My aunt won a Mini Mayfair from the Daily Mail in 1988. My mum bought it off her as it was surplus to their requirements and I used to drive it around. Zenophobia and a general mistrust of anything/anybody wasn’t a prerequisite for using it, fortunately.I think I’d much rather it’d been an Alfetta though. I know they’re all rare, but it's very odd to see one with single round lights.

That Alfa is totally lush. Anyone who prefers a Sherpa Coupe over that, especially with such a cool family history needs to be clapped in irons and lobbed off the humber bridge.

[Milford Cubicle]

Not really shite but for £2000 there can't be many more classy ways to travel?, I'd love to cruise about in this looking like a 70's vip, But what's with the snow on the ground in the photos?.

I think the snow is soapy foam.

[Spottedlaurel]

Very accurate Hirst. My dad got a hand-me-down 1.7 Ital when he joined a new company in 1985, then an Acclaim before getting his own, brand new Cavalier 1.6 (which I don’t think was even an L, it was either that or a 309 as I recall).In his previous company he had Guiliettas as company cars (was a small place and the boss was an enthusiast so entertained such things). The first one had a respray or some other considerable bodywork within its first two years, the next one did mega miles and was used for towing mini diggers, exhibition caravans and the like, which may be why it had to have some welding to the boot floor. I recall him tinkering with the ignition on it to try and get it running better, when it was well beyond 100k.

replacement cab? or dodgy ringer? dash looks right for a mk1 [/img]

Nice one Hirst! Still remember that TV programme that interviewed a load of reps in the early 90s, one was given a Maestro Clubman diesel and was absolutely mortified, another had a Cavalier SRI and wouldn't get out of the fast lane if the car trying to get past was of a lower spec!

That was on BBC4 earlier this year. Plonked it on DVD purely because of the near suicidal Maestro guy!

Cant you just stick MK2 front panels onto a MK1 Transit? Ive seen atleast 1 other with this conversion done.

[Ratdat]

Here's a similar effort I saw at newark in the summer...

1987 Austin Metro 1.0

 

"I brought it for a run around a couple of months ago and ended up giving it the rat look. Is a 1 litre and has only got 26500ishh on the clock"

 

"stripped out interior, afraid doesnt come with any seats unless someone can give me a decent offer with the bucket seats in before friday when they go"

 

Two months ago eh? Looks like you've done a bang-up job of looking after it, it looks really appealing now.

[Mash]

ROFLING at the sales rep stories!

[brammy777]

This rat look thing should make a car look like how it should, Metros wouldnt look like that.My college has genuine rat look Rover 100s.That metro just looks shit.

[Spottedlaurel]

That timber thing looks somewhat coffin-like at the rear:

 

 

Also, can this actually be verified? "The only street legal Mahogany and ash bodied coupe in the world" Is there some worldwide database listing the construction of every car?

1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 L

 

£350 BIN. In Bishops Stortford. They're always in Bishops Stortford.

 

1988 Peugeot 305 LD Van

 

Excellent! I know where there's one of these still in use by some local business. Not this one though, it's in Somerset.

[RedSparrow]

Re MetroAnother ruined motor. I don't see why people put things like 'rat-look.com' on their cars. If you have to explain it, it hasn't worked has it?It'd be like wearing a t-shirt with 'I am cool' written on it.Cocks.

[Guest]

1980 Ford Fiesta 1.1 GL

 

Bin the trims, go around with the wheel silver, apply trim rings, cruise around in style!

[trigger]

 

This sounds nice, Mk 2 Fiesta 1.1 Ghia auto with only 32k and a years MOT for £450ono, Shame about the crap photo but it's looks clean enough in it.

 

 

I'd quite fancy one of these to play around in at the moment, They have started to grow on my lately and this one sounds well looked after for the £595 price, Even had 11 months ticket on it.

[trigger]

 

These must be very rare, This one has only done 1096 miles from new!

[Milford Cubicle]

I would love a 305 van, they are indestructible.

 

Distance: 551.2 miles

 

Ah. And no T or T.
