I'm not a Midget or diesel fan but that car is pretty cool :-)

I don't like the shite towel rail bumpers, chrome plated sills or poundland LED headlights, but you could put those right with a bit of elbow grease.

I have a (not at all unsurprising) dislike of Midgets; that one's been done to a decent standard and I like the thinking behind it, but the detailing's tacky and hateful.

Been looking at that Granada for some time but it is very far North. Need to some better pictures to ascertain the condition really. It's been advertised before and I believe it is pretty good which would be handy as welding and bodywork is beyond my skills set! Perfect base for what I'd want to build though.

Another 'un near me. They've had that one for sale for a fair bit now. No idea why they haven't brought it inside the fence and broken it for spares as they usually have plenty of interesting stuff kicking about.

Do all 505's have such a huge rim to side wall ratio?

That looks as if it's on 185 14s which are an 80 profile and was quite normal before everything had to have ULP tyres and massive wheels.

The wheeltrims on that particular car don't go up to the edge of the rim possibly giving the impression the wheel is even smaller.

What better way to arrive at A&E than in a shagged old ambulance that looks like Droopy, the miserable cartoon dog

'It's looking serious, doc, he's got an Electrolux Model 30 stuck to the end of his knob and the nearest hospital is 3.2 miles away, how long will it take to get there?'

Fuck it, we'll walk.

Long MOT, sounds pretty shit but only a ton with an hour and half to go. Hmm....

£2,000 (lol!) 'Facebook Motors (North Wales)' though to his credit he's selling because of his ongoing voluntary efforts with refugee aid relief efforts in northern Europe this winter.

 

It's been sprayed by someone called 'Phlegm' which probably explains why it's snot very good. But at least the giant knob on the side will suit most people who drive these things.

"The car was past down to me last week and still has 3 weeks MOT on it. I had a local mechanic give it a once over and said it was looking really good apart from needing wiper blades and a discoloured indicator cover or blub maybe?"

 

Hmm, alright. Oh...

While the guy is a liar liar pants on fire that's not a bad list of failures really. The failure does mean that actually the car doesn't have 3 weeks MOT on it after all ...

Agreed... nothing corrosion related, surprisingly. His dishonesty would put me off, though.
