Because Live And Let Die was full of these Impalas?

And I've just realised... look at the interior pic.  On the dash there's a model of an Impala coupe; the same one I have, from the Bond partwork collection!

Considerably worse than ours, but considerably cheaper too.  Looks fucking bleak in blue.

May be an image of car

May be an image of car and outdoors

 

"Scuse me mate - any idea how you turn the fan on..."

No photo description available.

"Ah nice one".

I hope that's the engine fan and someone's gone to all that effort to wire up a switch, rather than just fix the bloody thing.

Jesus Christ that is lovely.  All that paperwork.  AND the englarged steering boss with integrated horn switch.

I'm off for a lie down.

Those escorts were prone to the fan thermoswitch failing. You used to be able on the CVH ones to bypass the switch and by unplugging some of the wiring so the fan ran constantly.

Rare chance to buy a low ownership ford escort.

I'd actually prefer if it had more owners, if they were the type who didn't lose the interior.

SORRY NO OFFERS ON THE PRICE .If we don ,t get the asking price we will be getting it running and maybe putting a bigger engine and lowering the car then it will be a lot more money .

good plan, get it running and then replace the engine. It's four grand, btw

The ignition barrell was taken off and we have had a key cut for it and even the locksmith said he has never seen an unworn lock this old especially a ford 

The guy in Timpsons was very complimentary about my 90s Pulsar while selling me a £15 strap for it.

Certain novelty in a 3am car viewing, don't you think?

When I was working on the petrol pumps, I never felt comfortable fuelling these over that hot engine.  Very easy to drip petrol into the distributor! But I could check* oil and water whilst fuelling and that sometimes produced a tip. (See also Fiat and Simca)

1975 Vauxhall Chevette 3 Door

Mega early Chevette!  I thought P reg were the first.

"A nice usable classic or could be transformed into a retro rally car, big engined street sleeper etc "  Please don't!

Classified ad price: £4,995

That's identical to the one a teacher at my junior school had, apart from the fact that hers was quite scruffy. This would have been the early '90s so already an unusual sight and something I took notice of. There was an HC Viva always parked opposite the school, and one of my friends arrived in a Mk1 Astra 'Celebrity' so it was quite a Vauxfest

This next ACA sale is shaping up to be one of the most interesting auctions for ages I reckon. As well as my old Panhard and Hotchkiss-Grégoire there are some wonderful Lancias, including this

It's an Iniezione, which is Italian for 'Walk Away' but otherwise looks great! I wish I wasn't poor.

I remember having to stop someone who was about to try filling up with petrol, via the air filter intake

Rare to see, even rarer with the optional headlamps that double as fish tanks... :D

Phwoar! thats a funky looking thing! Iv certainly heard of the Renault 8 before but I dont think iv ever seen a picture of one, or certainly not one that shows off its funky front end quite as well as this listing does!

almost reminds me of the Modern Electric Citroen Ami in some ways

 

bonus points for the genuine period Middlesex A suffix registration :)

(I wonder how many people think its a re-registration plate, when actually its not)
