In other words Gareth found it was an unsellable shitter and sold it back for a huge loss waiting for the next mug.
If he got it for £10 it wasn't really a loss of any description

Looks way better in 'standard' spec.

But yeah, winning it for a tenner, having it for a while and then getting the cash alternative with low effort does seem fairly cake eaty.

If I win a raffle for an advertised* £70k prize and then find out it's only worth £20k I wouldn't consider that a win, I'd consider it fraud.

* I didn't see a cash value on the new one, the original one may not have made such a claim.

It was Potter who said they're about £70k, not the raffle.

Plus you'd be a properly grumpy graspy git to have such an attitude anyway ;)

Audi R8 V10 for 35p if yer lucky! :D A bloke round our way has one of these and it sounds absolutely gorgeous! :thumbup:

Win this Audi R8 V10 Plus for just 35p!

BE QUICK… This is the cheapest tickets we’ve ever done on a supercar! This stunning R8 V10 Plus will be finding a new home on Sunday and for JUST 35p it could be you that we call with the good news!

Pumping out north of 600bhp, this naturally aspirated V10 monster sounds phenomenal and thanks to that Quattro 4WD system this beauty allows effortless delivery of all that power and holds the road like it’s on rails.

The R8 V10 Plus is a beast straight from the factory but the previous owner has added some carefully selected extras to perfect this masterpiece. CT Carbon rear diffuser, full upgraded aero kit, Carbon Ceramic brakes, and of course that insane Purple Innozetek wrap which makes this one of the most unique looking R8’s out there!

Once again, this is the cheapest tickets we’ve ever done to win a supercar, plus we’re also offering the option of a life-changing £60,000 cash alternative so we don’t expect these tickets to stick around for long. If you want a chance to own the perfect daily driver supercar for just 35p then you’ll need to be quick.

Good luck!

R8s have a terrible reputation on the auto boxes. Reverse gently...

I totally agree about the colour of the Aston, "frosted glass blue" apparently! WTF came up with that. :wtf:

Gotta disagree about Ferraris though, black Ferraris are epic! 8-)

:wub: Dont think I could ride it butmight risk 69p to (hopefully) find out! :D


The KTM 1290 Super Duke has earned the nickname "The BEAST" for very good reason. Being a super-naked with a huge 1301cc engine strapped to the frame, you can see where the name comes from.
The 1301cc V-Twin cylinder engine produces just under 180bhp and just over 140nm of torque, incredibly impressive figures for a road bike.
To assist in controlling the 1290, it comes fitted with variable driving modes, active wheelie-control and an ABS system. To compliment the mind-bogling technical systems, the KTM has a full HD dash display, which includes "KTM My Ride" connectivity.

We're giving you the chance to own this 1290 Super Duke for as little as 69p! Grab tickets while you can!

1981 AUSTIN VANDEN PLAS
Enter for £6.00

On September 17, 1974, the Vanden Plas 1500, based on the Austin Allegro, was released as the successor to the Princess 1300. It was equipped with British Leyland’s ‘E’ series 1485cc overhead camshaft engine, and had a single SU HS6 carburettor, producing 68bhp at 5500rpm.

Unlike the Princess 11/1300s, the Mark 1 model did not include the picnic tables on the back of the front seats, and it had slightly less rear legroom compared to its predecessor. However, it featured highly polished burr walnut on the uniquely designed fascia and door cards. The seats were upholstered in leather, with bound Wilton carpets over additional sound deadening covering the floor, and the cabin roof was trimmed in nylon cloth. A total of 3,640 Mark 1s were produced before the Mark 2 model was launched in October 1975.

The Mark 2 Vanden Plas 1500 had revised suspension settings, offering a much-improved ride, while the engine and transmission remained unchanged. Inside, the rear seats were adjusted and moved back to provide more legroom, and due to customer demand, picnic tables were added as a standard feature to the rear of the front seats. A total of 7,318 Mark 2s were produced before the introduction of the Mark 3 model in October 1979.

The Mark 3 models (like this one) underwent slight name changes. The manual transmission version retained the 1485cc engine but was now fitted with twin SU type H1F4 carburettors, increasing the power output to 77bhp at 5750rpm. This version was named the Vanden Plas 1.5.

Externally, the Mark 3 cars featured a flat boot lid, black surrounds for the front and rear windscreens, black door mirrors, and side indicator repeaters on each front wing. Internally, a radio and front seat headrests became standard features, and the interior door handles were changed from chrome to black.

The Vanden Plas factory at Kingsbury closed in July 1979, with all remaining cars finished at MG Abingdon. Production of the Mark 3 ended in August 1980, with a total production run of 752 manual and 232 automatic models.

Our 1981 Vanden Plas is one of those 752 manual models. It was actually built at the Austin factory at Longbridge before being finished and Trimmed at MG Abingdon. Originally leaving the factory finished in Silver Grey Metallic, it was repainted in the late 1980s in Rover Cashmere Gold over Vanden Plas Tan trim.

Since being in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, it has undergone some paint repairs as well as having a new water pump fitted.
