ruffgeezer Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Mk1 Saxos, especially the sporty ones. If I can find a decent standard one I might squirrel it away for a few years, the value is going to rocket in the next few years. TRW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I can't agree with you there Junkman. There is some cool desirable stuff on that list on just the same way that there was some awful soulless rubbish produced in the 70s 80s and 90s. It is the car not the era that matters to me.This. Plenty of pre 2000 cars were mass produced white goods on wheels as well. Each to their own and all that but personally I find an Avantime interesting whereas a Morris Minor offers nothing of interest to me. The very fact that something is old or produced before a certain date does not make it any good. Similarly I don't buy into the 'all new cars are shit' mantra either, theres plenty of interesting new(ish) cars around. chaseracer, Ghosty, alf892 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Alfa 166,but did you ever see many? There were three at one point, in this not especially affluent corner of Staffordshire. All gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Where have all the omega's gone? All seem to have disappeared, I really cannot remember when I last saw a first gen example on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyG Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I see more Rover 800s now than Omegas. There is an S reg estate that lives in Cheltenham with very frilly rear arches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Seem to see a wide mix of stuff round my way. Lots of Rovers, including 75 flavour. Not seen a Proton for donkeys years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybabes Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Is it only my impression, or are e39 5-Series Bimmers getting thin on the grounds? I see at least one nearly every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyruspower Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The early 2000s Shogun and Shogun Pinin seem to have evaporated around these parts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Haven't seen a non Picarsehole Xsara in a while, nor a Saxo of any sort. On the other hand there's a delitfully mingebag and very tidy mid 90s red Escort that I see quite regularly. Apart from that though, most of the early 2000s motors are on the endangered list.Rovers have survived remarkably well, which is pretty good going considering they went bust 9 years ago.

Split_Pin Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'm struggling with this thread as, and this always happens, I don't notice common cars disappearing until I stumble upon a derelict example 10 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt79 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Dont seem to see many Honda Civics (2000 - 2006 - gearstick in the dashboard) models, or early Mazda 3s (especially the stubby saloon variant) anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince70 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 How about the Peugeot 1007..I guess a cumbersome sliding door containing post 2000 French electrics was never going to be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
