Ugh, slow!

 

Slow to sell too at that price, even if it is the best* Dolomite colour.

Having owned a russet brown (?) - shyte brown - Allegro, Clubman and Marina coupe back in the early '90s, all '£50 quid specials', I noted that none of them were particularly rusty compared to their BL contemporaries painted in different colours; so my theory is that this particular strain of paint has good inherent rustproofing qualities. Waddya reckon?

Is there an old Corolla scene I don't know about or are they just good cars?

Worth having for the cloth alone

Yes, a fuck-wit scene tax type scene, but they are good indestructible cockroach cars.

I would speculate that it was the colour of choice for old giffers, whom the dealers were able to flog some additional rustproofing bollocks and the cars would've been garaged more then usual.

 

I never understood why anyone would've bought a TR7 (a sports car)(supposedly) in brown.

Never seen a 2CV with an arse end like that before! 1500€ seems cheap to me even if it does need a complete overhaul

Hey! I used to own that R8. Here it is about ten years ago (I did get around to putting wipers on it and commuted in it for a while).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^He should be sponsoring this site.............!

[MarvinsMom]

^^ That website remindes me that there used to be a place similar called "Cars Go Cheap At Big Mikes" years ago. i used to like thier advert in the local rag on a friday evening, which used to list such cars as "Mini Clubman, 6 weeks test, needs work £75" or "Ford Capri, starts and drives £100".

 

a freind once bought such a car like that from there, a Capri 2 with, as i remember maybe 3 months test, it was truely dreaful. underseal tide mark 1/2 way up the body all round, hand painted post office red above, and it smelt like something had died in it. it lasted about 10 days before finally giving up and dieing. Happy days

[DVee8]

^^ Aye Big Mikes use to frequent that place,a mate got a Renault Fuego for around £99.

There was a guy in newport ran a place like that. Known as "honest ken" he even wore a camel hair coat. I almost bought a mk3 cortina there once for £195. Here's what a local resident had to say about him in the local paper:

 

He used to give a warranty with all the cars that he sold, six months or the first 600 yards whichever came first! Once you had handed over the cash for your chosen car, he would stand outside his premises and wave you off as you drove away. As long as you made it past the traffic lights at the junction of Lower Dock Street and George Street then you had used up the warranty.

 

His premises always put a smile on my face. As you walked in to look at the many cars he had crammed in his showroom there was a sign saying 'Complaints Dept'. It was a trap door leading to a very dark cellar with a sledge hammer suspended from the ceiling by string. There was also another sign saying 'Pick of the Week' and sure enough there on the wall was a workman's pick.
