i think i may need to have a cheeky dabble on the navy blue lexus.....

 

Do it! They are chuffing ace, I drove mine into work today and enjoyed it as much as ever. With the cam belt having been done and a new MoT this one would be a great buy for somewhere between £500 and a grand. Mine was at the bottom end of that margin, ostensibly with lower mileage but the history is dubious and it will need the belt done if it’s to be a long-term proposition.

 

1990s Toyota/Lexus build quality is really very good and there isn’t anything too complex to go wrong, unlike later 430 models. Control arms on the front suspension are probably the worst thing.

 

Befriend your local banger racers and you’d get yourself a source of parts, loads are being raced at the moment.

And something a bit unusual, a disability access vehicle for not too much moolah

I believe these Land Rover's are built to Laguna II levels of quality. This one's done 300k as a Recovery vehicle so will no doubt be completely trouble free*

On the plus side it's still got reflective markings and flashing lights, so will be safe when collapsed on the hard shoulder. Plus a built in plug to jump it.

Serious.y, I think something like this is like an old taxi- as long as it's treated gently by someone who's got a vested interest in it keeping going and never allowed to go cold it's fine, as soon as it starts getting normal* family use ( ie no mechanical sympathy whatsoever) it'll start going down hill fast.

mentioned to the domestic management about havin' a punt on the Lexus, which was met with some very positive noises.

A couple of coats of lacquer, some tyres and a light service would see that being clear "Captain_70s daily driver" material. I'd leave the loose roof bits flapping about, obviously.

 

Slightly unsettling is the price, I thought Avengers were still worth the square root of fuck all in sub-Tiger form...

An actual Polo Breadvan Van?

 

I think these should be missing though?

Its probably Irish - there was some thing whereby vans (even with seats in the back) were cheaper to purchase due to some tax law or something.

Re: yon Avenger - any idea WTF the thing with the roundel is?

Looks like an aircraft wing stored on its edge maybe?

i'm going to guess at its the wing off of a DH Vampire or a Venom.

 

but that is a full on guess.
