Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 GET ON THAT, DAN HIRST!If you buy a Daewoo Espero I will send you two packets of congratulatory Malted Milk* biscuits as a reward.It's quite nice, but unless I can get it for £150-ish, no chance. Otherwise I'm holding out for a top-spec one, despite that they really aren't that plush. I do genuinely like them though, not just in shite terms. The crisp Bertone styling is quite something, still looks quite fresh today. My dream garage will have a Daewoo Espero with (homebrewed) two-tone paint.Having said that, my dream garage includes a Toyota Carina E 2.0 CDX and a mid-90s Mazda 626 (5 door hatch with the mad rear lights and little spoiler), so that isn't a huge compliment.Re: the Charade, I nearly bought one of those once, didn't have a saggy roof like that one though. It's been for sale itself on eBay a bit ago, should be in this thread somewhere. No tax/test and they want daft money for it if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycox Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Is that Clubman really gold? Looks to me in the pics to be the same colour as my HL which AFAIK is 'Mace' (Brown)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The ebay chappie with the lovely low mileage cars also know the value of excellently taken photos aswell, they must add 20% to the value of his cars. Even if he goes overboard a touch with the descriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it was a CDX, seemed a fairly high spec and was in very good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Didn't those 626 dizzlers have slightly unusual engines? Wikipedia says nowt, but I seem to recall they were labelled D-CX, were they supercharged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia says nowt, but I seem to recall they were labelled D-CX, were they supercharged?Yup, they had a device called a Comprex, if memory serves, which was basically a supercharger. They were probably slightly less powerful than the average contemporary TD, but they had the advantage of no turbo lag. I think they're a rather good idea. In fact I've just bid on that one.

Spottedlaurel Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hey, I know that Piazza! Even featured as a spot of mine, was at a house where they’re into performance Japanese stuff. It’s probably sat less than a mile from where I am right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Phew! The Piazza went for £280, was it you Mr Scrap? Seems strong money for something with no T&T, either someone must’ve had a look and it’s OK or those LSD-equipped axles are really getting to be worth something to the Chevette and Manta people.

Spottedlaurel Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 GL and GLS spec Mk1 Cavaliers are very appealing machines IMO. Seriously considered buying a 2000GLS in bright green some years ago.Like Ford Ghias used to, they definitely look like a higher trim spec than base or L or whatever thanks to extra chrome, nice wheels etc. Difficult (for me anyway) to tell nowadays.

wuvvum Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 You're right - it's got a plastic body colour grille too, so probably a Series 2. I just thought the bumpers looked like they were chrome, but it might just be my crap monitor playing tricks on me. I still wouldn't chuck a Series 2 out of bed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give my left arm for this car - its exactly what I wanted! Unfortunately I already gave my left arm for the Mazda. Just as well its an auto then.The 1.6 SLX is the holy grail of Rivas, so expect some high bids. £620 already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
