Beautiful colour car but it may be hard to find an interior. Yes, should have 'low back' seats with stobe effect and the early headrests. That interior is from a 1983 onwards model. Also should have twin wide coachlines and not a rubbing strip. Like this... It's still an applejack Metro though, so can be forgiven most faults!

TooManyPeopleMovers Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 A very tasty 1965 Austin 1800 Mk1 - another tempting Kiwi classic. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=2634085437 For a 55 year old car it looks in surprisingly good condition. I suspect it has spent a great deal of time in a dry Canterbury garage, not just since 2012 as the listing states. That would explain the lack of rust (part from the surface rust in the engine bay). I wonder how much work someone (me) would be looking at to recommission this as a daily driver? Vantman, DSdriver, Amishtat and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadhg Tiogar Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Release your inner "Wuvvum" with this delightfully shonky S2 GTi Turbo 2 for a bag and a half - it even has a dented driver's door. EDIT to add: this is one car that would look well resprayed in Cassis Nacre / burgundy or one of the bright blue shades that CXs had in the late 1970s. Black would be a waste. somewhatfoolish, wuvvum, Lacquer Peel and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking exactly the same, with so much uncertainty over jobs, potential reduced earning and almost certain recession looming You would think prices would drop sharply. The only explanation I can think of is that people are having a lot of time to reflect on what is really important and life must be lived when you get the chance. Life is too short to be driving horrid new cars? carlo, spartacus and Austat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be the heat, it may be cabin fever, but I'm not going to let this slide, like I normally would. Have we met? Would a "knucklehead" be a branch manager for a bank at the age of 28? Would he/she have numerous professional qualifications? As to the 'shiters that I've met, did you notice my knuckles dragging on the ground? Was I wearing Rigger Boots? Was I breathing through my mouth? Did I arrive at whatever meeting point in a Ford Cargo with a hiab on the back, and proceed to lift a Horsey Horseless onto the back? The answer to all of these questions is a no....I hope. If you want to stop "Banger Racing Knuckleheads" buying a vehicle, then bid higher. But you wouldn't know about that as you don't actually own a car. So you sit on the sidelines wringing your hands and bleating like a new born lamb, while doing FUCK ALL about it. If you think I'm picking on you, WOTEVS. You're just the latest in a long line of people on here with the same blinkered view. I could regale you with stories of DONATING ie giving away usable parts to owner's clubs, and actually NOT racing stuff that was deemed too interesting. But you don't want to hear that do you? Sure, there's an element within the Banger world who are dodgy, theiving moral-free shitbags. But that's the same in REAL life, and tarring everyone with the same brush can get one into a lot of trouble, and is discriminatory, at best.
