eBay tat volume 3.

Very odd looking thing, bonnet badge and wierd front lights suggests South African, and something tells me this may be an ID rather than a DS - not going to put money on that though.

Early Clio in dollywobbler land. Notable for being a 1.8 RT on nice alloys (best wheels for a Mk1 Clio IMO).

Oh, and leather..

Failed MoT on some minor stuff.

I agree with Bol, that looks great. I've got a Mk1 Clio light stalk knocking around here somewhere, and the play in the steering is likely to be this:

...a very common fault, and easily fixed with a sparkle stick, apparently. I'd buy it myself if I had a way to tow it. Anyone local got some storage space and an A-Frame?

 

Edit: is 225 miles too far to drive for a pre-booked MOT, I wonder...

This is a Consul Conundrum for me

I've always wanted one of these, and this is only the second one I've seen here. But  it would be deeply irrational to buy it. And it looks like it has one of those plastic front wings....I bet its a wreck really. Isn't it

 

And its on an island as well

As I always say...

 

It is the job of the police to enforce the law as it stands, not to interpret it however they so wish.

 

You'll be fine.

A very good friend of my mum had one from new. He never drove it, it was always garaged and had blankets over the seats, and he cycled to work in the hospital. When he retired in the 80s my mum did a tapestry for him including his Capri which she had sat in as student in the 60s. It was his baby really. Anyway, when he died with no family my dad thought he'd offer something for the car ( mid nineties now). Turned down by the executor saying it had to go auction. But it didn't, and the brother of the executor bought it for a song.

I have all his chemistry text books but it's still annoying that we don't have the car because of a fiddle.

All DSs had those extra lights. Smiths dials and leather make it a Slough car, but I think it's a manual DS rather than an I'D which makes it quite a rare thing. Can't actually see if it has a clutch pedal or not so maybe not.

That gear lever sprouting from the top of the steering column says semi-auto to me.  Same setup as the Pallas I had.
