Please no... not that bloody 20p-in-the-handbrake white one again...

 

:D

 

If the 20p were to be released from the handbrake of that 405, the value would plummet by 20p. FACT.

There are only 63 in total of a certain type of car that resides hereabout. However, the precise model that resides here is lumped in with all the other cars that are near its description... when new, there were 12 made and 8 exported.... so how many left now?

Nothing, I've still got it. The problem is that the bonnet is absolutely colossally rotten and I'm having trouble sourcing another.

Ah i know your pain, ive patched mine up best i could but not much there underneath.

sloth You probably won't like it, i modified it back in the early 2000s because my dad bought it for me as a smashed up wreck rear quarter damage mostly but it was covered in dents and damage and it's base interior was also destroyed, a combination of ripped seats, mismatched front to rear and the door cards were ripped, the parts weren't available even back then so modifying was the only way of saving it.

 

These are the earliest pictures I can find, they are after i repaired the body damage

I started rebuilding it a few years back and now I'm waiting for it to go in for paint.

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.

 

Two 1.3 Montegos survive that we know of - the blue one that was snapped on the AS Facebook page back in September, and a red one belonging to a forum member.

Cherry turbo?

 

The only one I knew of got stolen last year.

 

I have been told of an Asian lad in Wolverhampton who has 5 of these.

Early N & P reg Daewoos must be getting rare now, Espero's, Nexias etc. My dad had a N reg 2.0 CDXI manual Espero in a gorgeous glossy red that was only 2 year old at the time. I swear when one next surfaces i'll have to buy it.

I've not seen the original bug-eyed Fiat Multipla in a very, very long while... 

 

Must be a pretty rare thing now. Especially in working order.

Vauxhall Cavalier Antibes special edition, any left I wonder?

Another vote here for the Stanza 3 door, this is the famous Croydon one that seems to have now been scrapped, unless the longterm owner hid it away somewhere.

I don't think I'd ever seen a car with such gratuitous overspray, the front windscreen had been sealed with parcel tape too.

Also, Hi everyone.

Perhaps not totally extinct, but few enough are around that finding one for sale is a real challenge.

 

Mitsubishi Tredia

Plymouth Cricket

Cheers fella, there's only one RS500 touring car for me, the labatts liveried car, it partly sparked my love for them, it's my all time favourite,

Stourport on Severn, Worcestershire

 

No idea what spec

Surprisingly, according to HML (and I do realise it might not be right) the last taxed Sao Penza left the road as late as Q2 of 2014.  One is still showing as SORN.  I'd have assumed any car going through a breakers now would always show as scrapped on the DVLA (i.e. not found on the tax checker website) but I suppose it could just as easily depend on how good yards are at filling in the paperwork.

 

The battered example photographed here still comes up, shows as untaxed since 2008 so it might yet be hiding in a garage somewhere, seems unlikely though.  MOT history shows less than 50,000 miles so it had a hard life by the look of it.

At the NEC this year

I wouldn't be surprised if the Chrysler Alpine is rarer, vinyl roof as well. Rust never slept in those cars, even by 1970s standards.

 

Don't know why the pic doesn't show, it was the Matra Rancho.

 

I love the action pic of the giffer piloted blue Montego above!

P plate Nxia is my current daily. Totally bloggers, 32k.

 

I've a laid up Yugo 313. Road ready, but no current use.

1.3 Montego for example. I know they made some but I never saw one at the time never mind now.

NuttyHK if she's still here has a C-reg Montego 1.3 base.
