Desperately seeking Su-charade-san

Where have all these gone?

 

Daihatsu Charade by Jibijib, on Flickr

 

This had been 'abandoned' for at least a year in a back street near my folk's house. I used to pass it to see if it was there, and one morning I put a note through the letterbox of the house. I put it through, the note fell on top of a pile of letters that was about 2 foot high. Obv totally abandoned, the tax disc dated the year previous. I passed in the summer again to see a note under the windscreen wiper - I thought someone was trying up me so I took it out and saw it was a photocopied note that had been left on all the cars on the street asking to move them off the road as they were having jubilee celebrations. I saw the car sitting in the road amongst the tables with red white and blue banners overhead.

The next time I looked, the car had gone. Either taken by a scrap dealer or the neighbours called the scrap yard and had it crushed. Either way, I'm sad I missed out.

The thing is I can't find these anywhere - I haven't seen any on ebay or gumtree???

Would this be too new?

Doesn't look like the picture but can't be too bad I wouldn't have thought.

I have a soft spot for Daihatsu's...in particular the Terios

Yeah, like that red one - it has the smaller rear lights. I suspect they've nearly all been binned by now.

I can’t remember the last time I saw one

 

I always preferred these, equally as scarce and more tragic looking.

 

 

Sadly you’re more likely to see Hitler riding a pink unicorn in Warrington Town Centre than either.
