Right then you absolute mingebags.  Stop running about in shitty old nails that cost you 2 days pay and an ounce of belly button fluff and buy a proper fucking car already.

I don't care how much it is.  It's glorious.  And if you add up the amount of money you've wasted on totally fucked Citroens and utterly hopeless soviet junk - then you'd be most of the way to the asking.

Chop chop now.  Don't disappoint.

I had one of these about 12 years ago.  Not quite* as nice as that one but still a very pleasant thing to roar around in, as long as you didn't see your reflection in a shop window.

I paid £500 for mine.

This is the rub.  I remember seeing them at around the £795 mark and thinking "aye but the fuel".  How fucking ignorant was I? I was probably doing about 15k a year at the time and could easily have got a little runabout as well.  Wanker.

Still, I suppose - via man manths - you can still justify it.  Through the lense of "Old Skool Ford Yo" it's still not cripplingly expensive.  You can spend 3 times this on an old Escort which will, I'm certain, deliver under a third of the joy.

Another that I'd honestly own, I've grown a soft spot for them of late....

£1495.

Nice to see one that's not silver or black too! 

But I guess that after 19 years & 110k miles that the battery will be nothing other than a paperweight by now?

Thanks Skizzer, I'm not sure why I didn't think of that!

I thought the same Bo11, having looked I see now it was a B3 my mate had. £1200 doesn't look too bad but I can't imagine the market is very good right now.

Those b3s never seem to have attracted the usual braindead VAG crowd so have always been pretty cheap. I like them, though they're very German in a way I can't quite quantify.

The hybrid batteries in these things seem to last surprisingly well tbh.

This gold Maestro VDP fell out of the beige tree and hit every single branch on the way down.

Even the seat belts and their catches are beige. Top flippin darts, Austin Rover.

(Don’t look at the price btw.)

Do not paint.  Well alright, maybe the roof.

Actually the roof is the only original bit. Imagine an orange Interceptor: behold, The Gingerceptor.

Not shite money but not too stupidly priced for one of these.

Whoever Paul Banham is, he should be hunted down by wild bears, or given an Eichmann style televised trial.

He used to, maybe still does, make kit cars.

TT replica based on a Metro, the Banham 200 which is a Maestro based RS200. He supposedly was in possession of the original moulds - I nearly bought a partially built one from a guy I worked with.

That makes it sound like I am a fan of his shit, I’m not. It’s just some proper stuff is unattainable.

I fucking love the RS200.

Here’s mine ?
