MarvinsMom Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/776191616211819/ i so, so wanted a Mini 30 when they were new, but in 1989 i was 15 so that wasn't really going to happen. i think they did 1000 in black and 2000 in the cherry. which i prefer if i'm honest. i wonder if its still got its Mini book and Corgi Mini pack with it? unlikely i suppose, but i have one upstairs in a cupboard.

I saw it in Bury, I think in the very late '90s: 1986 Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo 3dr! (T12) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1986 Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo 3dr! (T12) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Eventually I found out more about it, and it transpired that it was this very Type Approval car, I have a photo of it before it even got registered: 1986 Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo 3dr (T12) by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr I’m going to say that it’s highly likely it’s the same car. It had been crashed into the field opposite the Gorse Ind. Est. by the scrapyard owner following a high speed run down the lane, I can’t remember it wearing any reg. plates when I saw it atop a stack but the colour and trim in your photos are the very same as the beaten example I saw. The car in the woods looks like it has some dents on the C pillar, maybe obtained in an arse-over-tit foray into the Barnham countryside..??? I’m just elated to know it may have evaded fragging so far. Spottedlaurel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 That Bluebird really wants saving... I wonder how fucked it actually is? I'm guessing very. There are enough common-or-garden hatchbacks out there to provide all the bits, I'd have thought, though. Shame if it makes it this far in life and ends up as bean tins.

From what I vaguely remember from discussions when @Spottedlaurel first posted his pictures online, I think this is the only 3dr that was actually sold here. I had no idea they even existed until I saw his pictures. I'd like to think somebody has the foresight to save something unique like this.

I have one neighbour with a blue 206 and one with a blue 207 and the 206 not only looks younger, I’d argue it’s the best looking car in our car park.

jumpingjehovahs Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Anybody fancy a bus with no engine? If that doesn't sell it to you, it's also an IVECO. Listed conspicuously as "Mr" in the ad title and has 0 bids so could be a bargain for someone looking for an ambitious project or a bus to convert into an airbnb. One of the more restrained seat coverings I've seen in a coach too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mr/184302911736?hash=item2ae94f40f8:g:CNoAAOSw3wZeySv3#viTabs_0 spartacus and BorniteIdentity 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vicar Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-FIAT-PUNTO-1-2-AUTOMATIC-SPARES-OR-RE Apologies if we've had this already - I've fallen behind on this thread and need to catch up soon.
