Goggomobil TS400

It’s not often Goggomobils come up for sale in the UK, and this one looks in good condition too. Fitted with the largest engine that was ever offered and the curious preselector gearbox, this is a curiosity that’s hard to beat.

LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER

1994, 156000 miles, £5750, Montpellier red, extremely good interior, good paintwork, no rust, runs very well, MoT June 19, daily driver, a small amount of work to get it back to where it needs to be 07902 454702, Reading

Range Rover

There’s nothing exceptional about this car, it’s just a decent value ticket into classic Range Rover ownership. Be sure the work needed isn’t rust, despite the claim otherwise, mechanical or interior work is what you want.

VAUXHALL VIVA

1974, 24433 miles, £3500, Garaged in a dry underground facility and regularly serviced. The bodywork and paint is in remarkable condition, and has cleaned-up nicely. Interior is equally good. 07948 620594, Oxford Vauxhall Viva HC If the mileage is genuine, this seems like a very collectable car, given its described condition. For a Vauxhall fan who can be satisfied with only driving this occasionally, this car is surely a keen investment.
