The Sunbeam-Talbot 90 is another beautiful car. It went wrong the moment they joined BL, really. They were just getting on their feet again from that and then someone decided they should be aiming at Audi. Oh dear. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 I haven't totally been ignoring this thread for the last month, honest... I have, however, been building up some photos for you. Barrow Banger Racer Picks Up Granada Shock! This is surviving pretty well for 30+ years old. I hated the one I had in 1993... Beautiful old Volvo was at an art event yesterday. I can't believe this is 26 years old now! It lives nearby, but this pic is from the end of my street, much closer than it usually comes. When you have a garage round the corner it seems to attract abandoned cars! Two Vauxhall Antaras, both diesel/manual. Nearest to camera is a recent addition, the other one's been here weeks. This is the Passat I referred to in another thread, that threw up a terminal bill. And this Focus has been in the same spot for months. danthecapriman and Dyslexic Viking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 Just the one today, from last night's dog walk. Around the corner from me is a big pub that was open when we moved here, but closed down within a couple of years. It then went through a redevelopment that turned it into a massive HMO, supposedly for visiting BAE contractors. That didn't last and for the last couple of years it seems to have become some kind of halfway house or bail hostel. This black Mondeo has been sitting on the same spot for probably a year now, flat tyres and no number plates. It's often accompanied by a selection of Golf-sized VAGs, usually diesel, usually monochrome, usually being worked on, or at least laid up for work to take place.

Seeing them in end of life condition makes me feel damn old. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 I wouldn't be at all surprised if the police were looking for that one. Disappointed, but not in any way surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
