Autoshite Wheeler Dealers

[overrun]

The dynamic* duo get their hands on an FSO in tonights offering.

 

Will we be seeing Cyanide Steve and co. at their world headquarters, when Mike makes his inevitable trip to a specialist supplier that he assumed would just be a two-bit gig operating from a shed?

It's a FSO Syrena, I've never heard of that model before.

That's the one! Neither have I.

It's not really for me, tbh.

 

NEADZ MOR 80'Z

[Partridge]

Googled it. Of internest to me at all. Boo. Hiss.

 

[overrun]

Bleurgh.

Sure that's not a K11 with a Moggy front end?

 

Oh those crazy Japs.

[Jim Bell]

Reminds me of Columbo's Pug a bit

 

 

 

 

I like both. Roundish cars do it for me. But I cant do it to them. Because I cant afford to.

[Partridge]

Here's a proper FSO.

Skoda Estelle?

Just like a Morgan.

Polish built. 2 stroke engine. Early ones had sucide doors. I think they were made until the early 80s? Never exported outside the Iron Curtain. Exceedingly rare in Poland and after years of neglect they are now/have now gained cult status and are being restored and cared for.

 

I'd love one.

I wonder if its more rare than a mclaren f1?

[Jim Bell]

Spending £3500 painting a £1400 car.

 

Hes got a lot to learn about not being a penis.

What? We're using hashtags on Autoshite now? Get that thing away from me, they have diseases!

[fordperv]

When did a hash become a hashtag I hate this modern world I'm not even on facetube

[UmBongo]

No doubt Brewer's Droop's latest purchase will break down en route to Blighty because he didn't spot the knackered engine/gearbox/whatever.

 

He'll trailer it to Ed and then eff off for an hour until it's sorted out.

I hate fuckbook AND the telly and I dont even care what a hashtag is other  than I think I took one once and thought I saw a  Syrena.  Telly was good when Colombo was on it though....

[oman5]

I think these were built to share the front wings with a much larger car being made at the same time hence the rather odd proportions.

[Cavcraft]

Did we have any (recent-ish) updates on the FSO garage the lads on here were setting up?

[nigel bickle]

I've a Syrena.

 

Here- in West Sussex.

 

Intention is to have it roadworthy for the Spring..

[skoda_norman]

Any pics? Did you bring it over from PL?

Here it is. Bought in Belgium, we finally collected it a couple of weeks back.

 

Cleaned most of the verdigris off, swopped the wheels out & attached A frame. Missing driveshaft meant a clonking UJ thrashing the chassis home- but no real worries.

 

Brakes, steering & suspension now in bits (all seized) before we try to fire up.

 

On the road in the spring -hopefully!

[Timewaster]

Mike "OLD OUT YER AHND" Brewer should have known about that one. He IS your mate isn't he Nige?

[nigel bickle]

Nah mate. Never met him

[Timewaster]

Sorry Nige, was a clumsy reference to Deals on wheels

[purplebargeken]

I watched it last night and actually quite liked the look of the car. Wouldn't say no to one. Where's Mr. Glover when all this Polish stuff is being discussed?!!

[Mr Livered]

I've come across this programme because there are clips of it on Youtube, but never seen it on telly (not really much of a television watcher and I didn't even know about that channel the programme is on). Does anyone know if they have any way of "catching up" like BBC Iplayer or 4 On Demand?

[cort16]

I just don't understand why they painted it. It already had a nice paint job in an original colour. I liked how the spare steering box arrived with the shaft cut off. It's good to see scrappies are feckless world wide.

[nigel bickle]

Didn't see it. is it You tube'able?
