Tayne Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 It's a Greeves trialler of some kind; they were the only company who made cast alloy frames like that. Thanks, looking more closely I can make out the same Greeves logo on the tank as the Greeves Challenger. I can also see that this one has a Villiers engine.

Supernaut Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I don't know where it came from, I got rather put off it when SoupOrNowt (wrongly) convinced me they were all automatics. I said to prove me wrong... So, does that mean that some of them are manual?! Ace. Every single one I've seen so far has been an auto. EDIT: Yup, I stand corrected! Look at that glorious gear stick and all three pedals. I want one again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayne Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Czech plated W124, does the lack of roundels on the numberplate mean that its Czech tax and mot has expired? This has been sitting outside the garage near my work for at least 6 months... This was in the same garage, I've never seen it before.Its averaged a thousand miles between Mots since 2006 and failed a month ago, I'm not sure if its been tickled with the mig in the mean time or is awaiting the scrap man. The sticker in the back is for a local car sales garage, I&K Motors, which shows a 5 digit local number (I think its been 6 digits since 1990?).The Metro is an '87 and I&K have been on the go since 1983, has this car been in the same hands for over 28 years?

Tayne Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Nothing too exciting to report today, I saw a Merc 609 fire engine at Frankfurt airport and a few Renault Fluence taxis at Budapest airport.There’s seems to be lots of small two door saloons here, think I saw a 2 door Seat Córdoba.
