I found my old MR2 on eBay today. It wasn't perfect under my ownership but at least it didn't hurt your eyes!

I'm actually feeling a bit sad seeing it looking like that.

"Bodywork done Professional on the most part
Total one off with creative imagination and bespoke design 
Jaguar E-type bonnet bulge
Great looker "

What a waste!

The inside looks like a halfords meme.

I don't understand the e-type bonnet bulge on a car that's supposed to look like a Ferrari. The engine isn't even in the front!

The more I look the more it hurts 🤣

The chrome arches and Fibresport body kit era was a thankfully short chapter in the customisation history books.

I had an  even later ex Police Mk2Granny, it was on a C Plate . A 5  speed manual 2.8 carb with no power steering. I lent it to a mate to take his caravan away to Devon and he got pulled on the M5, apparently his Mrs was cursing me because I was a dodgy fucker so it must be dodgy. Turned out the Copper just wanted a look and a chat, turned out he used to drive it when it was on the Force!

What on Earth happened to that poor Micra?

I bet it went into a streetlamp. Driver's head looks as if it met the windscreen with some force too... No seatbelt perhaps? It has done well for being such an early and high trim car too. I'm interested in this point though:

"doors open and close but are slightly misaligned"

Ah. I have a feeling that'll decide if the car gets preserved over what the owner wants. Still, everything apart from the front is in good condition; I'm after some interior trim panels myself...

I'd pretty much surmised it tried to wrap itself round an immovable object like a tree or concrete lamp standard, but it was the "cobweb" of glass at head height that made me feel a little queasy. I remember going to a local scrapyard (when the things were everywhere) with my mate to get some bits to repair his Capri after it had had the stereo nicked out of it when he'd gone to a nightclub; one Capri there had an 'interesting' fold in the roof at the windscreen aperture - and in those pre-seatbelt days, there was hair and blood on the headlining at that fold 😧

I have a photo of a roofless Bini I took at a scrapyard some years ago - shall we say it acts as a strong reminder not to be a dick behind the wheel.

He's a youngish rich weirdo with a bizarre collection of shite. Check out his IG page:

Interesting looking through his feed of all the old different cars he has - yet there is several MGB GTs in there. Despite a wide selection of nice machinery, the BGT was not only what got him into classic cars but also still his favourite car out of all of them. 

A man after my own heart. My BGT is still my favourite car out of all that I've owned and driven.

Folk on another forum wanting to know how a Trabby can get a MoT with its emission levels.

A very liberating experience taking a Trabbi for a test...  no engine management/abs lights, no emissions test, no engine oil/power steering leaks, no 'brake discs corroded'... on mine even the windscreen wash is manual (pump action!).

I'd love this! Always had a soft spot for the Mirage...

I dunno what it is, they just feel a bit oddball and shite next to its rivals! Yet so honest. And the colour really tops this one off!

Shame I'm not really in the position to get it otherwise i'd be all over!..."WBAC...how much for an Abarth 595?"
