now here's the LHD FSO!

At the time when both were ubiquitous, these always seemed like the Lada Riva / 1200's quirkier brother! Saloon's likewise.

[Torsten2001]

Not been out and about much, playing with tat see! Here's a few spots though:

A Vauxhall Senator no less!

A lwb Rickman, they made good top boxes

A Solara at night

Metro Van

An Asquith?

the tow rope must have snapped coming off the M2 in Faversham

Now taken by the DVLA

well used landcrab

Sweet MGB in a private car park

...next to this Grandad

[michiel]

Pretty good collection still, love the Solara and the Metro, great how they made tiny cars into vans for really small businesses...

[Torsten2001]

like BT!

[michiel]

Ah, it's an ex BT-van? I always wonder how much you could fit in these small thingies, I'd say 3 garden gnomes and it's full.

[Torsten2001]

I managed to transport an MZ TS250 once in the back of my Metro, okay, most of it was hanging out the back, a great car!

[reallyloud]

 

This solara is being guarded by Skeletor. Good use of headlamps too.

[Torsten2001]

Just a few from today whilst hunting for a few bits to get Mums 218 back on the road:

Alto

Austin 1100

Sad Civic from another thread

Chrysler Hunter

Quite so old boy, got to keep a stiff upper lip...but I am a big fan of these Senators.

[Torsten2001]

I popped out today to have a look at this, just about to end on ebay:

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... L:RTQ:UK:1

 

just in case anyone's watching it it looks okay, the guy wasn't in otherwise I might've bought it, window issues though, certainly not mint

 

 

of course I also saw these within yards of it!

Merc needs welding, the MG needs work but looks fairly solid!

I take it this was too far gone for anybody? It's very sad when there's no turning back for a car. Like a dog that needs a bit of love & care but no one wants it so they have to put it down.

In Devon they spill their Ambrosia. Only they know how they make it so creamy!

WTF?

Smart Giulia

 

Much prefer this to the Smart Fortwo & Smart Forfour!

[Torsten2001]

an early prototype!

[r.welfare]

Those Giulia saloons are ace, and unbelieveably aerodynamic I understand, despite their 'barn door' appearance.

[Torsten2001]

Slack week for me, in dog house because of Beemer but the Renno's gone, then I rescued a 240 Estate, not been pottering much but here's a few:

Commer

Cortina

Nova

BGT

[Torsten2001]

Saw this along with 2 lovely Oxfords and about 50 Mk1 & 2 Grandads when I went to look at the Datsun, sad, no ownership connexions though

I once transported an LR Salisbury axle in a borrowed Reliant Robin van. We had to take the front seat out to get it in, and my helper had to sit behind me on the floor in the back. It was listing somewhat, and at no point did I exceed 25mph. Very unpleasant.

[Torsten2001]

I managed to get 11 people in a Mk 1 Fiesta as a youth for a 20 mile journey, does that count?

Only spotted this today

Actually that's not true, I was driving between Luton and Houghton Regis today and spotted air cooled VW's in a few drives and one glorious Viva HA, was driving though and it was pretty busy, sorry!

[Torsten2001]

Some recent and forgotten spots, enjoy!

This one's a zx Turbo, does that mean anything?

[michiel]

good stuff, especially this one

 

[Torsten2001]

Seth, you were after closer shots of that A55, I think they're about to tear the house down and erected a big fence, so I broke in and here's the shots...

[Torsten2001]

And a few spots...

No idea what this is, ex Ambulance I'll wager

[seth]

That van is pretty shagged then! I suppose there'd be a couple of useful little bits and pieces but otherwise it looks like crusher fodder

[CortinaDave]

Wow an absolute low-as-you-could-go poverty spec mk4 cortina! On the base model you didnt even get the rubber bumper inserts
