Newish week, new batch of interesting 25+ year old cars offered on Ebay Germany. First two 1970s RWD coupes from the 1980s, built by American companies in Europe. The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The (rough) Opel is at €1810 with no reserve, the (restored) Capri €3343 with the reserve not met.

Looking for a classy vehicle for camping? Look no further! This first owner !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is the perfect vehicle for you! It does look like a flat bed truck with a caravan on top. €3010, reserve not met.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

If that Mercedes isn’t versatile enough, there’s always the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (double cabine pickup truck). North-Swedish import, which explains the relative, for a T3, lack of rust damage. €2500, no reserve.

Very nice condition base model 1990 !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I know some here love these. Manual windows, manual transmission, manual seats, cassette storage slots between the front seats. €3250 BIN.

Talking about large red German vehicles, here’s a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! former fire truck from former Eastern Germany. Said to run and drive just fine, it’s got temp plates from 02-2015 in the pictures. €1210, reserve not met.

While we’re at the subject of commie trucks, a seller offers a batch of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in a variable state of disrepair. €3400, no bids.

Going back West there’s this 1963 !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . One family car, unrestored yet great condition. €3333 BIN.

Another French car is this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It’s rather poorly presented, unloved and I doubt it’ll reach 4 figures. The 605 is a striking yet conservatively styled superb highway cruiser.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Completing the holy trifecta of mainstream French brands, here’s a rough but fully drivable 1988 Citroën CX 25 GTi. Daily driven until April this year. Comes with a parts car from 1981, so the pre-facelift model.

Sticking to Mediterranean classics there’s the much loved !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It’s in need of some serious rust repair, new wheels, new springs and preferably a new drive train as well. But it’s a Lancia Delta none the less! €12, no reserve.

If the rust holes weight reduction of the Lancia doesn’t provide enough wind in your hair, try this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , one of the last of the mk4 Escorts. It might only have a RS2000 look , but who cares anyway. It’s a compact/FWD version of the Fox-body Ford Mustang! With a claimed 150 or so hp and 1000 kg in weight it won’t be slow, for the era. €3400, no bids nor reserve.

Being back in Germany, an Audi 50 is offered. A !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , but when was the last time you saw an Audi 50? I certainly can’t remember. €3400 BIN.

Land Rovers seem to grab lots of attention, so I’m ending with a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . €1265, reserve not met.

Did you see any of the 24H ‘ring Manta? The want is strong.

Also Audi 50.

I don’t think any of the W124s sold in the US had the more spartan A/C controls of this nature - and it’s a shame because the climate system they did have is prone to failure.

On a 200 TE? Only if it has been installed afterwards.

The Robur truck appears to have a four-cylinder Deutz diesel. I wonder what it had originally? Given that the Barkas had the three-cylinder from a Trabant, I can’t begin to imagine. The Rover, like a lot of Series IIIs, does not have locking hubs on the front axle. It *does* appear to have a late-model fresh air heater.

I though the dog leg was a w124 thing

These are cute, but sadly I don’t have space for eight of them. Or even one, truth be told.

My parents bough one of these when they were studying in France. My dad bough it at night, without driving it. It was orange and the gear lever came off when they were driving to Italy.

It’s a 190E Cosworth thing.

Thats what I wanna hear! strange that they would have a totally different shift pattern, usually manufactures just change the gear ratios, and some other internals.

The 190E Cosworths (190E 2.3-16v & 190E-2.5-16v) were homolgation cars for DTM.

Mercedes wanted the dog-leg gearbox for racing—you don’t really use 1st much in racing—and the dog-leg box puts gears 2-5 in an H-pattern making it easier to shift among the more commonly used gears.

They had to put the same transmission in the road cars to make it legal to race in DTM.

AC? Do you expect this to have AC? It’s got a heater and some fans.

I mistook what I was seeing for a system like the one present in some W123s - A/C, but with no managed electronic control. I assume such a system made it to the W124, though, if models were offered with no A/C whatsoever...

Sorry, I meant Wartburg, not Trabant.

Yea, I’m familiar with the benefits. I wish there was a way to change the pattern on my car..

Ferrero1911 and I saw this Audi 50 a few months ago....totally mint. And it was in the US! That one is tempting...I know they’re rare, but the price still seems high for the condition.
