Lovely interior, what was so bad about yours?

 

And sorry but a much less attractive, much more thirsty, much slower and MUCH less cool Espace V6 has to be done sometime soon :P

Considering how much rusty old yank iron is fetching these days this a barg at 6.5k, RHD too. IMHO these look as classy as anything else from the era, and could sit happily next to any 60s Aston or exotica

A ragtop Galaxie sitting in a scrapyard was the reason for my first brush with the law back in 1984. Happy times.

This is incredible on many levels. The car as well as the ad are impeccable!

Buy with total confidence.

Now make my day and tell me Bungay is not in Lincolnshire.

 

Even with the different colour of doors and almost flat front tyre? :mrgreen:

Lovely interior,what was so bad about yours?

 

I could write a novel or at least novelette about what was terrible about that Renault 21 and the various pickles it got me in. I'd title it "21 reason this Renault 21 was shit".

 

This was probably about 1998 when I had it and the car was an J reg (91) so about 7 years old. It wasn't a Turbo is was a 1.7 TS (i think) 56 Plate in new money.

 

Among many other things

 

It leaked so the interior was constantly damp mouldy and miserable

All the electrics where messed up and someone had wired the heater fan to the cigarette lighter.

I picked my cousin up from the airport and the passenger door fell off

It used to start itself back up sometimes and once when I left it in gear it crossed 2 parking spaces and crashed itself into a wall.

When I took it for it's mot the subframe was rotted out (7 years old FFS)

Because it failed the mot and I had no money I spent some nervous times driving it illegally (before ANPR).

The windscreen cracked while the car was standing with no provocation.

 

When I sold it some optomist turned it into a taxi in my local town and if it was ever at the front of the taxi queue I'd refuse to get in it.

I think I got £150 for it which I put towards a cortina I got for £250 that served me reliably and faultlessly for a year.

BE1 is based on the Micra, just like the Pao (POW) and Figaro...

 

Think they come with a 1.0 Turbo like the Figaro...

2.4 v6 in the Granada. WTF. What else was that motor in?

 

Granada/Scorpio and Probe. It's still the Cologne V6, but with individual exhaust ports, so preferable over the 2.0 and 2.3, which have two of them siamesed.

The Probe is a Mazda MX-6 with different front lights and Wiki states:

The sportier GT model started at $15,504[8] and came standard with the new 2.5L Mazda KL-DE 24-valve V6 engine

LOL at the Astra, you know I'd have to look, Chris!

 

This was the star of Mouldsworth museum. I don't know what it went for at auction and it'd be nice to see it in another museum, rather than go to someone who would 'restore' it which would ruin it imho

The only modifications to the car are a set of lowering springs which have improved the looks of the car without compromising ride comfort or practicality

Good job he improved it - Mercedes engineers are known for being terrible at that sort of thing.
