Datsuncog Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Patinated but still tasty FE in VX490 flavour seen in Co. Down... I've a serious lust for these; the best bit is I spotted a silver VX490 in the same street about 15 years ago, so I reckon there's a serial Vauxhall licker in the vicinity. Look at that interior. Woof. But what's this, parked not far away? Mk2 1600E, in the best colour? Oh, yes please. Looked very clean - but I'd still take the big Vauxhall.

Datsuncog Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 A fine spot from MrsDC - this mildly modded Chevette, seen at a distance in Homebase's car park. Pretty sure I've seen this one around before, a late example on an A-prefix plate - but if so, the Minilite-style wheels are a new addition.

You could get Allegros by then, though being an estate they probably kept them going longer as was normal in those days.

quicksilver Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I've been such a lazy spotter I haven't even uploaded any pics for ages but I've got to share this one. I thought this guy had balls of steel venturing onto the M40 in an A35. I looked it up and DVLA says 4948cc. Surely that's a typo and it should be 948? No, there's a 5-litre Mustang V8 on a cut-down Lotus Elite chassis, gearbox and suspension crammed under there! It looks so standard yet has 10 times as much power as it did originally. Brilliant and I'd love to have seen the looks on the faces of the modern drivers he overtook. goosey, neil1971, SteersWithThrottle and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...Samara in any form is a bloody rare spot, but that looks to be a Juno based on the body kit and the year. Can't quite make out the graphics to confirm or deny. Bloody rare spot in any form though. Quite liked my one, it drove far better than it had any right to, though even comparing to the Riva and Niva the build quality was absolutely shockingly poor.
