HillmanImp Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 As I don't actually leave the house anymore I rarely spot anything these days. However, today the spot came to me. I bet a few of the neighbours saw it parked outside and thought 'Oh fuck, he's got another old wreck'.

I thought to myself when I the post a couple days ago "surely thats a private plate" but nope genuine 1978 vehicle! they really changed nothing major did they! (but at the same time I really would not have thought the design was old as the 1970's!) Even Lada's got more styling updates LOL sutty2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Nope, there really isn't much to tell apart a 78 or 93 van - only tell is the really early ones had the indicator repeaters higher up on the wing mounted the other way around compared to the later ones - or didn't have them fitted in some cases at all. The only other detail I'm aware of is that some of the very last one had a horrible looking plastic moulded top on the gear lever, not sure when that came in though. Was definitely a case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it." Everything between the wheels remained unchanged on the heavier version way longer....the nose and tail got updated and it got a new instrument panel...but the van was still basically unchanged! 500tops and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Speed Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 The Omega on the right is normally parked there. Probably shouldn’t move at all since it’s MOT expired a while ago.
