mat_the_cat Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Woo hoo, another early Hyundai! Only ever seen one Mk1 Pony in real life, and that must have been around 2000. Obviously I parked my Stellar next to it, but stupidly did not take a photo. Looking forwards to seeing how good/bad this one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Cool! I didn't know you needed tyres to start it.  I've been getting it wrong, all these years. Good luck..... Cavcraft, HillmanImp, Twiggy and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 What a great picture, it looks the aftermath of an explosion in Jesse's Diet's Tyre Shop, circa 1983. chaseracer, cms206, loserone and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gricer Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Bloody brilliant. So glad to see that you've saved this automotive treasure for the nation! I actually went to Korea in 1987 and the place was crawling with these - all in proper BL colours. 3dr styling looks particularly fine.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I got contacted by a London-based Korean guy about a year ago who’d seen a 5-yr old advert on the blue forum for my C-reg Pony. I’ve kept in touch with him via the odd text now and then (he was mad keen to buy the C-reg) and let him know I’d scooped up this Pony. He said ‘I got Mk1 Pony now too’ so I asked him to send me a pic. Its only the JonCedric one!!!! He is also of the opinion that there are no others existing in the UK beyond his and mine. If anyone is out spotting he lives in the Kingston area of London. Alexg, mouseflakes, Angrydicky and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I saw a MK1 Pony in the wild five years ago. October 2009 it was. Me and a colleague were visiting a client office in Croydon. We got off train at East Croydon and ended up walking down a side road and then along a road that crossed the railway. We'd just walked over the bridge when a pale/powder blue 4 door X reg Pony driven by an old woman stopped and gave way at the side road we were about to cross. I just stopped walking and stared whilst my work mate carried on walking. He then stopped, turned round looked at me, asked what was wrong and I just pointed and the conversation went something like this... Me (pointing).."An X reg Hyundai Pony!!!..."Workmate....."So?..."Me... "IT'S AN X REG HYUNDAI PONY!!!!!!!"Workmate....."Yeah, whatever, c'mon hurry up, we've got an appointment to keep..." It then pulled out onto the main road, Addiscombe Lane I think...and disappeared up the road trailing behind a large cloud of blue smoke... Never to be seen again. By me anyway... True story. Shep Shepherd, tooSavvy, mouseflakes and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look.  Highest chance of seeing a Pony in the 'wild' in London would surely be New Malden. Massive Korean population there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 YO!!! Bump for a real thread. First of all, I never noticed the above post by Stuboy. Would you believe, that my gf bought me the above item last Xmas!!!! SPOOKY Anyway guess who's been in the garage this weekend? ONLY THE PONY (see what I did there? copyright 'The big O')   I haven't got loads of pics cos I was too 'on it' to stop and take loads. Anyway i took the carburettor off this yesterday. I thought it was scrap cos the throttle shaft was completely seized solid. After lots of farting about and a 'shit or bust' blowtorch attack I freed it off, removed it and polished it up with some fine wet and dry. I lobbed it all back together and connected it up to a can of fresh pez. Cranked away and wouold you believe, the 12,000 mile Mitsubishi engine fired right up and sounded FLIPPIN SWEET!!!!!!!! Its got some funny problem with the starter solenoid that makes the starter just randomly start cranking entirely of its own accord without warning, which makes fannying about under the bonnet an exciting pastime.  Unless some catastrophe happens, this pony is going in my barn this weekend where it will stay until I have time to do a proper stripdown and rotisserie-style bodyshell rebuild, could be years and years till that happens so I need to get it out the weather.  GET SET FOR SUCCESS!!!! Locked and loaded - got a ferry booked for midnight Friday. Fingaz crossed!!!! Alexg, greengartside, D Spares & Tyres and 33 others 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
