burraston2006 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Any thoughts on the MkV Cortina 3 door with 1.3 engine? I've only ever seen one ( in JRG) and that was about 15 years ago.
AlabamaShrimp Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 "What about Seat Terra vans in diesel flavour?" There's one in Wakefield, it's been stood for years and looks poorly!If it's the one on Aberford Road it's gone now
vulgalour Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Unless they've since been scrapped, there were a couple of these that have popped up on various forums I read this year. Certainly not common, but not yet extinct. There's even the rot-tastic liftback variants out there in numbers greater than 2 and a surprising number of the saloons which, I believe, are still in double figures. Good call though, talk about obscure!
Bren Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Cherry turbo? The only one I knew of got stolen last year.
155V6 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Any thoughts on the MkV Cortina 3 door with 1.3 engine? I've only ever seen one ( in JRG) and that was about 15 years ago.This one used to live near me,but has been untaxed since 2012 & shows as having a 2.0 engine.I used to have one,but it had 2.3 running gear & I can't remember the reg no .A lot of the 2 doors were 1.6 autos,as they were used as disability cars.
doobietoo Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 As far as I know there are no Passat B3 VR6 estate autos left....
155V6 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Probably because all the survivors got rung up as prefacelift ones to claim free road tax.Makes sense I guess.Many years ago,someone* may have reverse-ringed a Mk 3 as they had a rusty early 2.0GT,& a logbook from an R reg 1.3 that had been banger raced but still had long MOT.This was before the days of different tax bands though,so nothing was gained that way.
Timewaster Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 There must be loads of specific models that are long gone.. 1.3 Montego for example. I know they made some but I never saw one at the time never mind now.
mjrose Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 1.3 montego ex owner here. It perished in 1997 due to hgf, no doubt due to the abuse handed down by my 19 year old self. RIP
Adrian_pt Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Portaro Pampas. (There is one in Scotland but it's so rusty the bodywork has collapsed in on itself). 3-door series 1 Hyundai Pony. (There was also an estate, though I'm not sure it is was sold in the UK). Was the 3-door version of the Daihatsu Charade G10 (1977-82) sold here? The 5-door was - I know of one early version and two facelifted ones. Plus the Denem estate, I guess...
Adrian_pt Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Not extinct - Sam Glover has one. There were a couple of Tudors till recently - one still exists in Scotland, albeit totally rotten, the other, a minibus,disappeared after having been parked up on the same driveway since 1984. ​ .

Paul Dupart Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Fiat 132 1800 ES Fell in love with these when my dad nearly bought a used one from Carstins Fiat Dealership in 1978. Leccy windows, rev counter, alloys, sporty looks...... He ended up buying a two year old Princess instead.
sierraman Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Escort 1.3 Cosmopolitan. Mk4 shape. Haven't seen one for about 15 years. Someone's going to go 'I've got 6 of them in the shed'... Banger Kenny and fordperv 2
Rusty Pelican Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Bit of an oddball but the Singer Chamois factory RALLY conversion is extinct - the last known one was totalled 10 years ago and none have surfaced since . Factory 998 engines - special dash and suspension - 2000 were built for homologation purposes .Not to be confused with normal Singer Chamois of which there are well over 100 left tooSavvy, hennabm and vulgalour 3
garbaldy Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I think this is one at the back of this collection and it was out on the Clark a couple of years back.
Timewaster Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Transcat. The UMM like 4x4 which I think was a knock down kit built in the fens. I saw one or two in about 1987 and none since. Also I have vague memories of a Reliant Fox like utility pick up which was Metro based and called an MCV or something?The local Skoda dealer had them but to my knowledge never sold any. Can anyone else remember that or did I imagine it?
tooSavvy Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I nearly bought a 'kit modified' Skoda 130R. Dealer kit fitted to a showroom stock Rapid. White, grubby, cobwebs into the hedge 'any trial' sort of thing... Sales guy said "I'll just pop the starter pack on, should fire straight up!". Deffo saltier than Whitby chips.... still wood. Dealer in Dorset (I was driving by in a hire car). Got a black Rapid in Newcastle instead. TS BorniteIdentity 1
