Felly Magic Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Well we know there is the Holy Ace Of bASe grey grille, what other base models are in the autoshite family? Our mk3 Mondy is in the lowest spec, but it's loaded with kit so it clearly isn't buttery at all. FOAD has a bASe Lada Riva as only 1 trim was available then, and captain 70s has just bought a bASe Honumph Acclade too, so over to you bASe shiters to check in Datsuncog, mr wong, timolloyd and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I've got a Tempra S 1.9D. All round manual windows. Dials non illuminated. Has a manual pump adjustment plunger for reducing 'opaque emissions'. Never seen one before. Massive storage hole in dashboard which would be filled in higher spec cars. It's nothing compared to some of the others but it's someone brassic bought that new.

Ian_Fearn Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Whilst I don't own one, to me.... This is the ultimate in bASe. A BX with 'small' wheel trims, no front headrests, ideally in BX11 spec. The rear badge must just say 'BX'. There was a rumour that a BX10 was available in the Italian market but i've never had this confirmed.

danthecapriman Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 My 74 Capri base. It’s basically a Capri with no extras whatsoever! Not even a radio!It’s also registered on the V5 as ‘Capri Base’.

Felly Magic Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Just had a thought, what would happen if all the Shite bASe Massive met? Would it cause a gravitational implosion? Or would there be a massive yoghurt truck crash in the area? Laseraligningfoofooflanges, Uncle Jimmy and Slartibartfast 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The ex Krujoe 106d is a Graduate model. I don't know if that was the base model but it should be, it didn't even have a lighter or intermittent wipers. It does have a sunroof which appears to be a dealer/importer fit type thing.

danthecapriman Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Early mk2 Capris had wing mounted mirrors IIRC too, your Capri is seriously lickable DanSome did, but there was also a tiny handful that got a unique type of door mirror. Only fitted to the Capri mk2 from start of production in Jan 74 up to Nov 74. Mine should have one of these mirrors on the drivers side only. It’s missing though sadly, having been replaced by standard mk2 mirrors instead.The correct ones are very hard to find now but are similar to mk1 Capri door mirrors.

Split_Pin Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I have a base Corsa Envoy ( although there isn't much left of the original spec!) And the Megane is also the entry level Authentique model. Neither of which are or were, in my opinion, austere enough to qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 EX was the entry level for the Nippa. By 2001, that got you a rear wiper, as well as the digital clock. No PAS, no electric windows or mirrors, no central locking (other than that you can easily reach every door from the driver's seat). Easily the most simple car you could buy in 2001.

Tamworthbay Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Another base Capri here, a 1.6l on a Y plate, but wearing the decadance of Ford imperial red metallic and head rests (as the L was being retired) but still the pez spec tray instead of a centre console.

rantingYoof Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I am on the lookout for a Vauxhall Omega 2.0 8v Select, some of which I believe had all-round manual windows. I would genuinely lick one. Uncle Jimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 While my mk1 Fiesta is a popular plus as it's an 83 that might have been the bottom. If there a scan of the brochure/price list? Might be the same for the 89 mk2 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 There was still the Pop on launch iirc. No headersts, no clock, no rear wiper and only driver side mirror or rear parcel shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey spud Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 According to wikipedia (so it must be true) my Saab 900i 2 door saloon is the base spec car of the range. It has wind up windows,no sunroof,air con or abs and still has the older eight valve engine fitted.It came to me with and was originally fitted with pressed steel wheels with stainless trims too. Prices lists from when it was new also put this spec at the bottom of the pile. Uncle Jimmy, mr wong, danthecapriman and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 To be fair, everything I've ever driven back to 60s stuff has had some sort of light in the speedo, otherwise how would you know how fast you're going at night? That does sound broken - and not everything has a dimmer. Do they actually check them at MOT though? They're sometimes quite hard to make out in the daytime!

bramz7 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 To be fair I wouldn't be surprised if it was broken. The indicators on the wings don't work either.... Oh my AX is also a base model. The Debut was the replacement for the slightly uninspired sounding 10E. Manual choke on a K plate, no electric anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
