Disco MPi, it was a tax dodge model wasn't it? slower than the TDi with the MPG of the V8. A wonderful* choice.

128 Familiare must be pretty much history.   Messrs Grindley of Perthshire have one in a terrible state and the only reason I know they existed.

I haven't seen many Peugeot 605's recently.

Had two - the ex Partridge V6 and a diesel (pictured).

 

V6 sold quickly, the diesel took a wee while longer. After a robust conversation with WilsonWilson at the time (really, it was a very pleasant PM chat and we couldn't come to an agreement on price, no internet points were scored) a mate of a mate bought it. It's still at the bottom of CS's garden with my 960 estate.

That's not quite how I remember mine.

The Russian Volga. They were available in the UK but I don't know if any were actually made RHD or if the venture actually succeeded, but they did feature such refinements as grease nipples at the door hinges.

Also going back even further, the pre-war Opel Kadett which sold in large numbers in the UK. I've never seen one.

While there are other Pony survivors, namely the coupé and pick-up, have any estates survived?  Did we even get them?

I never drove one, had a mate who worked at a LR specialist & that's how he described them. I've never known him to be wrong about LR stuff before.

We borrowed one while the v8 range rover was being looked at, we were quite surprised how well it went

Anyone seen a Cavalier estate recently?

Late 70's Ren's - esp. the 14 & the 9 & 11. (no that's not the numbers for a roffle!). 

 

Used to be literally everywhere. Same applies to a lot of French stuff from this era, they all seem to disappear within a year. (Pug 405's are a good recent example of this).

Blighty sadly never received the Mk1 Pony estates. Just the 2 and 4 doors saloons up until the 1982 face-lift which spawned the 5 door hatch.
