I believe the bumpers were also used on Lotus Elans so there could be an instant bonus :)

My neighbours are cunts, they even complain if you park a Cinquecento outside because it takes up a space instead of a larger car.....

 

I always said if something big an unnecessary came up, i'd buy it for the shits and giggles for moaning at the small car taking up space

 

Maybe the day has arrived.

"Problem, m8?"

Don't wind the fella up.

Just buy something slightly larger than a Cinquecento.

Possibly a Fiat Panda? The owner of this one may take an offer?

'this car could, one day, be very valuable'[/size]

 

 

...but only after you've spent fifteen times what it's worth doing it up.[/size]

 

They'll never be worth what the DSs are worth. And I say that as a CX owner. The other problem is that DS survivors outnumber CXs here and have greater recognition - by contrast, only about 160 of all RHD CX types still on the road in the last year. Parts prices are (or will be) a major discouragement if your only source turns out to be CX-Basis.

 

Some of the classic car magazines have been talking up CXs since at least 2014, but that's had little or no discernable effect on values as far as I can see.

how delicious is this!

 

the price isn't but if it is the practically brand new car as it sounds, then ok.

 

and since friggin' escrots are now propper silly money then maybe thats now the going rate for a nice one of these.

Lovely 1964 Triumph Vitesse with a 1600 straight-6.

I've never heard one of these running and can't imagine what they'd be like to drive.

A smooth little short-stroke engine from 55 years ago.

Quite a stunning little car.

Oh, a local lad had that. Think he resprayed it (really) and knocked a few quid profit out of it.

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, in Nottingham. He's either dumped that and started cycling home (unlikely) or is about to stop and crack one off in the bushes (likely)

Interesting...

 

About 15 years ago, my dad had an Astra identical to this, the same spec colour, everything. At the time, he didn’t live far from Nottingham. I know it’s unlikely, but I can’t shake the feeling this might be the same one....

I can count 10 giffer trinkets on the Vitesse, including the radio ariel. They are ok to drive, nippy, plenty of squeaks and shakes because of the construction - they also have an odd fibreboard gearbox tunnel for added fun. Offset steering column I recall. This is an early one with the swing-arm suspension - can be a bit frisky and break away suddenly with sprited cornering. I had one. I would not have another. To me it didn't feel like a car - more a lot of components bolted together.
