Andrew353w Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Sorry this is a bit late, but where was that Renault 4? I'd commit unnatural acts to get hold of one! My late Dad had one some few years ago (during the Punic Wars it was so long ago!) 6 volts, 747 cc and 0-50 in about 3 weeks! 0-60 simply wasn't possible! If memory serves, there wasn't even a key for the ignition, just a switch on the dash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammy777 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Farms are brilliant places for laid up cars, I remember ages ago on my uncles farm there was a blue allegro and a marina, long gone now though. I know there is still a mini van somewhere (destroyed completely though) and a grey Ferguson Tractor. Actually thinking about it, up until 2005ishh there was a 1964 CLAAS combine still there, and my grans old Subaru, all i remember about it was that it was called a GL? Sort of looks like a hatchback GLF, and it was on a B plate. Brilliant car, shame it died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mash Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Can anyone tell me what this wagon is-I dont know and the owner had gone by then Ford Thames ET6, forerunner to the Thames Trader. That's an ex-Civil Defence control unit that would have been part of the mobile columns with the Green Goddesses. I've got a pic of a restored one somewhere....

Albert Ross Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 That mouldy Midi seems to have Carlton alloys on it......................A Factory upgrade or just a happy accident? No centre caps though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Vauxhall briefly made a super-obscure people carrier version of the Midi, they called it the Albany and it had those alloys as standard: I think the Midi was a six-stud wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
