tooSavvy Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Samba gearshift is defo in the bottom 20th percentile of all cars ever made... as an ex-helmer of said 'whalebarge'..... utter $hite, like the rest of it.... EX F-i-L dropped it on us, as a surprise... aye, cheerz!! tooSavvy
CortinaDave Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 these are the business. Paricularly the travelling queer. Had an identical one as my first car back in 1997, although it was a rotbox even then!!
Bren Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 The cavalier is fantastic - even more shite points for having a carb and an auto box - most of the survivors seem to be convertible/CDi/SRi.
TagoraSX Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 You've lost me, travelling queer??Cavalier CortinaDave 1
HillmanImp Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I cant believe people are questioning the post under TooSavvy's! CortinaDave and oman5 2
brickwall Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks for the pics of the Cav. It's a beauty!
Mr Lobster Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Awesome car collection you have there. I should imagine you have recently caused numerous Autoshiters to draw maps of Africa.
dieselnutjob Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 amazing do Sambas have the same gearbox in the sump arrangement as my old 305 mk1? on mine the plastic bushes at the base of the gear lever wore out. it was an easy and cheap fix
Benjyp10 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Cavalier brickwall, DVee8, fordperv and 5 others 8
boobydoo Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 I've removed the centre caps as they are not replaceable and keep them for special occasions!! Aye. I remember nicking a set from an Alpine on a used car forecourt years ago. Undercover of darkness wearing a borrowed balaclava. Lacquer Peel, DVee8 and rml2345 3
406V6 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 That's a tremendous collection. I was going to say that all you need is a Tagora to win the Autoshite Grand Slam but you've got a Solara so you must be on the shortlist for winning at least the silver medal. More pics please. Isaac Hunt 1
Benjyp10 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 Yep, will load up some more as I get them out for their weekly constitutional!!
saucedoctor Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 do Sambas have the same gearbox in the sump arrangement as my old 305 mk1? Aye. A collaboration with Renault on the design. I had 3 Sambas. The gearchange wasn't all that bad. EDITED to add: I can't remember about the 1360cc one, it was a 5 speed.
Benjyp10 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 This is the Alpine GL under restoration, again 1 owner and low miles.... DVee8, In The Pit, michael t and 6 others 9

vulgalour Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 ^What he said. I feel I ought to say something meaningful at this juncture but really I'm just in awe. I don't remember any of this stuff looking this good when it was new. michael t 1
