I need bits! Whole cars too if I like the spec/colour

Well, it’s scheduled to commence at about 4pm today…..
No idea what model of locomotive will occur. Poo count likely to be minimal.
Found a breaker of Loopoo cars in Crewe if needed at any point for bits.
Hope it passes the large feet/pedals interaction test…

they were good fun to drive, Low grip at the rear, direct steering and a brilliant gear shift.  They also have a Motorsport heritage too which makes them cool
Yes the Ford Tax is a joke and they are not worth the money for sure but I don't think they are any shitter compared to any mid 70s mass market B car and better than a lot
Disclaimer: May be rose tinted spectacles as it was my first car 

Being Essex boys, me and my mates have had dozens of these and the other RWD Ford favourites.
At one point three of us were running around in silver 4 door Ghias, two of which were mine at one point. My main one was a 1.6 auto (on the left), the other two were 1300s, one very tidy one that my mate bought back from the guy who bought it from his mum when we were kids, and a shabbier midnight blue one - thanks to a 4th Ghia bought as a donor, all the panels were swapped over and the rest of the car rattle canned to match (the one on the right)

Several times we took all three out for a cruise and a slide around the lanes, the old bill didn't seem as impressed as we were.
All these cars were cheap, my auto was £150, not sure on the midnight blue one but probably similar. Donor Ghia was £50 and didn't deserve to be parted out but I didn't do it.
The then-silver one became mine then got sold on to a knob who didn't have a license and killed it ragging it around in the woods

The Frontera? They made the 3 door A under one of it's other names, the Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard Amigo
Here's an old custom to represent the one my ex wife had

 

I like the boy racer ones, especially the replica of Steve Green's Cortina
 

Popped into Bluewater Entertainer, they must have had 15 boxes of Hot Wheels under their display table, all had been rummaged through but that's not to say there was nothing left...

Just come back from the two boot sales with a bulging bag of goodies;
Bburago Celica is a bit big for me, but I liked it

Corgi Mini has had a jaunty repaint and was only a quid, if anyone wants it?

...and that's it!

The southern hemisphere is a hotbed for odd badge engineered cars!

1968 Simca 1501 Coupe by Heuliez. Never made it into production.

1971 Fiat 132-S Flares by Michelotti

Just how many of those 60th anniversary Majorettes are there?

The development of the Steve Green Cortina





 

I did my own version of a hidden treasure Allegro quite a few years ago. It was for a mate and was a cruel reminder of his own car, languishing at the bottom of his garden!

And the real thing:

I actually did it from memory as I didn't have the pic, and I wish I'd spent more time getting the green slime right!

This is the one I had. Mustard mitt, your one looks great.
