A second gen Alto is like a Rolls compared to these things. Noisy, flimsy rubbish that breaks often, and driven by either 86 year olds who are almost blind, or 16 year olds who think slapping stickers and a wing on a 5 bhp diesel microcar and then driving it as fast as possible is really cool.

Well whodathunkit, another shonky red '80s diesel Peugeot.

Could go in the cars you didn't know existed-thread as well, I guess:

Look at this little sweetie in the parts section - buttery biscuit bASe miniMetro.

Dare I say it, not too unreasonably priced by today's standards given its apparently pretty sound condition.

That lorry horse post has killed me. I’m not sure if I dare look at it again.

Life's cruel.  One day you're a Hampstead socialite and the next you're a ULEZ Refugee.  MOT'd.  £650.   https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202109087136330?advertising-location=at_cars&make=Saab&postcode=rg278ag&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&radius=1500&sort=price-asc&include-delivery-option=on&page=1

Seems decent enough for the money. Let's see what the advert text can tell us about the car...

This is the Highlight edition complete with pink and purple spots on the white hub caps!

... and that's literally it, apparently.

I like it, looks like it's sprung, perhaps it's a pedestrian trap

This looks like the BP station on the Finchley Road going towards Swiss Cottage...

I wonder why? Just no market for Tempras? Looked at the MOT history, doesn't seem to be anything too horrific on there, aside from a little welding in 2018.

I would guess people are nostalgic for tipos and unos. But maybe the tempra was never common enough to get a big following. The cluster is damaged and I spent a few minutes looking around for a replacement (I would just swap out the cover) but had no luck finding a LHD one. 

I bet if it had the digital dash It would have sold by now as people would that! 

[Soundwave]

Well. This is apparently a thing that exists. Although with that GT6 engine it probably sounds quite beefy.

Unsurprising - was at £350 with a short MOT on it.

The Mrs took her test in one of these, same colour AMU 414 H she passed first time! Might have been something to do with she fact that she was nearly  9 months pregnant and the examiner was terrified that she would go into labour any second and wanted out of the car!
