Holy mother of god... That's terrific!

Now that is the Allegro I would want, but for reasons already outlined, I cannot take this one on😐

ITYM 'maligned' - unless they really are misaligned, hence the tappets... 🙃

A Freudian slip?

Potentially cheap Panda. Not sure I could survive a drive home from Dundee though

I commuted 90 miles a day for at least 2 years in one almost identical to that. I'll get you home easily, albeit rather slowly.

Indeed! The 6am starts thanks to our two year old are catching up with me! 

Having said all that, I reckon panels on that era of anything mass-produced were indeed misaligned 😅

I dunno. If you're not signed into facebook it might not let you see it.

Ah, that's much more likely; Zuckerberg avoider here, y'see.

I think you mean they're much maligned although your version amused me and may well also be true. My Dad had an Alpine too and must have liked it enough for his next car (and the first I can remember) being a metallic blue Horizon 1.3. EVW310Y never put a foot wrong but I can still recall that noise 34 years after it was traded in. The new 309 1.6 Sr  he replaced it with was SO FUCKING QUIET.. 

 

Edit: Hadn't noticed Barrett beat me to it!

Smacks head on seeing Austin 1300 for £6995.

I remember my Dad selling his for sub £200

Fucking hell that Alpine is INCRED. I really, really, really, really want that.

Me too. I’d love a Chrysler-badged Alpine, S is the ideal spec and that one doesn’t look too fucked. Nowhere to put it though.

They’re not bad cars; the engines are noisy and 60s tech from the Simca 1100, but reasonably effective and the car as a whole is comfy and practical, if not especially exciting. They sold like gateaux chauds in France.

 I like them because they are just so handsomely proportioned and look amazing with white plastic bumpers.

Ikr, I am somewhat of an oddball on Volvo 480 Club Europe for loving the cars with the black bumpers, just as long as it doesn't have the black rubbing strips:

Now is the right time to buy this Volvo 480 ES - PetrolBlog

🤢

 

I agree that the Simca Alpine (sorry) is an extremely well styled car, not to exciting, but not dull enough to be a total turn off. In other words, how boring should be done

I'm confused, this place was selling this last year. They also say it's accident damaged. For £2.5k?
