Too far gone? That just needs sills and rear arches, doesn’t it? There’s people on here that would have it winning prizes by Wednesday. @trigger - not tax exempt but it’ll have rear seat belts.

Now I know where all the Lancia design engineers went to work after they got handed their cards.

This 8v hottish Tipo is really rather lovely. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283921869590 Less than the price of a ratty Mk2 Golf GTI, too. Very much would.

I hadn’t noticed before, but the glasshouse on those has a distinct Mk2 Granada look to it: I assume there are no interchangeable parts though.

Further checking with DVLA suggests that 24v Royale Coupe is still MOT exempt: So as the 3.0 Carlton GSI replacement engine is substantially the same block as the original 2.8 (as well as the 3.0 that was later a factory option on the Royale), all is good for MOT exemption. And yes there was a 2.8 CIH, I've got one parked outside.

What an excellent reward for seven years of patience!

The MOT history suggests the original 2.8 CIH blew up mid-test in 2013.

My heavens, I bet that’s a lovely cruiser. That grille badge needs to go, obviously. It’s even properly logged as a 3.0 with the DVLA. No MOT though, and I’m not convinced its exempt, being modified. Edit: I have now convinced myself it is MOT exempt.

You mean apart from this thread? eBay allows you saved searches and will send you alerts; I assume this also covers Gumtree now since it seems to cross-link to ebay. Good luck finding anything on CaC these days.

If you’re planning on commuting daily, I’ve got some bad news.

Be like me, only even more fucked. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143635797739 Well I say that, but at least this one runs.

Yes, he is. Ok not a 911, but it was less than 3 years old. And it was at their own base, not on a drive (mine’s mid century modern concrete rather than mock Tudor gravel, btw). Not sure whether that makes you feel any better.

Bit of late reg madness going on there - the T25 (or T3 or whatever it is) came out on a V. Nice.

If only we knew someone with a cheap CityRover for sale.

I like that, because it’s so rare to see a nice stock one. Please don’t make it ‘individual’, i.e. identical to every other one.
