The rear badge starts off well, and then devolves into what appears to be my GP's signature.

I just like the use of two l/h (or are they r/h) clusters for both tail lights.

Tail light lenses (and most other parts) were unobtainable when I was involved with these 30 years ago and that was a very minor problem in the scheme of things.  It looks like a nice early survivor, but should anyone be thinking about it, just don't.

Probably going against the grain here, but it's eye-opening to see how Lancia could produce such a frumpy old lass whilst churning out something as gorgeous as the Fulvia at the same time.

That Renault is quite a find. Essex registration and a Grays MoT station way back

Full anorak mode here but @outlaw118 would the tester D. Catmore be Den Catmore that raced at Arena?

No longer available, so has it been sold already?

Considering the previous owners were unable to sell it at £2000 the last six times they listed it on ebay, it seems unlikely someone is gonna stump up four and a half large for the same car. The only person I know who has actually run these as 'cars' before reckons if you could get it for under a grand it would be worthwhile. Knowing all that, it's STILL tempting because you'd have to be a soulless cretin not to want to drive a Flavia

So after a house move I stared at this bloody thing for two years and I stuck it on the Facebook members group as a last chance saloon and it was gone for 400 quid in a day.

Clearly the guy has seen it up close and realised it's a shitbox and wants nothing to do with it. Although I am saddened as he owned a body shop and I thought that would be the place for its best chance of survival.

 

 

He's taken the autoshite sticker out of the back window.

Five grand for one of these Covin kit cars that use either a Volkswagen Fastback engine or (if my memory serves) a 1600 Escort engine?

As genuine Porsches like this seem to be worth more than Amazon’s weekly turnover, this could be a hoot to keep in ropey condition

I reckon so, seem to remember he was a half decent driver, but I'd retired by then and was only an occasional spectator because mortgage and new wife!

If it had lived in Grays, chances are the supplying dealer may well have been Tony Levoi who had a Renault dealership in Southend Road, Grays (where Fatha_Outlaw bought his R6) or maybe CP Smith in Hadleigh (fatha_outlaw bought his R12 from here as Levoi's sales manager was an arse)

I didn't know this about the 30. Are they an odd size or fitment or something?

No, it's availability of the rear brake discs. They're just unobtainable. I think there was a long-running thread a few years ago when a shiter was trying to get his 30 back on the road, but was defeated by the absence of any availability of rear discs. I'm not even sure if there's any to be had in Europe.

20s don't have the same problem, as they are disc front / drum rear.

Aha, I see. I guess that the solution is to convert them to drum rear
