Really cannot fathom why people show the V5C number and the reg plate in the pictures. They can hide their address all they like, but someone bent could soon apply  for the log book in a spurious name and address and fuck things up.

You'd struggle to get 40mpg out of one of those on a commute.  Frugal they are not.

Still a lovely old thing though.

Oh I wouldn't daily this. Wouldn't be able to anyway as my everyday insurers are very peculiar about stuff over 25 years old.

The two most important features of a British holiday? A television and a damp patch.

The clutch in Beetles made my knee hurt when I was young and healthy but I could never find one of these "Automatics"1990660013_Screenshot2020-01-23at21_19_31.thumb.png.0d085804d48f766a5429038438a892c2.png

Not an auto at all but a 3 speed manual gearbox plus a torque converter with a suction operated clutch. That is the suction valve next to the coil. I think the oil filler on the right is for the torque converter fluid.

Would, for old times sake, if it was cheap enough to throw away when all of the wob falls out of the door pillar.

Don't be too disappointed if you pull that bog handle and don't plunge down into a huge turd filled black hole,  Colchester is only 35 miles away.

How long before this ends up in some swanky area being run by a hipster bearded, tofu knitting lentil botherer selling ethically sourced fucking jacket potatoes?

Always liked these Allegro Estates with their curved rear side windows, and the lip on the end of the roof which looks like a Duck fin spoiler.

Thought this may interest a few people, this is more of a "the one that got away" moment. I found this a couple a months ago, it's been sold now but the listing is still up on Car & Classic:

It's a '78 Viva GLS, which I quite liked the look of. Nice beige interior, original paint. After it was sold, I took my eye off it, and continued looking at other HC Vivas for sale.

Now to the present. Whilst I was looking through eBay listings for old car magazines, I came across an edition of Autocar from February 1979, which caught my eye as it had a Renault 18TS on the cover. Looking through the photos that the seller had put up I came across a page which had a picture of the 1979 Vauxhall range.

As shown, all the cars have AVS plates which caught my eye. I remembered seeing something which also had an AVS registration a few months back, so I searched through a folder of mine which had pictures of cars for sale that caught my eye, & realised that AVS 39T was part of the Vauxhall press fleet at one point, as seen in this promotional photo!

I'm always quite interested in press cars, and I have seen a few come and go on eBay and other websites, so missing the chance to buy this one has annoyed me a bit, if only I knew then! The listing didn't state that it was ex-press car funny enough, & I couldn't find any different photos after searching up the reg number, so I wonder if the new owner knows about it's past.
