Sold Daewoo Lanos. SELT

[Jim Bell]

You might remember this little cherry from Dollywobblers for sale thread.

Been sat, too good to scrap, somebody save it...........

I'm somebody!

But I cant really do it alone.

Trifector of Autoshiteists ASSEMBLE!!!

Dollywobbler! Provide a line of communication via one of the neighbours who you know very well and is lovely!

LordStirling! Do a collect. Then do a shakedown. Then do a report. Then do a deliver.

WilsonWilson, provide finance, moral support, worry and then declare triumph and take photos!


With our sexy powers combined we can hopefully do a thing.

This place, etc.

The boring bit happened off stage to the right. Lord Stirling did all of the hard work and spoke well of the experience gained behind the Juan Pint Sex litres of throbber right up the big road from Brum.

 

 

 

What an engine room.

[Jim Bell]

So today was delivery day. Met LS at big station for a swift coffee and handover. Didnt get any man on man pics because the station was full of partly undressed ladies and I had my mind on the obscene.

 

Filthy beater.

 

 

 

 

 

Gerald blue shirt cant help but have a look at it.

[Jim Bell]

After handshakes and bantz I headed orf home. Car drives canny, brakes canny, rides canny and is generally just an inoffensive small car.

 

 

Its got a manual drivers marrow and a electric passenger marrow.

 

Its got a grab handle on the passenger side but not the drivers side.

 

Conclusion: Daewoo have contempt for drivers and designed the Lanos to impress passengers.

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Other decadences include variable speed front window wipers.

 

 

 

 

Interior fabric harvested directly from the passenger seating of a Strathclyde passenger trasport ProLympic 500B school bus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Genuine low miles

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Look at it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[bramz7]

Huh, that actually looks well alright, and the seats look generously padded too. 

 

ZXs also had the manual drivers mirror, electric passenger mirror, I suspect due to it being harder to reach so add a fancy button and woooosh, convenience. 

[vulgalour]

The white car behind Gerald Blueshirt and Gerald Blueshirt clearly stole the design from Daewoo.

[Jim Bell]

Original dealer plates. Original keys.

One of the handy features is that you can take the alarm module out of the glove box and take it into the house at night so that nobody steals it.

Weve had one before so I was aware of how decent a car they are. The seats are very comfy indeed. Youll not hear a bad word said about Lanos's here. Theyre good little cars.

[Jim Bell]

Boot space is as you would expect, ample. Even has a Sony tape deck and a six disk changer tucked back here.

 

 

Thankfully theres no cartridge and it probably doesnt work anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I say thankfully because the volume control on the stereo is a bit Bipolar and sometimes it has episodes where the sounds get louder quickly, making the accupants get a bad shock.

[Jim Bell]

Billy no mates.

 

 

 

Best car in the street by far.

 

Thats definately going to be the Gumtree for sale pic.

[Lord Sterling]

They're great little cars. It's certainly felt a lot better after a good run. The first time I drove it after it had been standing for a while was a bit scary. I'm glad you like it, they really are decent little run abouts.

[BorniteIdentity]

The cockpit is very reminiscent of the last Camry’s and Corollas.

 

Enjoy!

[Pillock]

Canny.

It does feel like a small japanese car. Sure they must have half inched the switchgear from somewhere more prolific.

[egg]

Will Roffle well.

[Jim Bell]

Will Roffle well.

 

That is the long term plan. I dont have any need for it, it just needed saving. And making road legal. And having the cobwebs blown out of it.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Such opulence.

How on God's earth did you manage to get Conway Twitty shaking Hairnet's hand (or not hand, possibly) in that picture?

[Jim Bell]

Charm.

 

 

If you zoom right in you can see the pleats in Gerald blueshirts dress trousers straining against what I can only presume is a LANOS INDUCED MANS PENIS ERECTION.

[Jim Bell]

I dont think Ive ever had another car with a vertical-ish parking rear wiper. Its on odd choice for a rest position but it definately rests there.

 

[666jjp]

did LS not collect brown trout to get it further south?

[Lord Sterling]

did LS not collect brown trout to get it further south?

There was talk of this. But late planning plus and already-bought ticket back to the land of the Worcestershire sauce meant it couldn't happen.

 

I should have dropped it off on Monday and taken the BMW with me.

Please don't get killed by a Daewoo Lanos

Muthaflipper.

Read an article other day in a 1998 copy of Top Gear, Quentin was bemoaning about other dealers refusing to take a Daewoo as p/ex. They were certainly no worse than the Escort of the time.

[The Moog]

They look da sex. Nice shape.
