VW Kombi market in London (1976)

[egg]

Nope, hadn't heard of this.

My mate got asked to film this amazing 'garage' find recently, he's now uploaded the video, it's definitely worth a hour of your time to watch

 

 

[CreepingJesus]

Some grossly unsuitable choices for a gravel road hillclimb, but it doesn't seem to stop them...😂

from 2:30, it's 1989 and Clive James goes on a hairy drive around Paris in a Citroen AX on loan from the company with novelist François Sagan. Both no longer with us.

More Clive James at the first 1981 Caesar's Palace grand prix, ends up doing a practice lap with Piquet chasing Andretti in Datsun Z car.  Concrete walls and few off zones...

Thanks for this, never seen it before. So Clive James supposedly learned to drive in a 'TWC.' Sir Stirling plays an excellent straight man too, what a delight seeing the old boy thrash a new XJ40 about.

The very same XJ40 used in a December 1986 road test in 'Motor' magazine uploaded to Flickr by @triggerI think...

Cameos from Blackadder, Prost/Senna and James Hunt too.

The celebrity race did seem like real racing too.

All in all an hour well spent

Nice......oh, it's mine! https://youtube.com/shorts/mazDdQa3CLc?feature=share

How many tonnes of drugs were taken during the production of this advert? 

So bad, it's good! 😂

Presume that was an RS2600 at the beginning.

The second is now posted.

 

[Aston Martin]

Just watch the first clip it's hilarious.... Apart from the poor sod who's E30 is probably a write-off.

Only if you get the Roy Hattersley puppet from Spitting Image and do the whole thing as him, Doug impersonations too, because that is the particular puppet that rubber faced clown reminds me of.

As it says in the title.  Bradford to Pakistan in Mk2 Transits in 1993.

The commentary makes it!

Sanctions push Russian auto industry to 'get creative'

Warning some Russian propaganda content from the factory guide.

Garage Elephant (1964)

 

[Jerzy Woking]

Interesting to see how bodged the Beetle, Morris 1000 and Fiat 500 were.

Really like Al's videos, nicely presented and he has a yard that I'd love to.rummage around in.

Blokes like him, with his knowledge and hands on skills, are a dying breed. Made more obvious when he says he cannot find a decent apprentice.

Not sure if £7,500 for that Moggy is priced right, but seeing as the structure will last another 50 years now, it might well be.

As the title states: How to kill yourself while welding

 

[sheffcortinacentre]

With someone mig welding in the background, real expert then.

Recovering Alvis Stalwart Left Abandoned For 15 Years.

A DS and a 1930's car also appear in shot. Almost hidden in the garage.

1978 Dealer team Vauxhall Chevette.

 

[egg]

Would, even though it's too big for the UK really and it looks like a big Mazda.

 

[MorrisItalSLX]

An interesting period comparison between the Mitsubishi Sigma (Lonsdale YD41) and Holden Camira (Vauxhall Cavalier) from 1982 driving both across Australia. Bonus Mercedes S123 content and a very 80s soundtrack.

The conclusion reached by the motoring experts is certainly different from that of the buying public.

Alvis Stalwart
Cool !

Nice Beaver.

The new Leyland Beaver articulated vehicle.
