What about those rust holes in the bonnet? " This will be a good light project" Uhuh. Are those rust holes in the rear quarter/ rear wings? It seems a bit lop sided too, like it's had an accident?

MarvinsMom Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/601770520660300/ this is a very un-super, super minx. i was unaware that there was a convertible version of these. it must be a factory thing cos its only got 2 doors? i can see the future for this poor old thing, it involves an oval and 5 minutes of glory. which is sad, cos a Super Minx are usually great. edit - i've just seen this posted above too..... oops!

MarvinsMom Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 sadly you couldn't use that trabbi for a practical driving test, as that has to be done in a car with headrests fitted.... dunno where that idiot rule has come from, other than our euro-overlords of course. stonedagain, Jerzy Woking and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair, look at it from an employer's point of view. The primary concern should be a duty of care to the employee. If the only care the employer takes is insisting that the car has a seatbelt and a head rest it's not exactly going above any beyond reasonable steps us it. If they insisted that tests could only be taken in cars with dual controls, then I think they could actually be forgiven. But where's the fun in that.

wuvvum Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Look at this beauty! It's an Imperial so it'll have the Selectaride adjustable dampers, as well as the Coachwork by Thrupp & Maberley plates which are one of the most English things I've ever seen on a car. It doesn't even look that rotten. Seller reckons engine won't turn, but still a potential bargain to be had I reckon. I'm actually tempted to have a bid, despite having no money, nowhere to put it and nothing powerful enough to tow it home with...

anonymous user Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I do like those estates, a friend had one years ago which always impressed me. I remember it mostly as he had fitted an overdrive to it, but the operating switch was a nice brass and ceramic light switch that dangled on a lead, usually somewhere in the footwell. The Vauxhall lasted better than his Sunbeam Alpine (written off hitting his own gate pillar) and his Mini van (destroyed by getting it stuck in a pedestrian bridge over a railway) vulgalour, Skizzer and chodweaver 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
