I think I found the motherlode for used vehicle deals, at least if you live in the UK: mod-sales.com. Where else can you pick up a used armed personnel carrier for less than 5000 pounds?

edit: Top Gear really should design a challenge around the stuff you can get from that company.

Ha. Collector's item. I have parts for CL350s laying all over my garage and know at least two other people with one complete and one parts bike. They're not the most common bike, but it most certainly isn't rare by any means.

He'd probably get $800 out of it if it doesn't run, maybe $1500 if it does, $2k if it just had a tune up and purrs like a kitten (doubt it).

It is pretty, though.

Sample:

OK I HAVE A 1987 SINGLE TURBO SUPRA FOR SALE OR TRADE, IT A 5 SPEED AND A TARGA TOP. I GOT THE CAR TUNED AND ALSO HAVE TWO SETTINGS INSTALLED IN MY BOOST CONTROLER, THE FIRST SETTING IS SET TO MAKE 453HP ON 15 POUNDS OF BOOST, THE SECOND SETTING IS SET TO MAKE 493HP ON 20 POUNDS OF BOOST. NOW THE FIRST SETTING WITH 453HP IS PLENTY POWERFULL ENOUGH, WITH THIS SETTING THE CAR DOES NOT GET TRACTION TILL AFTER 50 MPH. SO I HAVE NO NEED FOR THE SECOND TUNE, BUT ITS STILL INSTALLED IF YOU WANT TO USE IT, THE CAR RUNS AMAZING A COUPLE THINGS NEED ADDRESSED SUCH AS IT DOES NOT HAVE A BACK SEAT OR HEAT. WHEN IT DOES GET WARMER OUT I WILL BE FIXING THIS AND THE PRICE WILL GO UP. OTHER THAN THAT THE CAR RIDES SMOOTH HANDLES AMAZING AND ENGINE RUNS PERFECT WITH ZERO ISSUES.

Hey, I am selling my sick 2001 Mazda Protege 5spd. I can get 80 mph in second gear. Blows away any Sentra,Corolla,Elantra. It has towed my 86 Kawasaki Jet Ski 440,that I ride like you can't believe. It has 190k with the original clutch, and I still can bang a mean hole shot! I am losing my license so I would like to see it go to a good home. Has a few dings, and I am covering up the rear bumper that has two minor holes with the latest Lady GaGa bumper sticker. If you buy I will party with you at Hampton Beach on me! I am desperate to get rid of this. Please call me 24/7 and ask for Tim, no e-mails cause I will not respond. I borrowed my buddies computer to place this. Again only serious buyers, I am sentimental,and emotionally attached to this car. The stories I could tell most people wouldn't believe.If the Mazda is rockin don't coma knockin!

I also have the factory 13 inch steel style wheels that will go with the car. The AC is hooked up and converted so all it needs now is vacuumed and charged.

Just gotta reach back to the post to emphatically state that these photos are not authentic.

You'll see there are two photos showing the pedal cluster in that craigslist ad. The photo on the right, takeen at a wider angle, clearly shows that there is no gas pedal at the right by the door sill. The leftmost pedal is the gas pedal, not a dead pedal. These photos have clearly been flipped to make it appear RHD.

Just wanted to get that out there because you're otherwise right-on the other 99.99% of the time.

I just assumed the 'hazard' of that ad was that the car wasn't a runner, which was never stated or implied by the ad.

e: Going by this pic of an LHD example:
http://custom.netcarshow.com/Lamborghini/1972-Urraco/04.htm
The turn signal stalk is on the mirrored side of the wheel in the ad. Stalk controls aren't flipped between markets, are they?
The gas pedal seems floor hinged and smaller, while you can also make out a dead pedal on the left. Compare to a sharper pic of the CL ad's:

What's funny is that the picture you provided of a LHD model is actually a RHD that's been mirrored. If you crop and create wallpaper on your link, you can see the numbers on the speedo are backwards. Also, using your second link you can just barely make out a gas pedal in the very corner. Also the speedo and tach needles are in the appropriate place (lower left so as to turn clockwise).


Edit: The pics in the original CL ad are authentic, sorry.
