Re: Tales from the banger auction. 1980s style.
I bought a series 2 xj6 from Portsmouth car auctions for 300 quid, picked it up Friday lunchtime, went to the petrol station to fill up, put 11 gallons in the port tank, then started filling up the starboard one.

On the way home it broke its driveshaft, I replaced it and drove it to Rosyth from Andover where it promptly ftp at Lockerbie (drive shaft again) I then upgraded it to...
