As a Group what cars have we NOT got?

[Tayne]

Actually I just recounted and we've got two of those

 

Did you count my dad's D701SWL (he's had it since new), if not then we have 3.

[panhard65]

Are there many pre-war car owners on here. I used to have a 1939 fiat 508c which was a lovely car and so regret selling it. Bought by an American who exported it to Israel.

With the price of pre war cars now I would guess not. But I would like.......

[Vince70]

I have a Triumph 2500TC MK2 manual saloon is that close enough to a 2000?

I had a Triumph 2000 Mk2 which I nicknamed Sleepy as the first 3 letters were SLP it was in a dark blue so it looked like a 70s police car.

 

But how about the original Triumph 1300 fwd has anyone had one of those..

I remember my father having one years ago and it seems that 90% were light blue.

[wuvvum]

How many people on here own old Talbots or Chryslers these days. Maybe the Rover 400 is the new Solara?

 

 

I still have my Solara.

 

I also had a Giulietta.  Probably still would have if it hadn't been pikey'd whilst I was moving house.

[wuvvum]

Dacia Denem

 

Hasn't Sam Glover got one?

[Guest Breadvan72]

I had a Talbot-Matra Murena until I borked it and sold it to my spanner dude.

[eddyramrod]

I'll be amazed if anyone has a Hudson Hornet lurking in one of their sheds...

I've had a few - '34 Hillman Minx, '38 Vauxhall 10 and '38 Renault Novaquatre.  Plus a '46 Austin Ten which was pre-war in all but name.  As 6-cyl says though, sadly beyond my means these days.

[Mr Lobster]

Fairly sure nobody has a SEAT Malaga.

[wuvvum]

I had a Malaga about ten years ago.  It was just as bland and forgettable as you would expect.

[Des]

Does anyone have a Bristol?

A female member here has submitted photographic evidence of an ample pair.

[phil_lihp]

Vauxhall Viceroy/Opel Commodore?

 

Doesn't Mr Bickle have a Viceroy?  Fairly sure I remember a photo of a white one from an old thread somewhere.

[Ghosty]

Renault 7 is another one nobody has.

Anyone have an R4?

Mash has one. Not seen him around here much of late. His is lovely.

[Mr Livered]

A Wolseley Hornet might be more realistic.

[wuvvum]

 

Anyone have an R4?

 

Mr. Lobster has a van.

[Vince70]

How about a Saab 90 I had one years ago it was basically a 99 front with a 900 rear but haven't seen one on the road in a few years..

[derskine]

If 1960s, then does anyone here have a mark 1 or 2 Cortina?

 

I've got a mk1

[phil_lihp]

Given the general Rover love around here, I don't remember anyone saying they have a 100 or 600.

[vulgalour]

There's a couple of bubble-rovers, but is there a Rover Streetwise?

[phil_lihp]

Give Bo11ox a bit of time, he hasn't finished his 25 yet.

[derskine]

Anyone got a vw notchback/fastback/squareback?

[DVee8]

I had a MK2 Cortina that the wife purchased for me for Christmas about 8 years ago.

[rml2345]

Don't think so. On the subject og Volkswagens, has anyone got one of the 1988 style Pisshats?

[jmsguzzi]

Bentley Turbo R?

[fordperv]

Ford bantam (mk3 or 4 escort shape)

Vw apollo

[Twiggy]

Fiat Croma ?

 

Granada ?

 

Vauxhall Viva ?

[Justin Case]

Although there are at least two later Daewoos (just before they bcame Chevroletised) around this parish there seems to be a notable lack of the earlier ones, not just the Nexias and Esperos, but the Lanos, Nubira, Legenza, etc. Continuing on the Korean theme, I can't recall anyone admitting to a 10 Year + Hyundai or Kia. There is a Kia Pride for sale locally, so perhaps it's time to open the batting for the dog-munchers

 

Edit: mention of J reg Protons reminded me of an immaculate one spotted in Lichfield on Saturday. Unfortunately it was dusk and also absolutely hissing down so please excuse the abysmal photography

[Waderider]

I spotted a J-reg Proton a couple of years ago.

 

Go get it. It is on current Google Street View and looks like it is actually in use. See here (Sorry, OS map link as I can't work out how to link to streetview).

 

Nice colour also!
