This 100%.

It's... unique. Did they convert a standard car into that blue one with a front shovel?

Syd.

One is a heavy drinker and the other is George Best.

Sounds like it. The article certainly gives a much more balanced picture. Two sides to every story and all that. It still seems odd to see a 60s Porsche whisked away on the way on the back of a hot tub transporter though.

That reminds me a bit of the MG EX - E concept which I saw at the Motorshow in the mid 1980s. Oof. I reckon the designers had been smoking Jag and Pontiac flavoured rollies at the time.

You know banger racers aren't afraid of rust, right?

That's the most polite way of rephrasing 'dogshit' I've seen yet.

Lovely. Just needs some pre 2001 style plates back on it now 😉

Thanks for that. I'm just starting to nose around the blue after ages away. Looks like a cracking thread!

I've seen photos of those 309 estates. Kudos to the fella.

Plate on the Mog!

That's a perfect repaint candidate.

Now back up for sale for £750 sans MOT. It appears to have had nothing done to it since 2019. Still looks nice in white, regardless. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165965703595?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bjw9cfMARsu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=FV05_6LQQo2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Owned by @SambaS at one point: It looks like it's just starting to go around the edges - let's hope it ends up in the right hands.

Considering this thing has been stored in a bin for five years, it looks to be in remarkably good condition.

I reckon it's not been used since the plate change and the owner hasn't bothered making up new ones.
