pompei Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 A hundred years ago when I got my first mortgage I sold my 127 Sport and bought a push bike and a beat - up Corolla coupe. (JAT 64 N) It had been painted in two tone green and yelow with a matt black Starsky and Hutch stripe. I had to replace the driver's seat with something from a limo, which meant I sat too high. The bonnet skin came detached at 70 mph on the M1, which was not good for the aforesaid seat. I fixed it with a couple of cupboard handles screwed to the bonnet and elasticated ties onto the bumper. I once had four punctures in a week whilst on holiday with my then (v understanding ) girlfriend. Ah, happy days. Somewhere there is a picture of it , but I don't know where. I've never seen one before or since. Anyone here got any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompei Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 That looks the one! Though mine was horrible with the bottom half of the body in grass green, the rest in yellow and the black S&K flash. The rear lights were different to that red one's, and the front looked very 120Y- ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Look what I found in Chiang Mai yesterday! Hadn't noticed any of these here before, but E20, E30, E40, E50 and E70 models aren't rare. I'll stick some more angles on my thread later. I suspect it might make "Catch of the Day"... (I won't start telling you about the turquoise one with the snorty 'zorst that we followed on the ring-road in the evening, you wouldn't believe me.)

michiel Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Looks pretty solid, and excellent wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 ' DOH!I didn't remember, and none of you clocked it: I posted this one a week or two back. I asked the owner of this if I could get a snap in Tesco's car park, and I complimented him on how smart it was looking. (That bumper looks a bit big, though.)So all three that I've seen are in really good shape. Haven't found one in green and yellow yet...
