I saw that when it was up for sale it looks really well done.

With the money I'll make from the Lada I was thinking about buying this. I've never owned one before but I imagine it's just as shite as most other old fords.

I wonder why PBO has got a different front panel to the other two Rivas.

Out and about in the Skoda today. Not bad at all and faster than a 1.6 capri

After a year of use and bringing the mileage up to 343k miles I said goodbye to the old Mercedes Recovery truck, with only a few days mot left I swapped it with a pal for a C15 Romahome.

With 11 months mot I thought it would be easier to flog this on than to sort out the Mercedes. It actually drives quite well, it's not as slow as expected and with the power steering it's easy to turn.

I thought all the old Ladas had been sold back to Russia.

Another quality vehicle arrived at the weekend, nice little 1.1, drives well but with a shitload of other stuff arriving in the next couple of weeks it's not a keeper!

Is this for sale or up for raffle @RetroShite?

Raffle, I make a living by raffling cars so selling outright isn't worth bothering with.

blimey , is that the 55A that was for sale on the south coast recently or another one? If it is looks like someone's done a bit of work to it. If not, where on earth do you keep turning these gems up from !!

After sending a 340 to Shetland the other week I spotted a 360 for sale up there and had it sent on the boat to Aberdeen.

All imports, the RG50E is pretty cool and goes surprisingly well!

 

 

We got another classic Beetle.

I fitted some Lancia Alloys to the Yugo which makes it look a little less shit.
