Cavcraft Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Possibly had this one before, can't remember. Looks quite tidy but had the appearance of being sat for a while. Today I found these whilst going to view a motorbike... UltraWomble and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Shame that Transit based van appears to be so poorly maintained judging from the MOT history. Not sure whether that's because it's used so little or it's used so little because it's held together by duct tape and prayers...

Skizzer Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Yum. They’re actually quite handsome things, Viva HCs (and HBs for that matter). Look at the clean glass area with no quarter windows — very unusual for 1970. There are some neat details like the slim rear lights, the smooth curve of the line above the side windows, the point at the centre of the front bumper. If they were Italian and more scarce, I think people would get quite excited about the styling. Familiarity has bred contempt. I’d love a droop snoot HP Firenza. They were properly futuristic in the mid 1970s. dome, Cavcraft, phil_lihp and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Good day, yesterday. Dragged the Lada out for the commute... Then the Magnum (further above) was back, and these two were present later on... This also turned up a couple of days back...

Cavcraft Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 A yard quite full of stuff, there were at least 2x405s, two Rover 800s (one saloon, one limo) and lots of other shit. LightBulbFun, Spottedlaurel, Sir Snipes and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not far from you at all I'd imagine, captain. I'll message you details anon, I don't know the owner/s of the yard, it was a sort of chance encounter. It'd probably be worth going to see them though and having a chat. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on an odd bit of land on an industrial estate, near an emergency exit road for a factory, 50 yards from a security hut I think. Amazed nobody has taken the alloys (and other stuff) off it yet. paulplom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken down is my guess as well. It's vag after all. For that reason no one would steal it either. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last tested in early 2016 with 200k on the clock. Last V5 in 2016 too. Looks like it's ready to be weighed in - best thing for it if it's anything like the fLabia of the same era.

Zelandeth Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Sorry to hear that you had headaches when it came to selling the Lada on. Wasn't just me then...if that's the sort of crowd they're now attracting it may well be the last one I have as I can't be done going through that again.

Cavcraft Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 No worries, captain, it's just how it is these days, plus the bonus of being able to email two or three fuckwits saying 'sold for the full price' helped.

AnthonyG Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I suspect they helped it pass its most recent MoT. The Union Jack sticker above the name badge on the wing is also an indication of TRUE CLASS. Much want for the 1960’s Lincoln Continental in Sunday’s pics.
