EDIT: the yellow heap of shit next to it is available for sale separately, FFS.

If you squint, it looks like that says 'Mecca' and 'Don't fix' down the sides.  Either way, it needs to go on a pilgrimage to EMR.

I shall post that onto the club site. It may get to the new owner

 

Cheers mate, it could be an opportunity to shine a light on which other AVS reg Vauxhalls are still going. I know that AVS 971T still exists, not sure if it was part of the press fleet though or perhaps a Vauxhall company car.

This has to be, hands down, one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen.  The colour does it no favours either.

It's so ugly, I don't even want it ironically.

That morris 8 is the same as my dads first car in 1958.

He bought a MINI in 1959. And in 1961 vowed to never buy anything from Austin Morris again. 

He's got a focus now

I could never decided who these G6/G6Rs were aimed at. It has all the GTi style kit n what not but the same boggo 1.6 or 1.3 as the rest of the range. 

They could at least have put in the 115hp, 1.8 7AFE and matched the power of the old 1.6 4AGE, GTI-16s from 20 years prior but I suppose that might embarrass the Celica with the same engine.

Oh.

 

I assumed it would have a spicier engine. The red seatbelts lied to me!

I think they were aimed at the younger driver who wanted something with sporting pretensions but couldn't afford the insurance on a big engine.  Along the same sort of lines as the Saxo Furio / Punto Sporting etc.

Calling Cav

Stockport 125 that sounds like an easy job to get running

Thanks. That was originally listed with a 'submit offer' thing. I chucked one in, but they said they didn't want offers, only bids.

Morecambe Bay rather than ebay, but...

Is that cheap enough for a big Transit?

Sorry, but there's been a lot of bluster on here recently - but not many wallets being opened and emptied.

It's time to shit guys - or get off the pot.

Who cares about the 104 horses.  When you look THAT good, you drive slowly.

I absolutely love the seat patterns in 90's hot and "warm" hatches

Are you sure you're looking at a modern black Toyoblob?  That's the kind of comment I make about Huggy!

Different strokes for different folks ?‍♂️. I reckon those Corollas are proper AS - ugly/sheep in wolf’s clothing/unpopular etc.

Thought this may interest a few people, this is more of a "the one that got away" moment. I found this a couple a months ago, it's been sold now but the listing is still up on Car & Classic:

 

It's a '78 Viva GLS, which I quite liked the look of. Nice beige interior, original paint. After it was sold, I took my eye off it, and continued looking at other HC Vivas for sale.

Now to the present. Whilst I was looking through eBay listings for old car magazines, I came across an edition of Autocar from February 1979, which caught my eye as it had a Renault 18TS on the cover. Looking through the photos that the seller had put up I came across a page which had a picture of the 1979 Vauxhall range.

 

As shown, all the cars have AVS plates which caught my eye. I remembered seeing something which also had an AVS registration a few months back, so I searched through a folder of mine which had pictures of cars for sale that caught my eye, & realised that AVS 39T was part of the Vauxhall press fleet at one point, as seen in this promotional photo!

 

I'm always quite interested in press cars, and I have seen a few come and go on eBay and other websites, so missing the chance to buy this one has annoyed me a bit, if only I knew then! The listing didn't state that it was ex-press car funny enough, & I couldn't find any different photos after searching up the reg number, so I wonder if the new owner knows about it's past.

Excellent detective work @Austat
