And 1000 cc Kadetts, 1300 Mk III Capris, the terrible Astra G 1.2 Eco... Not the 1100 Cortina though, I guess that was only available in southern Europe . It is strange, our road tax isn't based on engine capacity (it is calculated by a combination of the fuel type and the weight of the car), so that cannot be the reason for buying a car with a tiny engine. I guess we just have lots of cheapskates who want the cheapest possible spec.😁 egg and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, almost all of them were installed when new. Installing them would be more expensive than fixing any damage that could be hidden by them. They do cause damage by trapping moisture over the decades though. 36 minutes ago, Fumbler said: Indeed, I found it really interesting to see the rapid evolution in USDM cars in the 1980s while watching different series of Motorweek and other car test/review groups from that time. Probably the biggest aesthetic changes I saw were when sealed beams and 5mph bumpers were ditched. Yeah, the move away from sealed beam headlights and introduction of flush glass was a huge step in design. Much more visible on cars in the US where it happened much less gradually than in Europe or Japan. Hence me appreciating cars from that time so much, imagine walking into a showroom in 1989 while still surrounded by cars from 10 years earlier outside of said showroom. The jump in design, technology and quality couldn't have been bigger. Fumbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheel nut Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 1300 Dolomite with the combination of square headlights and long boot that weren’t made until after 1976 registered as a 1971 Triumph 1500… Looks suspiciously like a legacy of when the cut-off for free VED was frozen at 1972 for 15 years. Only sprints came with a vinyl roof from the factory so this one must have had it added later on. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334870632862?hash=item4df7d8599e:g:jTYAAOSwwRxkWQWV&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwMc7IWpukPqK4pAdf%2FV7FUNzv2hj6he98%2BtyyZTHjwYhK1Ds7zpM2VqnLLIjbpYa16Us62yMvH6c6UE8YwXnKzcoZpgL6ocaG163cxjUzQGRQgUDH%2FuKsPiD3QEWAVq7LnPV9ZR6NEdwq17t%2BPu94kxP74Zg9x3%2FZpyM1ynVEblX95ygClg5tCgYVfVRaybYn4Z8jeQm9%2BCuLrS1rXF2jdfI%2BmBKxbS6to8RFDtx2P3eW1w%2Fmt2afm2VsR2k9EYzcQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5StkLGGYg Joey spud, SteersWithThrottle, DSdriver and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheel nut Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 There's something a bit strange about this. Front end is like the style of the Phantom but doesn’t look quite right. Grill for example is a bit tall and more like an older generation Royce. Dash is also older style, maybe Silver Spirit, however 2013 registration would be consistent with a Phantom and too new for a rebodied Silver Spirit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166103113452?hash=item26ac845eec:g:EJEAAOSwVQ5kRExp&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4GBDuve7x1EuT9E3XkYc3owgWbj1LSAQ8XmIH2YhtBW9pXdxnR2A6PhUKiycIr8nCCA25FTOuNeMPBV6kjIcWgqoyscJ7KjpWren%2FDgAtCvx2qrvedNpVH8GZGJDmx7PuHd3IyF8r%2BEbE6ieFsMi4bB8KIEXunf0QMBF5pALuGCD82zozm2vhr2EYGshvKq6whfJCDT3plEO6TDpWw9EUm4KuJCF2vcyIbCkFZTAGR8t2O57S40B0OTIH1guwtkI%2BL6Ht0KsB3eYJTqFUYLw6a%2FU2VD9XMcdC79LNnsuDhE4|tkp%3ABk9SR9LI78GGYg grogee, sdkrc and outlaw118 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
