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. It was a Samara Flyte according to the decals. I only took 1 picture in my excitement of seeing it, I will have to keep an eye out for it again! Don't know if the interior was standard but it had red flecks much like a late 80's xr3i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth ringing them to see what the owner is doing with it as they're about to lose their storage. Last MOT expired in 2016 so its not been off the road that long. Might not be as bad as it looks. It is (or was) Bickle's, so draw your own conclusions about whether it's worth pursuing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Another piece of roadside chod from over the summer, which I was too lazy to post, let alone spot... Looks like this in lowslung crispy T3 pickup is spending its twilight years as a mobile advertising board in Stroud. Vegetation sprouting is seldom a sign of a loved classic... With old VW prices still up in the stratosphere, surely there'll be a happy ending for this old thing?

Datsuncog Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 TAX AN MOT EXEMPT M9, INNIT? I'm also quite surprised it's still there. Not displeased, but certainly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goosey Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 At the top of the road outside the garage there are Merc, BMWs and various Japanese imports in various states of repair/decay literally dotted all over the road so the Triumph kind of goes under the radar. also the location is within the clean air zone so my guess is the scrap collectors avoid the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like an RS500 wing than an Escort one to me? Definitely doesn't work though... I wonder if it was part of the bodykit? The rest of it is a decent copy of the Tickford one.

Zelandeth Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Now this was absolutely lovely. So nice to see one that's so utterly unmolested.

Same owner from new and doesn't seem to do a lot of miles, mainly popping to the local shops once or twice a week.

The XL certainly had chrome hub caps because my Dad had one. I was disappointed he didn’t get a GT. The L had chrome caps as well but I think the XL had some sort of trim around it.
