Split_Pin Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 This looks great. If I didn't already have my TD I'd be on a plane. Nearly a year's MOT, not too bad a test history and an honest advert. No service history but you don't need it with a Cav, there's nothing to go wrong. In London so cheap and easy to get to from anywhere.

Asimo Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Corvette C5 was officially imported and sold in GB for a few years via a few GM dealers. I think it was sold as a Corvette, rather than a Chevrolet Corvette. Discontinued here in 2002 so unless one took 3years to sell, Lotus wins.

In the late 1970s/80s the owner decided that with a growing family he required rather more interior room than the Coupe body provided. He took the roof section and rear hatch from a Citroen GS Estate and carefully grafted them onto the Fulvia body. Fortunately the dimensions and shape of the Citroen parts proved to be a very close match for the Lancia body allowing the conversion to proceed with the resulting car retaining a measure of elegance alongside enhanced practicality. The least successful part of the conversion was the side window glazing, which rather spoils the profile, but if the car were to be rebuilt it would be possible to develop a more sophisticated side window arrangement .The resulting car was used as the family car in throughout 1980s finally being taken off the road in the early 1990s for some restoration. At some point the car was then partially dismantled, the floor pan was welded but the rest of the restoration never proceeded and the car remained in storage with the orioginal owner until i purchased it about 2/3 years ago. The last two pictures in the gallery show the vehicle as it was c. 1987 at a Lancia Club meeting The owner of this was dedicated. Building his own Lancia shooting brake and using it regularly for well over a decade, instead of just trading it in for a factory built estate car! neil1971, Shite Ron, Asimo and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not necessarily true as there is a lot I wish we had like Proton, Morris Ital / Marina and more. We are also fewer people here so there are fewer cars for sale as well. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Marina was sold here but not Ital, and was not sold so many Marina here and few have survived. So Marinas are rare here.

So please do prove me wrong. https://moviecultists.com/were-pop-up-headlights-banned Well, it's clearly one of those answers that are "open to interpretation". You can move the definitions around as much as you like, to get the answer you like. FWIW I think you're all right... xD Let me show my reasoning! The Pantera copy isn't a "new" design per-se, but a reworking of an early 1970s one (arguably a late 1960s one given it debuted in March 1970, and factoring in the time it takes to develop and manufacture something like this). The Esprit and Corvette both had production runs from 1996 to 2004, so while the Esprit might have the de facto last registration of a car with pop-up lights, you could argue the Corvette was also still available. The really nit-picky answer would be "probably some half-dead MX-5 that sold 30 seconds ago on Craigslist/Gumtree/ebay/Auto Trader. After all, the question didn't specify it had to be a car being sold new... >;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
