EssDeeWon Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 A couple of central London spots recently... the Citroen was in Southend but not great quality as snapped from inside the car using a camera phone. Angrydicky, danthecapriman, Datsuncog and 10 others 13

Datsuncog Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 Some nice spots from Saturday... Volvo was very clean. Ex GB car, with the original B-reg plate stencilled onto the windows (and which I now can't remember, obviously). Black dash with dark blue seats, and autobox for effortless waftage. But this was what really gave me a Looney Tunes moment: Hoo boy. Original ROI Series 1 injection example, and pretty much spotless. Sorry, but the Dolly just couldn't compare...

Uncle Jimmy Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 9-5 parked up at the Prolemarket. A very early un, getting thin on the ground unless they're an OMGAEROHOT.
Roobarb Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Traveling at the mo... Who knew that this company still exists! Alive and well and selling in China apparently! worldofceri, stonedagain, Yoss and 2 others 5
Amishtat Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Not seen much of interest today. Off to the land of Volvos and square sausage next week though, so things should improve. adw1977, Zelandeth, danthecapriman and 2 others 5

They've only just started production, after the Chinese bought a controlling stake. Possibility that Borgward might start selling RHD in Britain by 2025 but they're going to have to invest heavily in hybrid and full-electric if they're going to avoid being a flash in the pan here. Not sure SUVs are the way to go though - I'm already having difficulty reconciling the name Borgward, knowing its history, and bloated 21st century 4WD lumps. I'd have thought they would try to make more ordinary cars, just like the original company did. Angrydicky and Roobarb 2

I'd have thought they would try to make more ordinary cars, just like the original company did. China seems to be full of hybrids, electric, methanol and gas transport. Seems like everyone wants an SUV here too, so I’m not surprised the first Borg car is an SUV. You will be assimilated! ?

jumpingjehovahs Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Cannot remember the last time I saw a Saxo, let alone one in the best colour they ever came in! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Zelandeth, 500tops and spartacus 3

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That colour is probably the front runner if I can ever justify spending the money to have the Activa resprayed. It's either that or proper Ferrari red (well, BX GTi red actually as my OCD would insist on it being a Citroen colour)...but that deep yellow is such a great colour. Remember we had a Saxo West Coast in that colour, a Seat Ibiza Cupra in lime green and a 306 GTi-6 in that gorgeous metallic copper lined up next to each other between the two workshop doors right out front of the garage. Was a contrast that could detach retinas from 500 yards. Seem to recall we had something pretty bright flanking them between the workshop and wash bag on one side me the office on the other too... can't mind what though. LightBulbFun and jumpingjehovahs 2

I can’t wait to see it! (Even if it’s waiting a decade) I love cars that are in entirely inappropriate colours, they always look 100x better than the standard brochure colours. I’d have loved too to have seen those 3 parked together, there’s not enough colour in cars anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk LightBulbFun 1

spartacus Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Wait for it... Spotted this earlier diving locally, I can't remember the last time I saw one and it looked clean, excitement levels were high so I gave chase. After a 16 mile detour the driver finally turned into a drive, I asked him for a pic and fairly predictably he started telling me all about the car. It's a 1970 S.A. car, imported in '76, hence the plate. It looks in good condition and has a raft of gen-u-wine giffer mods, including electric power steering controlled with a program knob from a washing machine and a length of thick old school flex under the bonnet with the three cores twisted together, one end is attached to an earth and the other is attached to a crocodile clip, 'just in case he needs to jump start it'. It's column change, which keeps the floor in the front flat, the seats were like armchairs and the cooling fan housing was a lovely one piece casting. Defo worth the massive detour! egg, LightBulbFun, davocano and 13 others 16
Broadsword Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Scientific conference takes me to Lipari. Besides the gorgeous natural beauty there is the opportunity for some prime chod spotting. The bread and butter of the island seems to be delightfully shonky Fiat Pandas, but more interestingly I have spotted like 5 Citroen Meharis already. LightBulbFun, spartacus, Datsuncog and 2 others 5
