That car, in those surroundings.

I want to go and live there, where those photos were taken.

That's stunning. Without even sitting in it, I just know that driving position is near-as-dammit perfect. What sort of ££ does that actually work out as? 

It is for sale for 20,000 NOK so about 1732 pounds. And it is fantastic could well have owned it myself but spare parts access is probably very poor and it is a deal braker for me.

Such a delicious slice of Datsun for not a lot of money.

Rural Norway is very nice and can highly recommend road trips here.

Yes this is a lot of car for not much money so am curious as to how long it takes before it is sold.

Strangely tempting French low miler, but £1000 too expensive. Required terrible photos present and correct.

Unicorn wedge action. Bit salty mind. Wolseley 18/22, 3 bags starting price. Wood, just because of the light up badge.

Very salty, especially given that it's basically a kit of parts you have to make yourself.

I want to drive that. All that's missing are furry leopard-print covers for the front seats.

R8 without the silver grill and with the extended indicator lights - the best looking ones IMO. Not too bad for £700.

Last night I chatted with our taxi driver about his adventures getting his late Dad's R8 back on the road. He'd spent £900 on brakes, wheel cylinders and a cambelt plus a patch of welding. Knew it wasn't worth it but it also kind of was. 

Agree early is better than late chrome on these

What is the fuel availability like? I would love to go and have an explore but get the impression that it can be quite car unfriendly and expensive over there

Fuel (petrol and diesel) is not a problem to get hold of. And are mostly the cities that are not so friendly to cars. In rural areas, petrol and diesel still dominate, and cars are vital there. And Norway is expensive but with a little planning it is possible to travel here without it being too expensive.

Cheap floppytop 306. In need of some tlc of course, but look at that interior!

A £450 Vauxhall, maybe a Signum or an Astra, can't really tell.

Going out to drink is expensive, so is eating out. So it is best to avoid in Norway.

How the hell do they keep old cars that clean? don't they drive them in Winter???

[Sham]

I believe they are a little like Poland, they rely on snow ploughs and winter tyres...  not covering the entire landscape in salt.

Though, I'm happy to be told how clueless I am.

Are you thinking about the last 2 cars I posted here? These 2 are probably so nice as they have probably been in areas with no road salt in the winter. Had one used these for a few winters with the road salting we have now, these cars would probably have been so rusty that they could not be saved and could only be scrapped.

seeing as a UK old car only has to sniff salt to dissolve, just seemed amazing as they were in great condition

Most of Norway is heavily salted now but areas where it is too cold are not salted. These areas are declining but still exist. And everyone drives on winter tires here and the roads are plowed as we usually get between 0,5 to 2 meters of snow in the winter some places even more.

Cars also rust a lot here now thanks to the road salting. So no one drives old cars in the winter if they want to take care of them. So they probably have not seen winter use in a long time.

Anyone in Fife want an MOT'd Smart car for £200?

I'm in the wrong job. Seems like you can earn £750 by driving a car 5 miles.
