If anyone does it buy it, there's a 'hack' where you can buy side panels from Temu or somewhere that are pretty close to the Honda ones you can't get now.

It's got a pit bike engine (which in a way is a bit of a shame)  but what a classy little runabout that is.

Something odd with that, I don't think that cab ever had Iveco badges but it was built as a Zastava. But not in 1990, apparently. What an oddball. Probably unique here. 

 

Still see the odd one or two in Italy wearing Fiat or OM badges. 

Resident Zastava licker, reporting for duty!

They kept making them until 1990, so it’s not impossible to be one of the very last ones. I think that some of the late ones did have Iveco badging as well, so it’s not entirely impossible that this one came with this grille from factory. 

It possibly lost Zastava badge when they added that HARKNESS sticker to it, as it went over the badge.

Mother in law had a 1.1 Forte from new BN02 XGG I seem to remember the steering was quite heavy for such a small car

Its odd the whole classic american thing, these types of postwar US cars are worth more here now than they are in the states, by quite a lot. And the malaise era of mid 70's to mid 80's is worth far more here than they seem to be in the states. Well worth importing again, which when i last looked into it in the mid noughties, it totally wasnt.

However it is

"a no-brainer INVESTMENT - THESE CARS WILL ONLY GO UP IN VALUE!"

'i bought this like this for a scally rally' 

No idea what a 'scally rally' is, but if it involves an overseas crossing, I hope the fucking rolls off the boat mid-way across the channel.

scally (at least in Torbay where a lot of them used to flock down to overwinter in B&B and Wetherspoons) is a derogatory term for a Scouser.

Quite where you'd rally to from Liverpool I have no idea? Birkenhead?

(sadly, while finding those jpegs I found a youtube video entitled FITTING A VAN SNORKEL FOR BETTER AIRFLOW - something I'm 99% sure, is not what they're for)

Scrolling up the page (yeah, I know, weird) I thought you'd added in the nudge bar and side steps/sliders. Then I see you didn't. Wow. I mean why?

The scallies come up from Bootle on miseryrail's northern line to Freshfield on a Bank Holiday, walk down Victoria Road past all the houses with more security than Ashworth High Security NHS "prison", throw unsuitable food to the none existent red squirrels before spending the day of the beach, behaving in a manner not becoming of gentlemen. As night goes down they set fire to the rubbish bins to keep warm and end up stabbing each other or falling into a still hot bbq, before getting the train home, as the cars they want to joy ride are locked behind a 10 foot high wall with dogs roaming the grounds. 

Have I stereotyped them well enough. 

Other bank holiday destinations are available to them. New Brighton, West Kirkby, Southport, Ainsdale, Waterloo.

In fairness, the mods already made to it seem 'tasteful' and subtle. E.g. halogen spotlights instead of some daft LED bar which would be out of place. Actually looks pretty cool imho.
