When did you last see a......

[Timewaster]

A thread for all those cars that quietly disappear one by one until you realise that you haven't seen one for ages.

 

To get started, when did you last see a MK1 Vauxhall Tigra?

 

I really liked them, funky styling and cool wrap around rear window but marred by porridge Corsa underpinnings.

 

Then the Puma blew it out of the water.

 

 

Remember the ads with Harry Enfield voice over?

 

"People who fold their Jim jams - they won't like this at all."

 

"The Tigra from Vauxhall. Fun, if you like that sort of thing".

Alfa 155 

[Aston Martin]

I saw 2 Tigras the other week and a 155 V6.

 

(I drive too much.)

A 1990's Sigma, coz I never have , 70's ones seem quite common but 90's ones never ever

[SierraMikeHotel]

A really clean-looking Vauxhall Chevette caught my eye in the background of the last Prime Suspect I watched. Filmed in 1995 and they were still everywhere then, totally disappeared (dissolved?) by now.

[Mr Bump]

Don’t seem to see any Vectras round here

[Asimo]

Audi Coupe. The dumpy one between the quattro-shape and the TT.

Are they all hiding in barns awaiting their moment or did they get scrapped because they were so dull to drive?

[155V6]

Fiat Coupe

[burraston2006]

Jag XJ series 3 or an XJ40. They were everywhere and you could pick them up for less than a bag. Decent ones are on the shelf next to the rocking horse poo!

[Sheefag]

Mitsubishi Galant

[Doctormop]

Hyundai Accent 1.5 MPI coupe.

[danthecapriman]

Ford Escort mk5 on. There must be more of the earlier models running around now than later ones. I’ve not seen one in ages.

 

Possibly no bad thing!?

[omegod]

Gilbern Invader, used to see them regularly for some weird reason 

 

Mk1 Meganes are getting thin

[Junkman]

Fiat Multipla.

[eddyramrod]

Gilbern Invader?  There's one round the corner from here, a white one.

[RayMK]

Hyundai Sonata, mid 1990s type.  I had one in 1992 and another in 1996ish.  They were never common, but I used to see the odd one until about 2008, then they all vanished.

[Ghosty]

Kia Shumas.

[MiniMort]

Fiat Idea

[eddyramrod]

There's another that lives near me, a pale green Idea.

 

See, this is where they're all going.  Haven't seen one for a while?  Come to Barrow!

[Fumbler]

Haven't seen a BX in a while.

[HillmanImp]

White dig poo.

 

In an Astra f.

Saw an estate R-reg one in gold today at the supermarket.  Was stunning*.

[JJ0063]

[Aston Martin]

Ford Fusion

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Corollas like Pandas type were still fairly plentiful 6-7 years ago. They were so well built, but unvalued street furniture.

Unusual sight now.

[tobyd]

340 volvo. not seen one all year.  Rust and driftyo may have claimed them all.

[MarvinsMom]

fat arsed renner migraines.

 

and leguna's, though i think the remaining early versions of these are now within the AS fold.

 

mark 1 ford focus and mark 1 mondeo's.

 

ALL vectra's and omega's. 

 

shame as the omega was a FINE automobile, just hampered by having the "wrong" badge stuck on it

[Felly Magic]

There is a green mk1 Tigra seen almost daily round here and it is fairly tidy, I think it belongs to a lass who works in the local chemists

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

Yet to see another one since I bought this last year.
