  1. I was one of those people - I'd ordered one on a company car scheme a few months earlier, and in the meantime the C had lost the proper rear bumper for that shit bit of steel, presumably to save 50p. I was most unimpressed when I spotted it in the car park, thought it had been damaged.
  2. That looks great! I'm a big fan of this era Benz, clean fuss-free styling.
  3. Mine has just arrived, many thanks! My wife thought it was porn... she was right.
  4. I had a shit-brown one. I have had (many) worse cars but the Allegro beat them all for the sense of total misery it instilled in me. I'm still a bit sore I wasted 9 months of my young life driving that fucker.
  5. It's probably hard for younger readers of this forum to imagine a time when Austin Allegros would be used openly on the road, without shame and with no regard for decency; this picture must date from the early 80's and like paedophile music teachers, it was just accepted back then as a necessary evil. Grim times.
  6. Agreed.. on Dunlop Denovos. I would also like to point out that Kim Wilde is my girlfriend, and has been since 1981, so KEEP OFF.
  7. First time I've been, and it was disappointing - relatively few traders, fewer still punters. Beaulieu is also on though, maybe it's all gone there.
  8. Saw this at Netley autojumble (which was pretty poorly attended), this morning: Fantic Koala, the novelty factor was STRONG. Apparently only 50cc but it's much bigger than the photo suggests. I didn't ask about the price in case I did something stupid.
  9. Couple of pics from Sammy Miller's museum today, an AJS/Matchless meeting was going on. I've got a hankering for an old 50s/60s oily-rag bike I can tinker with and slowly improve, thinking about maybe a Bantam as parts are easy to find?
  10. Goodness me, I like that a lot. Good MOT history too, strong price though.
  11. I've had covid the past week. It's not great but still preferable to changing a cambelt on most FWD cars. Being incapacitated in front of the Great!Romance TV channel was the lowest point.
  12. Here is my quick guide to Mazda MX5s: NA: great, like Abba NB: Abba song, but sung by Steps NC: Abba song, sung by Piers Brosnan
