I'd be amazed if it actually worked that slick. Or if anyone has actually pulled in a Corsa D. A very bizarre accessory that clearly nobody really bought...

Conversation at Lancia in the late 80’s:

” Hey Luigi , we don’ta have any budget for designing the new coupe, Cana we do it ourselves?”

” Si,  how difficult can it be to create an elegant coupe when constrained by using an existing floor pan?
“ Thatsa what I thought, these bastards at Pininfarina and Bertone have had their last Lira out of us, get your pencils out”

” Watcha this...”

Especially tragic considering what it could have looked like instead:

Lancia Kayak by Bertone based on the Kappa platform. Give it a little more rear overhang and it would have been perfection.

That's what I thought! The missing block might be an issue unless @Saabnuthas one knocking about, but even so that's a £5k job...

As it happens I do have a spare block, but £5k minimum. To fully restore that say goodbye to £20k plus, a lot of which will be postage costs from Sweden and the USA.

Plus labour.....

Lucky it doesn't need restoring, then. Tim Bishop engine, plus brakes and a good clean and it's good to go.

Given present prices that is a bargain. Not an S but still well worth the money they are asking. It’s gone bonkers, 5 years ago that was a £1500 car.

A Vauxhall that says 'HMP' on the number plates, and in later years some GM models were called 'Life'. Wonder if there's an Insignia 'Nonces Wing' or Astra '5 Years for aggravated burglary' due out soon?

After the success of regional variations of Monopoly,  Hasbro's 'Hungry Hippos, Tamworth' was less popular.

This has the benefit of the USP of a Darth Vader pizza in the spare wheel well
