DSdriver Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Found this on Hemmings Blog, 1980ish electric car that didn't make it into production probably because GM were afraid of upsetting fuel companies. I give you The Silver VoltI would have put it in the electric cars thread but a) its probably already there and I found this thread first after scrolling through pages for ever. forddeliveryboy and RayMK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adw1977 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Reckon plus about 5 years judging by the Corsair...Good point! The date was included in the caption in the 1998 book I scanned these pictures from, "Reigate & Redhill Past & Present" by Keith Harding, who presumably is not a shiter! mercrocker and DSdriver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 That ford pubic in the pond looks to be a 2000E judging by the pillar badge. It was thrown into the pond by the highly superstitious people of Reigate because it had come from the 'future'. mercrocker, JeeExEll, sheffcortinacentre and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 ^ Pic is described as 'Reed's Garage, Cobourg Street'. Have never been to Plymouth myself, am guessing the area's been redeveloped. ↓↓ A few more interesting old Plymouth street pics here you may like to see.https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/ford-capris-chevettes-lady-penelopes-639025 Some links to other interesting pics. (Edit - had a quick look at Google Street view, Cobourg Street still there in name but no obvious remains of Reed's Garage, unless I'm missing something. Shame. Was hoping they may still have a new-old-stock Mk2 Cortina through the back or one of those now-obsolete Mk3 Zodiacs). bigstraight6, forddeliveryboy and RayMK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame. Was hoping they may still have a new-old-stock Mk2 Cortina through the back or one of those now-obsolete Mk3 Zodiacs).Fantastic stuff, I’ve really enjoyed reminiscing over these images. I worked for Renwicks garage back in the 80’s when they were still Plymouth’s Volkswagen main dealers with Audi and MAN light commercials also included by that time though in different/bigger premises. I’ve got one of those now obsolete MK3 Zodiacs sat in my garage, shame it’s not a Plymouth registered one!..... JeeExEll and DSdriver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Ozzy Ozbourne, Prince Of Darkness, obviously overjoyed with the purchase of his 1983 265. I'd guess the permanently-on sidelights, strong integral bodyshell, seat-belt warning lights, and general competence in treacherous snowy / icy road conditions gave the Volvo the edge over it's competitors.Edit - he wins the 'Make a face like your house' competition.
