Timewaster Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 A thread for all those cars that quietly disappear one by one until you realise that you haven't seen one for ages. To get started, when did you last see a MK1 Vauxhall Tigra? I really liked them, funky styling and cool wrap around rear window but marred by porridge Corsa underpinnings. Then the Puma blew it out of the water. Remember the ads with Harry Enfield voice over? "People who fold their Jim jams - they won't like this at all." "The Tigra from Vauxhall. Fun, if you like that sort of thing". ProgRocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitsisigma01 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 A 1990's Sigma, coz I never have , 70's ones seem quite common but 90's ones never ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 A really clean-looking Vauxhall Chevette caught my eye in the background of the last Prime Suspect I watched. Filmed in 1995 and they were still everywhere then, totally disappeared (dissolved?) by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Audi Coupe. The dumpy one between the quattro-shape and the TT. Are they all hiding in barns awaiting their moment or did they get scrapped because they were so dull to drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burraston2006 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Jag XJ series 3 or an XJ40. They were everywhere and you could pick them up for less than a bag. Decent ones are on the shelf next to the rocking horse poo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Ford Escort mk5 on. There must be more of the earlier models running around now than later ones. I’ve not seen one in ages. Possibly no bad thing!? Brodders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayMK Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hyundai Sonata, mid 1990s type. I had one in 1992 and another in 1996ish. They were never common, but I used to see the odd one until about 2008, then they all vanished. Brodders and Sheefag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Corollas like Pandas type were still fairly plentiful 6-7 years ago. They were so well built, but unvalued street furniture. Unusual sight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvinsMom Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 fat arsed renner migraines. and leguna's, though i think the remaining early versions of these are now within the AS fold. mark 1 ford focus and mark 1 mondeo's. ALL vectra's and omega's. shame as the omega was a FINE automobile, just hampered by having the "wrong" badge stuck on it michael t, Brodders, Bradders59 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
