£325 for a Mini Cooper seems like a bargain.

[Junkman]

That would be the J-reg Fiat 500 for £50 for me, please.

Accpt 35 csh 2nite m8?

[warren t claim]

Here's some from 1982.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A fair few bargains to be had here.

[warren t claim]

Can I have the Mk2 Mexico for £1795 please?

[Sigmund Fraud]

Brilliant work, Warren ! And that comes from someone who hasn't even been to Liverpool !

 

Oh, and those car ads prove that rusty old bangers are a far better investment than the stock market...

[Junkman]

What can you tell me about that '75 R16 TL with 12 Months MoT for £495, Sir?

[Junkman]

What?

No Mondeos?

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Got to be the Managing Directors Renault 30 TS. That's what a boss should drive none of these pussy Sportline or AMG badged 2.0 diesel versions of what the reps have got.

The plebs should have vinyl seated misery spec 12TL estates and look in awe at the blue velour,electric windows and radio cassette decadence of senior management. Secretaries wouldn't put their bare arses on the cheap nylon of a middle managers 16TS either ,they know proper sexual harassment can only take place when centrally locked in the cigar reeking fully reclined luxury of a Renault 30.

Buick Skylark for me please!

[Pete-M]

Smallwoods are still going.

 

I've got an old ad from my dad's garage sometime in the late 70s somewhere.

[Asimo]

I thought this Bedford was this one at the London Bus Museum, great thread BTW Warren.

What is that? a workshop or a staff rest-room? Would make a wonderful camper!

This is a cracking thread, much appreciated.

[warren t claim]

Fast forward to 1988 with these beauties from the small ads.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Lord Sterling]

Thanks for putting these up Warren. I really love these 'then and now' pics. There is a book at Tecos I saw the other day with similar pictures of Birmingham which I should have purchased.

[Cavcraft]

Ah, how well I remember those adverts when my dad brought the Echo home most nights.

[Station]

Will take 77 Cherry - will drop on banded steelz wiv matte black paint on it's belly stance stylezzz.

[warren t claim]

An early plate madness Cav on a P plate with a slushbox has to be tempting for a few hundred.

[warren t claim]

On second thoughts I'll have the 240k Skyline for £500.

[DeeJay]

It's still pretty much the sane price to hire a car for a day now as then.

[HMC]

To the 'owner going abroad' would you take a grand for the xj6 and the 1600E?

 

On second thoughts ill take the 150 quid mk 1 escort, and shove it at the back of my garage untill E bay is invented

[Rover414]

Great to see things like this, of course nowadays the Oldham Echo doesn't have much in the way of adverts like this but same goes for much of the rest of that rag.

[Junkman]
