I'd forgotten that wishy-washy green existed. Excellent choice on a brand new car. Like one of the colours you could get by mixing paints together when at primary school. Used to see it on the last of the Chevettes and early Astra Mk1s. Don't know what the colour was called but a strong Autoshite-beige challenger.

 

A Viceroy or Senator in that colour would be great!

Or a Vauxhall Royale coupe :-)

 

 

I'm colourblind! It looks beige to me!

This came up for 'sale' on the Dodge 50 FB group recently. Sold by a dithery-sounding woman who gave the impression that getting out of bed and standing up straight was a commitment she just wasnt in a position to make at the moment. Someone asked how much she wanted for it. Predictably she could not help him, and instead asked him to "stop playing hardball with her and lets just leave it at that"

Can't stop laughing at this. One of the most insightful summaries of buying/selling shit on Facebook I've ever read

Saw that Taurus thing myself in Suffolk back in 2012:

I've had a good week, and this beautiful '39 Buick is close to where I live. I'm going to keep an eye on that price.

Anyone still thinking of living in a van?

But of all the features found in motor-homes, you cannot beat having your own toilet on board.   Far better than risking some filthy service station convenience where you don't even know where the paper's been...

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME IN YOUR LIFE TO SIT UP LATE DRINKING AND BUYING CARS YOU CANT BUY, THEN YOU HAVE THE TIME TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE AND BUILD ONE THAT YOU MAY BE HAPPIER WITH. A TALK WITH YOUR GP MAY HELP HERE. THERE ARE ALL MANOR OF SERVICES OUT THERE.

 

 

I’ve already replaced it with a boring modern euro blob so I do need it gone. Has to be saved, these are very rare now, especially in standard, un ruined spec. Will be worth a lot of money in coming years! Fast Fords always go up and up!!

 

 

Well that's us fucked then.

I might be wrong but it looks like its not a tilt cab so you're stuck with a carb, points and 10mpg. Skilful use of a horse as a letter 'R' there too

Would it still be a 3.3 Cresta engine in one this late, or would it be something completely different?  Senator 3.0i perhaps?

 

 

On the subject of old horseboxes, here's one of those weird Mercs with no front overhang.

The colour was called Reed Green. Spent many hapless hours potching up the front wings and arches on my ex's Chevette back in the early nineties. They all had matching green interiors for the extra win!

This is quite nice eh. To my eyes the wooden bodied trucks look a bit more rustic and less like a flippin blot on the landscape. Dont tknow that I'd fancy piloting one of these things to spain and back every year though

You'd only have to do it once if you plan it right and get a film crew to follow you as you have an adventure, shades of Cliff Richards' Summer Holiday with a bit of Oz Clarke wine tasting and Rick Stein al fresco cooking, visit incredible undiscovered locations and ad a bit of surfing so that when you get back you can sell the film, set up a company doing similar conversions which you get someone else to manage while you fly off in the private jet that you've bought off the back of it.

Its been asleep in France for 40 years apparently. A mate had one like this, it cost him £40 in 1977 but it had an 1198 engine from an Anglia 'Super'. Unsurprisingly, it was horrible to drive and also wasn't worth £10,000.
