Yoss Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Okay, Morris Minors don't generate that much interest normally, they are probably the most common car of their era but this is different. How many are still working for a living? But just look at it. Zoom in and take in all the details.

The 900 Turbo on 162,000 miles at last MOT, and the 99 on 185,000. Testament to the quality of that Saab block. That 99 is the one from Flipping Bangers isnt it?

Pictured earning its keep last winter. Wowzer, what's the chances? Sorry to stalk you! Lovely old van that. See you in the Blewitt or Heddin's Ford once we're safe to do so mucker.

Tadhg Tiogar Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 An acquaintance of mine sent me the following spot this morning for your consideration: with the comment: "He spends 90% of his time polishing it, but it still leaks oil and fails to start." I am uncertain as to which shite he refers to.... CreepingJesus, Three Speed and Yoss 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Sorry, rubbish photo as it was about half a mile away. Hard to believe how rare it is to see a Saxo these days.

Zelandeth Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 What's more Autoshite than a slightly scruffy Xsara Picasso? Still has to be one of the most cleverly thought out and practical cars out there. While they won't win any awards for being exciting, there are very few real world tasks that they can't do with ease. Also spotted a T plate Xantia HDi today I don't recall seeing before, but was driving so don't have a photo. Edit: Okay, in answer to my own question maybe? Is this even more Autoshite than the Picasso? Sorry for the less than stellar photo, shooting more or less straight into the sun.

spartacus Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Spotted in Wickes car park earlier. A Midas, I really wanted one of these when I was in my early teens, although it was the model before this. I'd still like one now, this ticks a lot of boxes, easy to maintain, cheap to run, small, light, reasonably quick. Damn, I've nearly talked myself into one!

rob88h Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I spotted this gem while out getting supplies. Artful use of clingfilm and tape on this knacker... He's got to have his fingers crossed for the 6 month MOT extension! Although, it's still doing better than my MX-5 ? spartacus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Spotted in my local Sainsbury's recently. Been there some time and seems to have been abandoned.
