At least his face is clearly in shot though, ready for the police to not take the slightest bit of interest.

It's not in a fit condition to be parked on Lizzie's highway any more though. It's a hazard and the local council have a responsibility for the safety of other road users.

I missed this thread first time around. That mileage, and general decent condition of the car and interior beggars belief. Proper Audi.

Ah, I hadn't really clicked it was his. At least you have the potential, level space for car ports now. Exciting times ahead!

Is the issue purely that it's a thirtysomething gallic wannabe diva? It's done infinitely better than its counterparts to reach this milestone to be fair. On a side note, are you giving up the unit which you shared with MikeKnight? It was interesting seeing the various projects going on within.

Those are the photos of the 75 which I remember. Good to see it's loved once again.

I'm a sucker for a car with a story and love the idea of owning a pre production motor. I guess manufacturers are much more fastidious now about keeping tabs on pre production stuff and ensuring they're returned and duly crushed. Speaking of pre production, is that Rover 75 still languishing at the side of the road, slowly going green?

Shut up!

Wow, great,scans. Unsurprisingly, those 16s look to have folded like paper, especially when prodded by large Fords. Crazy fella.

As Cobain once said, oh well, whatever, nevermind.

No, I'm sure I read he's gone AWOL. I wonder if he 's chopped in the 16 for a financed-up new diesel Megane?

The owner of this one is no longer with us, sadly.

I've just realised that the design of the rear door imitates the shape of most modern designs which have appeared in the last two or three years. Id never spotted that before. Who'd have thought modern* design ideas would actually owe their thanks to an early 1970s Datsun?! Obviously the Datsun is way more attractive. Here's a modern Datsun, which actually looks much better than everything built since the K10.

Shame really, as I reckon the metric steelies on an early Metro look 101% better than anything else.
