Oh fuck fuck fuck !!!

Edit mind you 9 years old, remember when a 9 year old car was fucked ?

This was apparently a problem of the first Indian built batch 

There were people who managed to get Dacia to exchange their car with a Romanian built example, as those don't rot this badly

That's brilliant, could qualify for late registration madness even though it was actually made in 2012! First glance of that picture I thought '80's & boxy' - lo and behold yes they actually made them until 2012 abroad! 

(I will reply to your PM a bit later :) )

Don't think you'll get any more robust than that! 

1.3 petrol, so insurance should be alright, even if it's a little high that's got to be offset by the purchase price? 

Just a thought! :)

The want is there! I've been told on no account should I buy something as old let alone older than the Micra 😕

Watching the Weslake Cup at the Goodwood MM the other day has really revitalised my desire for a 1960s sports thingy based on A-series oily bits. Apparently though Midgets and Sprites are now worth proper money, to the extent I could probably buy something actually good (like an Olympic or similar) for what it might cost to build upa sporty Spridget. I'm still half-keeping an eye out though, and this horrid little heap looks like it would fit the bill perfectly

Somebody has already but a disgusting bonnet on it, so it'll be a guilt-free decision to bin it and fit something better looking. It's 1970, but one could easily put early rear lamps/ interior bits on without too much hassle.

This lot has appeared on ebay and I'm half tempted to buy it on spec and store it until I can actually afford the car, as it seems quite reasonable

All fantasy of course, but it's what's keeping me up at night at the moment

Fucking hell that's worse than our 2014 Sandero. Got some surface stuff creeping in, the plastic must hide a multitude of sins. We've got more of an issue with the front doors rotting in at the hinges and in at the fuel filler neck area.

I've been eyeing this up for ages. Or at least trying to talk my Granda into buying it so I'm landed with it when he gives up the driving.

I have a similar issue. I've to buy something newer according to the family (not that I can afford it anyway). I canny wait to see their faces when I do eventually roll up in some Y-reg heap. 🤣

Tell them to fuck off, in the nicest Scot way possible  😛

Ah well, I'd say do as you want to do, but I realize that's easier said than done sometimes when there's household interference! :D

Can you retrofit knock off to spin off?

Still quite cheap compared to the prices they fetch over here. I do like this 1500 one: https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/auto-s/mg/m1831761585-mg-midget-1500-1976-nu-4000, which has a lot of positives (rostyles instead of wire wheels, rhd, good top), but is, at 4000 euros, still a project with rubber bumpers, poor paint, and some other niggles.

The really cheap ones are usually neglected USA imports with tons of wob, several layers of bad repaints and sun damaged interiors...
