I don’t care that it’s £10k, this looks spectacular

Agreed that it's a stunner and that price for such a rarity is largely irrelevant. 

However, the fact it's survived in the gorgeous Maltese climate for the last 40 years, only to be dragged to our damp, salty isle makes me a little sad. I always loved seeing the old motors when visiting Malta as a kid - it was great to see cars which had become rare over here due to rot. 

I'd be surprised if there are any mk1 Escrots remaining there by now.

That's silly cheap for a running and driving Vitesse. Last MOT ran out in 2015, so theoretically it's not totally rotten. Maybe.

I’ve noticed this as well. Malta isn’t a huge place, but in recent years, it seems like a huge amount of interesting old stuff is being brought over here from there. It can’t be long before most of it is gone. You could certainly make the argument that these old cars form part of Malta’s identity, so taking all of them away does seem a shame

Totally agree. Malta is a better place for them. Supply and demand wins though and the Maltese have clearly worked out it's financially rewarding to sell their non-rusty classics for large sums to deranged Brits!

You didn't build it, did you? 🤣 I'd love to know why someone thought it'd be a good idea to strap a hen house onto the bonnet.

I would like to imagine that there's a 6 litre v8 with supercharger, causing the need for the hen house but i doubt it. 

I just think it's so different and in your face that it deserves looking after.

Far less of an integral part of Malta's identity than the shonky old buses were, yet they were swept away pretty much overnight. Glad I got to experience it while it lasted.

This is without doubt the nicest Lesharo I've ever seen, and still only seven grand.

A decent chunk of money but I think it's a good price for a 840 sport. There's not much I don't like about this.

That is because Arriva took over the running of the bus services.

Plus buses also have to conform to the Euro emissions regulation(s).

We all know how much I would love either of those!  Not-painting is guaranteed too.  But, I'm at Fleet Maximum and Income Minimum so neither will happen.  Would be great to see them in the AS family though.  Anyone?
