That blue one is definitely giving me the wink Not at all judging by the previous comments on here. It seems reasonably priced and it is a Cavalier underneath, so should be simple enough. Bramz, this Hyundai looks utterly dreadful, but fulfills the brief perfectly. As a bonus, it comes with three spoke wheels, very patterned seats and the worst wood* trim I have ever seen fitted to a car (which is quite an achievement). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hyundai-Lantra-1-6-GLSI-Auto-Rare/283540711158?hash=item420457e6f6:g:5b0AAOSwFCddIjwB RobT, GrumpyCat, Burnside and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps not something I'd call odd, but they're very good 90s waft-o-barges and they tend to be dirt cheap.

AnthonyG Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 A Xedos 6 would be ideal, 90s, oddball, yet actually rather competent. Finding one for £500 that’s roadworthy might prove to be a challenge though. Schaefft, loserone and clayts450 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like a Potato. The best definition of the world “culture” I ever heard is “how you behave when you think nobody is watching you”. With the Potato- it’s like Toyota were trying really really really hard at the time to make contemporary cars that were a bit more stylish, we all turned our backs for a second and they reverted to type - succumbed to the addiction - and made the Paseo. want.

bramz7 Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Also my budget is equal to and less than £500, not £1k plus like some of the links posted above. No Toyota Picnics, the only MPV is an early 90s Espace. Bet you lot can't wait to see the inevitable French shed I end up with. Amishtat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the oldest left Sorry for Hijack, but woah that's early. Must be Jan/Feb build date, can't tell any more because ETIS has gone all GDPR. Possibly not the oldest left, but in the top 20. Shame it's a bit broken, but no rust in the MOT history at all - which is not untypical on low mileage early ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 My budget is £500 and below. And I don't want a crappy Escort. To be honest nothing is blowing my socks off. I'll probably just play the waiting game and hope that Espace I so dearly want appears eventually. And then end up buying something else.
