Stoneleigh spots

[seth]

We trundled up to Stoneleigh yesterday for the restoration show/jumble. Some quality tat spots in the bit where we parked

 

 

A lovely pair of old English cars. I hope the MK2 owner found lots of useful parts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two were in the for sale section inside. £395 for the Citroen(MOT May 08). £495 for the Astra (MOT Oct 08). I've photos of the adverts if anyone wants the phone numbers....

That's a 10 on the shite factor richter scale! Thanks for that high level shite spot

[KruJoe]

I'm loving that Maxi, even in it's strange 90's-looking colour.

 

 

 

 

 

Any similarities?

 

No? Just me. I'll get my coat...

 

 

"TAXI!"

Probably on the inside & underneath!

That 90 looks very good for an 80's Alfa! The Mitsuoka looks almost like a weird photoshop of a squished MK2... odd things. Would love to build a mid-engined one with a 3.8 litre XK

[Mat.T]

damn i completely forgot about this show, i needed some bits too some nice spots there, i think the astra was for sale last year too

[Alpineandy]

I walked around there really unimpressed by it all. The autojumble is very large but so 'main stream british' it's scary, whilst the 'show' bit was very very weak.

[wuvvum]

That CX looks like it could be a bargain. If the DS makes a half-decent amount I might well be into that.

There was at least one other Mitsuoka there too. Perhaps they're getting acceptable as "winter drivers" for real Jag owners? We had a pretty good rummage round and picked up quite a few bits including a decidedly non English ball joint for the Saab, chassis outrigger for the Herald and MGB rear telescopic shock conversion bits that will hopefully work on the Oxford for a fiver.

[michiel]

Ha, I'd love one of each with 'my summer car is a real MK2'/'my other car is a Mitsuoka' stickers.
