Spottedlaurel Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Lady Wulfrun has some excellent pictures in her collection. I've found the best pictures for old street scenes (and hopefully cars) is in the bus-spotters' uploads. Look at this Mazda! Celica!! Crown saloon!!! Some interesting approaches to this junction.

Station Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'm on a local website which is great for this type of thing, people scan in their photos from 'yesteryear'. Some don't feature cars, but everthing about the pics is different ten years later. Most of these are 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 All those different shaped, different coloured cars certainly made the roads look more 'colourful' than the silver nonsense of today. There's not a single vivid yellow/red/blue car in my road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The salesman told us if we chose red, we'd get a lower price for it when we sold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Not SilverNiceNot expensiveAnd sadly too late!I was looking for a micra like that but a 1.3 or 1.4 but they are like rocking horse poo.Ended up spending far too much money on a 2004 Micra with one of them Renault 1.5 dci diesel engines. Lovely car apart from the thick black smoke that comes out the back when the revs are building up before the turbo cuts in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
