That has bothered me for years since I was 5 and my dad had one. It got to the point many years ago where now I smirk every time i see one. I mean, everything to the rear of the door is different from the saloon. Why not just get some slightly different shaped glass and a window frame. Honestly how much can they have saved by doing that...grrr etc.

Looks lovely, I'd have a flutter if it goes full Roffle.

Yeah, reading about this car was what brought me to AS in the first place, where I can live my chod ownership dreams vicariously through you (and many others). Glad to hear you're giving it a good fettle!

I quite like the gloomy look of this with its black wheels and black over doom grey. Various faults and 180k but it's a 190d, so barely run in etc, etc. what is not to like? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-190d-2-5-auto-2-owners-FSH/163785076173?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Paid crossed and clenched.

Autoshite camper hand painted in fetching beige. Needs a lot of work but could look the part. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHERPA-CAMPER-VAN-1979-DIESEL-5-SPEED-AUTO-SLEEPER-MOT-TAX-EXEMPT-RESTO-PROJECT/383027835946

C class in a winning 90's colour. Shame the interior isn't a bit more flamboyant to match but looks good nevertheless.

Smol van. No pics of the 'conversion' which is telling but looks a lovely thing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/97-DAIHATSU-HIJET-MINI-BUS-CAMPER/163760162905

Probably just needs a good run up the bypass. Currently £250 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-F-Steptronic/383026216710

That looks like a mountney one to me. They are an aftermarket supplier and sold wheels and bosses for all kinds of cars. e.g. http://www.leacyclassics.com/msw43fblb.html Edit to add, having caught up I guess the make of the wheel is kind of redundant now. Hope your luck improves.

Jag XJ sport V8 with various dings and worryingly unusual arm rest wear. The whole thing screams trouble to me but it's £500 no reserve and isn't that what Jag's are supposed to do? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-JAGUAR-XJ-SPORT-V8-3-2-99p-start-with-no-reserve-MOTd-until-October/352696787320

Hot* racing* Micra SR that probably only needs the bottom 4" welding up again leaving you with tired old used up beater. On the plus side, it's currently £275 no reserve and looks like a fun thing to bomb around in. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Micra-SR-1-3-1996-K11-Green-Rally-Race-AutoSolo-Shed-Nail-Hack/202716359904

+1 for this idea if it is not too much bother😀

That is a lovely looking thing, I forgot about those, what a simple and elegant design.

I learned to drive in one of these, pulled well i recall.
