Yesterday this orange Carina deluxe wagon became for sale on Marktplaats and I wrote to the owner asking if I could put it on the blog since it is such an amazing treasure find!

Carina deluxe TA40 wagon
The owner is the second owner of the car since 2006 and bought it back then with only 124.000km on the odometer and today the Carina only covered 146000km so far!

The bodywork appears to be in excellent condition and that is mainly due to the anti rust treatment the first owner applied to the car.

I found another treasure on Marktplaats (Dutch Ebay): a JDM Nissan Cedric Y31 Brougham!

The car is powered by the 3 liter V6 VG30E, meaning it has 160hp and more importantly 247 N·m torque. Surely enough to move around this big green castle on wheels. ;)

The most beautiful element on this Cedric is by far the rabbit-ear-like fender mirrors. Very rare and certainly unique outside Japan:

Unlike what the title says they aren't exactly for sale at Ebay, but rather on its free of charge Dutch co-site called Marktplaats.

Over two years ago I found the worlds ugliest hubcaps on Marktplaats. I found another Corolla KE30 hubcap set for sale at Marktplaats:

Last time I did get a lot of emails from people who wanted them, but I was unable to get them because that set got sold. So if you really want them, be quick and I might be able to arrange them for you. :)

Then I also bumped into these rims, advertised as suitable for an AE86 . and had a big laugh about the picture:

A few weeks ago I placed this Datsun 240K GT, so my heart skipped another beat when I spotted this ad on Marktplaats (Dutch auction site) today:

Datsun 240K GT on Marktplaats
But immediately I spotted that it was actually a wanted ad and not a sales ad. Apparently ssaam, hf4ever, Sam and serdaraydintr did not spot it that difference easily...

BTW: I'll post the interesting example pictures from the ad later this week.

Fails are always funny, especially if they are about people selling stuff. This particular TA60 airbox filter hose was funny because of its pricing FAIL:

Maybe I can weasel another 10 euros off that price! :D
Nah, I'll just leave it... Don't need that part anyway... ;)
