I can't remember when I've enjoyed reading a sale ad as much as I just did.

It painted a wonderful picture of misguided hope, tradgity, dispare, and the attempt at prolonging the enevitable. The Junk yard!

The front floors, both sills, most of the exterior front bodywork, and the left doorpost are all shot; the inner front fenders and box sections have taken a similar stroll across the periodic table, as have the lower parts of all four outer fenders.

"The first few dozen of these overheating, pig-handling, self-immolating rustbuckets came with Vignale-built bodies of such staggeringly poor quality that the ENGLISH wouldn't accept them, "

"this British-built version was apparently made from an alloy of salt, wet newspapers, and tuna cans."

The best part is...the thing actually sold!

Definitely the best description I've seen in a long time. I gave a printout of the page to someone at work. He was in tears by the time he finished reading it.
