Barry'd from the factory


FakeConcern

Recommended Posts

I know that with the black Team Dynamics Pro Race wheels & Longlife exhaust many AS members think of my C4 VTS as being Barry'd. However to me plenty of cars look Barry'd from new, here are a few I can think of........

 

Obviously Rover BRM

I have had a BRM and it did have a lot going for it. I wouldn’t say it was that barried as it followed the paint scheme from the team.

 

The alloys are quite literally the greatest alloys Rover has ever pushed out too- 16” cosmos. It had the 143bhp 1.8 k series which was also in the 200vi, which before the zr came out (which was a barried Rover 200) the range topper until they tweaked it a bit and got 160 break.

 

It came with full red leather, which was actually quite nice, a lovely shade of green that was a bit darker than BRG, cosmos, the orange grille and also it had LSD fitted in the PG1 gearbox. It was quite a rapid little thing really and as it was before project drive Rover didn’t scrimp on the extras. It had everything on it available. I think only a few thousand were made and although they suffered from rusty arches I predict they will bring good money in a few years.

Just because they are good doesn't mean they don't look Barry'd!

Why is that Rover wearing lipstick?

No clue why but Ford have a penchant for Fiesta vans with warm hatch bodykits, as well as the XR2-esque above, they've made a couple of vans recently with Zetec-S bodykits:

needless to say they're extremely uncommon, and solid gold OSF/future shite.

The Ford Focus 'Collection'

Different bumpers ('sport'/splitter type) and I think interiors were different to the norm. Some wanker in Chester has two (not the actual ones above) of these cars!

Yo Billy, I can't believe you're waffling on about a Ford Focus, when clearly you should be waxing lyrical about these:

 

Vectra_Supertouring_web.jpgVectra Supertouring - apologies for the scene of 6 but I couldn't find another image I could post. Bottom right and bottom left is how they were sold, though I think it's safe to say there weren't that many of the former versions left showrooms like that.

 

Volvo did the same at the time with a touring car liveried S40 - a 2.0N/A  I think, rather than a T4. As above, available with stickers, or a solid colour (again, white from memory). Both versions had tasty aftermarket wheels and side body skirts with aftermarket supplier 'shopping list' stickers, which looked particularly bizarre on the non-sticker one. Only ever saw one (without the stickers, natch.)

Nearly every 'fast' version of a standard car, ie. those not originally designed as a sports car. Ford have been screwing on unnecessary bits of cheap plastic crap for years:

Worst of all, this:

 

New-Transit-Custom-Sport-Frozen-White-L2

 

It's like a fat bloke in a tracksuit.

 

The Japanese are also pretty experienced in this:

Even Citroen aren't immune:
