Post-war pre-war car @83C ?

The Riley RM range is the only pre war style of car that I absolutely adore.  In the top three of cars to own when I have enough moolah.

When I was at college back in the early '80s there was a bloke who had two of those in that colour. He was an early shiter and took great care of them.  As the car is in Kent I wonder if it is one of his.

Isn’t this worth it just for the 1.8t conversion? 
I’m no expert but this has got to be a great way of getting a 1.8t engine conversion and all the bits

Yeah, a 1.6 Zetec mated to Ford's finest slushbox. Must be absolutely fuckin rapid off the line m8... 

I have a Focus Titanium 1.6 with an auto box, it handles great, but is so slow the chassis is hardly challenged. On inclines on the motorway the thing downshifts to 3rd if you are going at 70, it is out accelerated by anything with more than 1 litre under the bonnet, and to cap it all, if you drive it with even the slightest bit of enthusiasm, it bare does more than 25mpg.

That's just part of its green credentials, it's shedding weight to be even more efficient.

I like that but many will not. In it’s defence, I expect it was rotten as a pear before the modifications.

But all of that work and then fit a fuck-awful four-cylinder VAG Diesel engine?

Have we had this beauty yet? It's identical to one my parents neighbours owned in the mid 1980s, complete with back seat. I remember the fella saying at the time it was an unusual one because of the interior setup. I didn't realise it was a specific 'Double Plus' model though.

I've many happy memories of bouncing around in the back of my mate's mum's ropey ex AA H.A at a similar time in the 80s. 

Want.

IIRC it was cheaper road tax if a van rather than an estate, hence seat in back but no rear side windows.

Oh dear 🤯 lovely. I miss mine. I really need to get back into a nice petrol car.

Ma is no longer in the IoW sadly. Retired from the NHS about a year or so ago. I picked her up from there when she finished, she's back in Brum town now.

Lots of E280 estate, this one is exactly the same as my old one. I really want one again. Might hit him up and see if he'll take a Pug 407 in PX.

Think the seat in the back was a basic option as we had loads of these at work in the late 70's and they all had that.

Potatographed Anglia van, anyone?

Ford Anglia Van | eBay

There's a fairly simple* way to buy it, involving flying to Portugal, examining it, paying two different people, flying home, then going to Birmingham to pick it up weeks later.  So, in a nutshell, it involves going to a strange land where you can't understand the locals, putting yourself at the risk of being bummed/mugged/used a drug mule AND you still have to also go to Portugal.

Neither's Birmingham, M8

Doesn't say so, but this must be the THP version (think Bini, Pug etc) rather than the  EW10J4S ones I and @Daviemck2006 had.

Both very few and far between now, How many left reckons 91(petrol engine) on the road and 69 SORN (I still have the one @Daviemck2006owned on SORN)
