Absolutely disgusting.

 

 

CAR put one in a Giant Test , against a Silver Shadow, Daimler Double Six and 450 SEL 6.9. Mostly for comic effect, I think.

The front page headline was; Britain still makes The Best Car in The World... but it's not the Rolls Royce.

Made a big impact on a 13 year old me.

 

Someone posted a link to that comparison, I had a quick read through it, it seems like it was by far not as bad as they thought it would be, the RR on the other hand was the worst car in many aspects.

Christ almighty. Imagine going to a funeral in that. I'd rather be the one in the coffin...

A tatty old greenhouse

A greenhouse next to the outhaus

On Highway near to witham

The people keep need to keep the garden clean

They call it Shitehole

You go t'the store on Fridays

Take it to the bridges on Sundays

They call it Shitehole

Little Ol' Town

Oh Shitehole

They call it Shitehole city limits.

Mmm... so are these 1.3 'Rolla units interference... or non-interference?

And is it worth paying £100 to find out?

 

MrsDC wants one of these, no idea why. And it's reasonably local-ish to me...

According to the internet, it is officially an interference engine but people have had belts snap without any interference.

I'm with Mrs. DC, I like bug eye Corollas too.

This daft eBay 'frequently bought together' thingy would justify it's own thread of much hilarity.

Same on Amazon btw. If you check out books on - say - British Postwar Urban Architecture and its Sociological Impact,

it suggests to also buy some Mickey Mouse toothpaste in Bubble Gum flavour.

Shame that Zephyr isn't bench seat and column change - was it only the V4s were built like that or was four on the floor and reclining chairs an option?

I just posted this in the Malaise FB group, Im wondering if Cadillac ever built these in RHD, havent read up on that yet. Looking at the condition of the dashboard, someone might have converted it at one point...

 

 

Apparently so.....but I can't remember seeing any during my school days. Ten grand car back then! The RHD builds didn't have the windscreen wiper direction corrected - or at least the one in the eBay auction doesn't.

Please tell me the conversion was done with a bicycle chain running behind the dash to the original steering column like on the AMC Pacer?

Here we have my Freelander for sale, in fair condition with a long MOT and only 132k on the clock. It has had a new clutch, master cylinder and slave cylinder fitter in 2018. Comes with 4 nearly new tyres. Part service history, but had a service last year. Running the sort after TD4 engine. It is only a 2 wheel drive at present making it a more economical drive, however it wouldn’t cost much for someone with the time to convert it back into a 4x4. Any questions please ask.
