Import at a guess When I saw it, I thought it was a Daihatsu Materia, but then I saw the badge. However, subsequent research has uncovered that the two are one and the same anyway, ie Daihatsu Materia = Toyota bB. Something of a niche car here, I'd guess. I did drive a Materia once, it was hilarious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_bB#Materia?wprov=sfla1 sutty2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spray of fuel cooled down the carb to the point where it collected ice and blocked itself. I think his 'fix' involved SELL CAR. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

I do not have that opportunity. But if I continue to throw money at it, it will be resolved in the end, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL (well a speed camera one anyway, I dont know if your supermarket carpark ANPR systems can handle voided registration marks and the such like!) at least it is showing as insured on the MID!

Same colour as the one I had, burgundrot metallic, but a year younger. Looks like it has genuine Alpina alloys, but the whitewalls are just tacky. Front wings have clearly been replaced, but are incorrect for that year. This is a Sept '83 car, and E24s didn't get side repeaters until about 1985. Rear bumper hanging. Just needs a bracket.

MiniMort Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I saw this on the side of a dual carriageway. Had to go off at the nearest exit, rejoin the other way, come off at the nearest exit, rejoin again and reap the rewards. Apparently its the only yellow '95 Almera on British roads.
