All,

 

A selection of my 80s motors, all one owner with bills of sale and condition A1.

 

First Skoda Estelle 2,700 miles

Yugo 513, 9,000 miles

Lada Riva 16,000 miles

Lada Samara 12,000 miles

Vauxhall Cavalier 20,000 miles

Talbot Solara Rapier 16,000 miles

Yugo 65 Cabriolet, never registered and as new.....

 

 

You should paint your garage white, then advertise them for 100 times what they are worth (and then somehow sell them within two days).

[trigger]

Unbelievable. That's all.

[minolman]

I see from the state of the Skoda tyres that the floor will be all muddy again

Visa looking like a good 'un there. Nice interior. 

Good spot on the Lada mats by the way.

Hello all,

 

Well we have had some movements at the garage....the Visa is heading south to a Citroen fan in Tamworth. The Yugo van is with a fellow Yugo lover in Leeds and this rare little motor arrives at the weekend. Its had 1 owner, been laid up in a garage from 1999 till now, all paperwork and 11,000 miles. The engines on these were quite peppy as I recall.

[Micrashed]

You are TehDoctor AICMFP

[Benjyp10]

When did anyone last see one of these! I had the MK2 Cupra Sport and it was fantastic....most now have been butchered and ragged to death by the "pumpers"

That looks gr9! Haven't seen one in ages but seem to remember some of them rocking 'engineered by Porsche' stickers at the time. And those rocker switches on the dash are just full of win!

[r.welfare]

My mum briefly considered an Ibiza 'Friend' which looked just like that but had electric windows. Oh the luxury for 1992. Instead she purchased an ex rental Metro 1.1S but either way I was happy because it meant her Lada Samara 1.3 'Select' was history.

[trigger]

Where do you keep finding all these little gems?!

[Benjyp10]

I stalk people!! Lol ....no word of mouth, local rags, classic cars UK. Not usually E bay...in fact never bought of a car of e bay

[nigel bickle]

I drive one of these every day, and can vouch for what fun they are.

 

Mines a base level 1500, amazingly economical, great fun to drive & sufficiently worthless that I rarely lock it.

 

I thought I'd done well at 55k, yours looks like an absolute belter

 

Excellent -well done. Hope you enjoy it.

[Benjyp10]

Ah a Lada Select, you say....like this one sat under the barn at my garage of delights. Its done a genuine 7,000 miles and waiting its turn unless someone wants it for £200

'System Porsche' they said... Apparently, post-Fiat/pre-VAG Seat had paid the engineering consultancy part of Porsche to redesign the combustion chamber or something and then felt it was appropriate to stick the Porsche name all over the car ! 

 

I would still love a first generation Ibiza, haven't seen one in the UK for a long, long time ! This one looks like a real minter, though for proper* performance you need to look out for an SXi !!!

[Benjyp10]

 

Needs a bloody good clean and some finesse and G3 and am sure will come up a treat, needs 3 patches welding to sills, other than that its very solid. Just on the list waiting its turn

[trigger]

A 3 door Samara has to be a rare beast now!, Those tyres look a bit iffy though!

[Benjyp10]

Ãœber rare, especially with 7K on it. It need someone with an afternoon with a welder, some recommissioning and fresh set of rubbers and they are away. Its sat und cover and on bay to stop any further rot

[Sigmund Fraud]

That Samara is the spitting image of one that a good friend owned in the early '00s. He drove it like he had stolen it but it would just keep going ! On one occasion, we stripped out the interior, took the air filter off and drove it to a track day which was embarrassing and amusing in equal parts.

 

Tempted... Very tempted...
