They start at the front, go alongside the flanks, then kick up and go across the rear screen, down the other rear wing, where they continue forward on the other side, presumably. Why?

 

You've not been around a lot in the 80s, did you?

So you can't remember them. Good man, this means you really lived them.

Used to have this oddity in years back. Was absolutely gutted when i visited and it was gone.

 

 

I wonder if there are any surviving electric CFs or Sherpas left

There's a leccy Sherpa in the Ipswich Transport Museum and I'm sure someone either round here or on flickr found one resting in a hedge recently.

[flat4alfa]

Love that too

 

Wants a short fleeting visit to a spraybooth, but it's exactly what I'm after soon

The Eveready Sherpa is a favourite of mine, I was only there a couple of weeks ago looking at it again.

[Novanick1]

no i dont think so, post a photo of one?

[chaseracer]

Certainly...

 

 

[Novanick1]

Certainly...

 

 

oh right, i forgot these even existed. these have to be thin on the ground in the uk now

[trigger]

There was a chap at work who had one not so long ago.

 

1992 Alfa Romeo 33 1.7 Estate Sportswagon in Felixstowe by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

[sheffcortinacentre]

there was an electric cf at gaydon (ex royal housrehold)

[flat4alfa]

33 Sportwagons are positively plentiful at 31 survivors.  What with 6 of them left on the road.

 

What you really really want though is to get one of the 4 survivors of these back on the road

 

 

The proper Mk1 version with the switchable (but not when you're driving it) 4x4 system

Now your talking, there used to be a burgundy one that kept popping up on ebay for sale, I'm sure our kid Bo1's had a go at buying it once?.

Renault 30s are rarer than 20s
