NigeT Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Had never heard of a JDM Orane until I saw this one in the Algarve over New Year. Would love to know more about them, looks like top class shite. HillmanImp, Skizzer, michael t and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I've done pretty well today, I think... Bastard child of Ovlov & Renault. Does anybody else remember when these were all over the place? This examples has only done 37,500 miles. ...and my best spot of the decade. On the A2, doing 60. An Trabant! Photo courtesy of Lady Grumpius. I got excited and she couldn't work out why. I just asked that she get a picture. This has 128,000 miles on it. Can you imagine how desperate you'd have to be to drive that much in this car? I suppose it's only 4,250 or so a year - but still. egg, danthecapriman, worldofceri and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutty2006 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I remember when these were ten a penny. Infact I had a pepper red Finesse as my second car, one I wished I’d held onto. Don’t see many now, I think the ground claimed them back. GrumpiusMaximus, worldofceri and Dannyk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadhg Tiogar Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 In the back streets of Ealing, an Opel-badged Astra. Irish-spec, but re-registered on British plates a while ago. Interestingly the MoT on this ran out in April last. LightBulbFun and michael t 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like a space ship compared to the Metro we had at the time. That particular car had an alarming habit of frying the ECU handling basically all the interior systems. Think it had been through five before it was given up on and sold on. The other memory I have of working on one belonging to a friend is that the engine is center over at precisely the right angle to make getting to absolutely anything a nightmare.

MorrisItalSLX Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Definitely a BL part, perhaps a case of parts bin sharing between manufacturers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems there was a Hunter Super, and the one in the photos is a 1500, rather than a 1725. DVLA sez it's taxed / exempt until September 2020, and is obviously MoT-exempt, but it clearly hasn't moved from this spot in a long while. The tyres are all losing pressure by the week. The owner is probably a shiter, with various oul cars dotted in various places in North West London. I think he might also own the fintail Merc that I photographed a while back languishing behind a wheelie bin on the opposite side of the North Circular. UPDATE: he IS a shiter!! Knew I'd seen it before! The Hunter Super used to be parked here - the spot is now occupied by a fintail Merc that I photographed in June last! danthecapriman, Datsuncog, michael t and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
