Something I'd never heard of before, interesting to read

When this system develops a fault, I'm sure it will be a walk in the park to find a new one off the shelf..... Wonderful!

But it is a bargain Ferrari. 😉

Never heard of the NY500 museum so looked it up. It appears to be a cafe/meet up point. With a garage attached.

So wrong ! Where do you start.? Can’t even get Reliant Robin in the right order.

I can only assume Ferrari’s legal bids are too busy laughing to actually stop them calling it a Ferrari.

@Metal Guru.... "I can only assume Ferrari’s legal bids are too busy laughing to actually stop them calling it a Ferrari"

I wonder if it has a 'gag sticker', in the rear window >> "Don't Laugh, my OTHER car is a DeLorean!"

👌

[Rod/b]

To be fair 8000 quid is now only just about enough to do a weekly shop in Waitrose and fill the car with petrol so the price seems about right.

Iirc* this was a badge engineering exercise by Maranello who, lacking a small fibreglass three wheeler in their range during the early 80s approached Reliant to provide one.

You’ll be telling us next Aston Martin would rebadge a terrible little Toyota 20 years later.

Namely the one that salvage rebuilds uk just had.... They paid £2000, it went for £4900...

Greater fool theory - Wikipedia

It usually ends badly - but then, if you're in the market for an MGF, that's kind of a given...

Goodyears on all four wheels; these look to be virtually unused although we don’t know when they were replaced.

Theres a 'lassa' budget on the front offside , i remember Rob mentioning this in one of his videos.

That’s about £1k  more than I paid for a new one ( petrol) in 1984.

[adw1977]

The list price of that Orion new was £6829 (the diesel was the most expensive engine option for a GL) so I suppose it has depreciated slightly!

I paid £5240 for a petrol 1.6 GL in April 1984. I think that was about £1000 off list price.

I would love to meet the person prepared to spend £10,950 on a 2003 V70. Nice car and all that but Shirley you’ve got to be kidding?

That was around the list price of the 1.6 GL (minus the VAT) according to Al's Ford brochure upload.
