Extinct cars

Don’t know if we’ve already had this, but earlier versions of the Renner Espace must be all but dead now? Even the later, really handsome ones (Mk3?! From about the late 90s?) seem pretty scarce these days. We had a 51 reg Grand Espace, it ‘lectrics were shonky as fook but it was a bloody lovely thing to waft about in when it was serviceable! A real shame the last ‘proper’ ones (not that daft recent effort that’s nothing like a proper Espace) aren’t a bit more reliable, a bit less knackered and a tad less pistakingly priced!

HML suggests only 19 of these a still about

I know I mentioned the MG6 earlier in the thread however I saw one of these bad boys this morning and totally forgot these existed. Mark my words, these will be AS gold dust within the coming years.

It's parked in front of a shockingly nice house for what it is!

What a bizarre scam, like he’s gonna get a request for a fucking glovebox lid. 😂

I heard about a scam on one of the Morris Minor Facebook groups where someone was selling a load of parts that didn't really exist, the group members realised it was a scam so requested an ECU, DPF  DMF and various other things and got quotes for all of them 🤣

I love seeing photos I took appear all over the place! Not a veiled criticism either, I love it. 

 

IIRC, this one was stolen not long after my photo. So it's dead.
