mouseflakes Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 These two were mine and I've just sold the pair this morning, rather conveniently to someone local to me!Good news RD - that gets you down to a more manageable eleventy-nine cars to take care of Are we likely to see either of them back on here - or should we be looking on the RCCC forum?

dollywobbler Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Dear God. Is that really a povo spec Cavalier?! Don't think they even had passenger door mirrors. Convertible is very tidy. I like them, possibly even more than Harry Enfield, who has owned two of them.I'm still a little light headed after the Tatra mind. Nyom nyom!!

Triang Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Surley in the mid to late 60's they were all the same Lucas 7" sealed beams!You only had to tell a Police Wolseley 6/110 or Police Jag S Type ( in London anyway ) - Nothing else behind mattered.Also it was the relationship and distance ( and shape) of the sidelights and headlights that gave the game away quite easily - a Hillman Minx / Cortina / Jag / Zodiac all looked prettey distinctive.Now sidelights are combined with headlights is not so easy.

Chris_W_Q4 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm bidding on this Lexus GS300 Mk1 to replace the Primera.. I've asked a load of questions and it seems decent. Anyone have an opinion?

Out of our league though.Wooah, how bizarre I was convinced I'd seen this Marina before so I dug out the mag and found the website. Turns out it's a different one in a very similar setting.

I think they are pretty reliable though, rear legroom not what it should be - think XJ6. Personally I'd prefer an early LS400, but that's just me. That one does look nice and standard, does it have plenty of history? (I notice he hasn't filled in the "service history" box). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete-M Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think we should all chip in and buy it to keep as an Autoshite mascot. A little Pet Datsun. Excellent. I'll look after it first! I had one of those things, a red two door one. GNF 709N I think it was.Twas in my days of faffage, so I found a dead RWD Sunny, nicked the 1.5 engine out of it and bolted it into the 100A. Then it was quite good fun.I've only ever bought two cars for less than the value of the tax in the window. That 100A (£10 with two months tax and a few weeks MOT), and a Skoda Estelle that I bought at the auctions in '88 or '89 for £25 (including £15 auction indemnity thing). Skoda had 10 months MOT and 11 months tax. Cashing in the tax got me around £85 and the Skoda went across the bridge of no return for around £40.I almost feel guilty, but I was 18ish, I really didn't want to be seen owning a Skoda.. How things change, I can't wait to get Ye Olde Octavia back on the road this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
