the not MOT since 2017 is giving me the fear, but I totally would otherwise, an FX4 is a vehicle I would dearly love to own/experience someday

however sadly logistics just make it a non-starter,  mainly the parking situation here which ignoring the fact that its 1 car per resident, is emissions/engine size based with a diesel surcharge, so while say @wuvvum's Citroen Visa  would cost £130 to park for the year, this FX4 would cost me £723!

and the council have a 5 year plan of price increases where also the diesel surcharge goes up £50 a year so by 2027-2028 the Visa would cost me £147, but an FX4 Fairway would cost £1243!

Why the fuck are we putting up with this bollox.

The emissions-based parking charges?

A 'carrot and stick' effort, to encourage residents to move to having vehicles that produce less CO2 and/or using public transport instead, I guess. More 'stick' than 'carrot' IMHO...

Here's an unusual one - diesel Starlet.

s-l1600.webp

With 54bhp and an auto 'box I can't see this winning too many traffic light Grands Prix, but could be a pleasant thing to bimble around town in as long as you don't live in a ULEZ zone.

Bloody Norah it's a Perkin's engined AWD! Weren't these the 'buy out' version of the Bedford?

6 stud wheels=7.5 tonnes, I think.

I had a saloon version. Wanted one for years, never have I been so underwelmed

When my Euromillions numbers come up I'm going to buy one of these and fit the supercharged version of the Ford V8.  That would make it the car it always should have been, rather than something that would struggle to see off a ZT190 costing 1/5 of the price.

They wanted to do that but it's physically to big due to the twin can heads.

I'm sure MGR got as far as the prototype stage but went tits up before they could get it out so I  assume it all fits. 

Distinguishable by bigger arches.

What's up with this? (apart from it not being fit to wear the badge)

I think it's the drum section of 'Billy Don't Be a Hero' by Paper Lace.

Very good. I wonder if the dealer* has tried changing the coil pack?

Sounds like the dance remix of Mouldy Old Dough by Lieutenant Pigeon too...
