^^ the Granny Mk2 does have MOT until Nov 16, not expired Nov 15 as per advert (shhh). MOT history suggests a load of underseal. This looks a little bit exciting. Save it from the oval someone!

 

Howmanyleft suggests very few remaining (1 licenced, 2 SORN). Should almost get as much love as a Sierra base.

 

(re: the uno van,it is a defo 'rolls eyes' situation)

That Wartburg is another 4cylinder 4 stroke imposter. Boo.

That Gardner engined Foden: those headlights are huge, I never noticed them on any other trucks of the day. My head wants to assume they are 7", which would make for a very small Foden but they must be at least 10" diameter.

If I was an East Coast based shiter with Cortina proceeds in my pocket I'd be asking someone local to have a butchers at how solid it is.

If only an Austrian Granada Perv lived nearby!

 

 

Would you like me to check how fucked it is?

That RR Allegro isn't worth £1500 in the current market. The problem seems to be with rare, unusual BL stuff and similar is that some wally will chance their luck with a nice one for £4000 or whatever, and as there's no other benchmark for other vendors it bogusly dictates the market. You'll end up with 3 or 4 for sale at silly money for months on end until someone has a reality check or goes tits-up.

 

The allegro vandom plas (and any other allegro and most 70's and 80's BL product come to think of it) is/are rare because they were shit and overpriced and shit and they were unreliable and shit and rusty and shit and uneconommical and shit, and used technology which was undeveloped and yet old fashioned and shit and so those that did get bought, were mostly scrapped, because they quickly were worth nothing.

 

Just because it's rare, doesn't mean it's worth owning. Like Polio.

lucky for me i've had my polio, diphtheria, tetness and other jabs as required, and i would love to own an allegro/maxi/marina/princess etc cos i like them.

 

but the beige one above is not one for me, there is just too much wrong with it.

Here's another one of those "Only one in the country" train RV's. It could be different to be fair but I can't be arsed to check.

I saw that Focus parked in Cambridge today. It looks terrible in the metal.

 

The blue paint is so flat I think they used poster paint from a kids art set.

This looks like it's still in the car park of the Duck & Bastard where it received it's thick lip after a fight with that Corsa

Those front fog/spot lights must be handy for illuminating the inside of the bumper.
