All 3 of my Sambas are long gone I'm afraid. RIJ 576 was a 1.1GL in gold that was a bit crusty. AXI 5727 was a 954cc LE in red, and was mintola. I had a blue one for parts as well that was given to me for nothing, provided we went and got it pronto. Towed it from Whitehead to Carrick with the LE which was a mission, as the car was stuffed full of bits as well, and was very heavy.

When me and my mate started examining the parts in the back of it, none of them were for a Samba!

 

​There's defo some photos somewhere, especially of the red one. We're talking 1990-92, so pre digital. I took quite a few of the car, as I did various things to it. MG Metro rear spoiler, Colt Celeste bonnet scoop and some dinky wee three stud alloys from a Citroen LN (I think!). There used to be a Peugeot Talbot parts place in Newtownabbey called Bairds, and they got me the P-T racing stripes and the black overlay for the bootlid. I originally wanted just to get a new one, but they got me a Samba GLS one by mistake. I used it anyway.

 

​The seats from the GL found their way into the LE, and looked good with the red. I always wanted to get a later dashboard with the high up radio, but never managed to find one.

 

I did paint the bumpers body colour, and they looked brilliant. For ONE day. Peeled off in huge chunks, most embarrassing. Rat look before it was a thing.

 

I really must find those photos. They'll be among the several thousand in my parents' house, no doubt.

 

Whitehead to Carrick eh?  Still mental to hear Whitehead (my home town) being bandied around on here like.

Datsuncog was on about Gleno the other day too....

I used to go to work in a silver Samba every morning - Whitehead to Larne.  It was proper povo spec like, but loved it nonetheless...

I used to live on the next road down from Logan's when I was studying, when the filling station on the shore road still had a shop in it. I miss it round there! Used to take regular spins up the coast beyond Carrick, stopped in Whitehead a few times.

I used to work in that entire area, have lots of good memories, lots of great memories, and some shite memories! Remember the northern bank branch on the doagh road (cloughfern)??? Whist working for a security company.... I managed to get robbed there 4 times!

Ha ha - Cloughfern.  Mrs Hoker is Polish - from the north coast (Gdynia).  Years ago we went across and stayed in her folks' apartment in Hel (google it). Wile small wee place at the end of a wee peninsula.  So like, there're about 2 bars open off season.  The one we went into was full of all sailing/nautical paraphernalia and antique madness all over the shop.  Hanging up in the middle was a Cloughfern Accordian band uniform jacket.  WTF sez me!!

I'll try and find the photie.  Very bizarre like.
