As a Group what cars have we NOT got?

[Sloth in a bowl]

The top ten sellers of the 1980's were (stats by Honnest* John so may be bollocks)

 

1: Escort, Mark 3 and Mark 4

2: Fiesta, Mark 1 and 2?

3: Cavalier

4: Sierra

5: Metro

6: Astra, Mark 1 and 2

7: Cortina, Mk 4 only?

8: Orion, shiteter than a shitty thing on a stick

9: Nova

10: Maestro

 

If we can't cover that lot then there's no hope.

EFA, may be missing some.

Mr Cox recently purchased a Mk3 or 4 Escort and Trigger has also had an Escort of this vintage.  Philibusmo has a Mk2 Fiesta.  Craig-the-Princess has a Metro in the collection and I'm sure someone on here has a Nova that's tidier than a tidy thing but I can't remember their username.

 

So that leaves Orion and Astra.

[rml2345]

I was sure we had an Onion amid our collective car park of crap?

[phil_lihp]

The Nova owner was bugging me too, I had to do some sleuthing to find it was Morgan84 - where's he got to these days?

[wuvvum]

I think Louise2CV has a Mk1 Astra doesn't she?

[dugong]

All we need Volvo 400-wise is for someone to get a 480 and then we've got the set!

I did have a black Mk1 Ghia 1.6i, sold it back in Nov 2012 when I wanted to clear my collection of Ford & make much needed space.

 

What about a Mitsubishi Colt or Tredia, the version with the 8 speed box? Must be rarer than a Tagora these days.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I've got a Talbot Alpine

[cort16]

I had an Orion. Mk1 1600i Ghia.

[Jim Bergerac]

Anybody got a Belmont?

[vulgalour]

Are there any microcars in the collective?  You know, Aixam, Bond**, Heinkel, Gogomobil, Trojan, that sort of nonsense.

 

**Barrett's 1 1/2 Bonds aren't microcars

[wackywacerwill]

Of the cars not owned, which would be most numerous in its day?

 

Do we have a mk 1 or 2 Astra? Or a mk1 polo?

Louise has that gorgeous brown Mk1 Astra. Hirst has his red mk4 Escort.

 

Also Scary MUST still have his Mk2 tina

[drum]

What about a corrado or have all the scene twats got them?

Yes, there is a Messerschmitt.

[Anglevan]

Is it possible to set up a survey or database ? Id be intrigued to know what motors we all have

[stilo_active]

What about Fiat 133?

VW Santana?

Yes, there is a Messerschmitt.

I remember that, I think The Organist owned that, he of Renault 14 fame.

Wasn't it Messerschmitt Owner who owned the Messerschmitt?

 

I had a couple of Ligier Ambras, which I suppose count as microcars - they're in the same vein as an Aixam anyway.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Yes Messerschmitt owner was defo the owner of the Messerschmitt.

[Guest Tony Hayers]

I've got a Talbot Alpine

 

 

Say Mr B, Do you still have the Maserati? Ta.

Might I be so bold...

 

[Junkman]

Why doesn't everyone just post what he has?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Yeah I've still got it, not done any work on it for about 6 months though

[wackywacerwill]

Is someone attempting to call some sort of order around these here parts

Will keep an eye on your tat blog for future updates.

In an honest world it would be great  but in reality it could end up like the shopping list out of gone in 60 seconds 

[Junkman]

That would be rather futile.
