Grumblespeed Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 My old car - price has shot up tenfold since I let it go as a MOT expired project in need of tlc a couple of years ago, although I'm not quite sure just how much "projecting" has been done, It was MOT'd 5 days after I sold it and has been through 2 owners between me and this dealer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1994-Fiat-Panda-999cc-FIRE-Colour-Edition-Twin-Sunroof/154409536079?hash=item23f3868a4f%3Ag%3Aa9gAAOSwcdZgcfiV&fbclid=IwAR2YS3LWCFG6KAOkeN1ohLb6kR1NiW03ocDO14t8eFV6i52VUdm-Qe8e0Fo spartacus, Aston Martin and Remspoor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I've decided/convinced myself the next classic I buy has to be a Mini. This may or may not be because of all the mini chatter on here recently... I've figured that they're expensive but at the same time still not ludicrously expensive. Prices are all over the place for them too. I really would like a pre-80s on skinny wheels and certainly no plastic arch extensions. Likewise it has to be a full runner and not a project. I've got far too many of them! This in particular would be lovely to own, especially as it has many of the original Issigonsis quirks. I wonder what he'd class as a sensible offer...https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1298927 Of course what I'll probably end up doing in practice is buying a post-80s example with shit paint and metal weak enough that a finger will poke through. But of course I'd have got it "cheap" 😆 eddyramrod, Remspoor, spartacus and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 13 minutes ago, Asimo said: Clubman Estate or long gearlever with starter button. Elves and Hornets if you must but everything else is fake I probably could push to have a Clubman as it's still a mini but I don't know if I would want a Riley or Wolseley. Has to be a proper mini with plenty of factory chrome garnish. Yes they're "boringly" unoriginal and clique classic car, but I'm realising that's the type of classic car I most enjoy. Especially as I'm coming to terms with the fact that I like pre-80s British cars the most. Especially from the BMC and later BL factories. In particular the 60s to 70s era sports cars (BGT, Spitfire, Midget, Sprint, etc) or regular porridge like Minis/1100/Minors/etc. SU carbs with a Lucas dizzy and a rattly OHV lump. Yes they're crap on paper but they are the cars that make me smile when I'm driving them. As often said, making you smile is what the best driving experience is all about.

Are you in need of some automotive consultation? Step this way please sir... There's talk of it needing a full restoration which has me worried, so please step up now.

BorniteIdentity Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 This looks rather smashing. V6 manual from elderly owner (quelle surprise) in 1950s suburbia. Not as cheap as they once were, but this looks basically new Quick dye to the steering wheel and you're off and running. Would look lovely with the aubergine personal line interior to compliment the damson paintwork (you could even get aubergine cloth which was delightful) I know plenty of folk love buying the cheapest car possible and revelling in the smugness of cheap entry, but this - for the long term - has to be a fantastic prospect. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133718989767?fbclid=IwAR2fOWBUeeAbOGBR3k_OE3P4B2nbRxgcb362NXxWCR0cPjXuOSUev3bV6e4 Wilko220, neil1971, phil_lihp and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
