I know a few were sold in the UK, do any British-market examples survive?

[vulgalour]

Gorgeous.

Rear indicators not the most elegant solution, sadly.

Still would.

Couple of Crestas from the same seller.  Big projects both.

There isn't a single bad angle on this thing.  Metallic beige (it's a stretch to call it gold) inside and out too.

Yeah... great advert there.

On the one hand: "Quentin Wilson from Classic Car recommended this as a smart buy with values of up to  50K"

But on the other: "Damaged in garage as wall fell on the car, after a fire."

When a P6 is this visibly bad on the outside, how bad is it on the inside?

That Dodge Polara looks fantastic. Externally a bit shabby, mechanically well sorted — spot on.

The seller’s made a really good video about the fettling he’s done with it, too.

The wings just bolt on, so could be fine.

This shape Prelude is such a pretty looking thing. Shame they don't escape the galloping rot which affected so many of this era.

As for the design of the radio,  that's just sublime. Forget your modern shouty glowing 90" in car infotainment bollocks; this is proper design. Lovely.

The last time I saw one of these was circa 1994/5, my Dad’s old employer had a brace of them, boi-oi-oing!

Ford even marked the cut line if you wanted to make your own Ranchero, after they stopped in 1980.

Are these any good? 

Loved mine, although Mrs BMH hated it! The do like to rot around the rear inner arches / boot floor and being so small it's always within 30cm of something structural, so it's frequently fatal.

I'm very much into that. Excellent combination of colours, and those instrument binnacles really are a work of art

That is lovely.  I never* did that in my LNA.

(besides thats not the only Autobianchi in the UK is it? if there are other UK registered Autobianchi's perhaps you could contact their owners and ask em how they did it)

I would hazard a guess they probably had the Italian registration document - it's child's play if you have that!

I don't know if a "generic" classic car club would be able to provide a build date from an Autobianchi VIN - not with enough authority to satisfy DVLA anyway.  And NOVA is a potentially major issue when you can't prove when the car was brought into the country - I'm sure Mr Bickle has had some fun and games in that regard in the past.

Unfortunately getting it put on a Q plate is not really an option for me, as Q plates are one of the specific exclusions to my insurance policy.
