. Drives, long MOT. High mileage. MOT history suggests every expense has been spared as far as maintenance is concerned. It's a sub-£1K driving, MOT'd Jag! Most at this money are basket cases. Smoke around in it & break it or drive & improve it to get through next year's MOT. It's comfy & loaded, Mum will love getting a lift to Sainsbury's!

1980 Mini Clubman Estate - Nicely presented with what looks to be a low original mileage of just over 63,000 - MOT history is a little chequered on the advisories but would appear that everything has now been dealt with - main reason for highlighting this car is the price - At £6,599 ONO its excellent value for money - check the prices on others of similar quality & presentation and they are all in the £10k region

I'm going to stick this one here because it is interesting - its a replica of a 1939 Porsche UFO Type 64
Its based on a Beetle chassis & drive train - interesting in the fact someone has made a awful job of it - the lines & body gaps are abysmal - so much so that you can see the mismatched contours through the paint - especially on the rear of the car
Suzuki (SC100 GX) Whizzkid 'trailer Queen'. S Lanarks. £5½K Specs 1980. Low mileage. Out of MOT since 2013 but all clean passes before that. Looks a minter? There are 88 of theses on SORN in the UK and 13 on the road, little doubt this would be the best out there. Looking for something cult to pack your kid off to college in at the end of the summer? This would give them some seriously cool credentials. And 55+ mpg!!
And continuing in the 'mint' or 'vgc' low mileage vein;

Nice spot with with Suzuki - you couldn't even think about restoring one for that money - The Datsun has been advertised several times it started at £11k originally - The TR6 I think he's after £14k and has missed a naught on the price - still cheap at that money
Jaguar XJ6 (X300). Yorkshire. £495.00 [ !! SOLD !! ] 1997. Crusty old gal. MOT expired no real horror stories in MOT history, lots of clean passes and few miles in recent years. To drive and improve or break and treble your money.

It is ridiculous how cheap some of these Jags are. If you had the free use of a giant barn, you could create yourself quite a nest egg, by hoovering up these.

Now wouldn't that be fantastic, free use of a giant barn. Second only to free use of 2 giant barns! I had a car-hoarder acquaintance who was hiding cars from his missus all over the place. At one point he leased a disused cinema and had about 40 cars hidden there!
Allard J2X. Hamps. £35K 1951. 10 years out of MOT. Looks like it might benefit from some recommissioning / paint. Seems unfeasibly cheap for one of these?
