I think these are probably the best looking  50 ever made, and this  one has been rebuilt by 'the' expert in the field.  £4,600 reserve not met

a 480 turbo and they went to that cantankerous old bugger Lakes of Wyboston near Bedford.

That wasn't a turbo, it was a 1.7 Two Tone edition, it belongs to one of the club members who bought it on the show, it's been a Saga for sure...

That is lush, properly lush. I don't have £5k spare though. I still remember when you could pick one up that was only a few years old for just a few hundred quid 🙄

Right, who has a LWB transit, smokes crack and has a few hundred quid spare? 

What are the Red Arrows doing on a US Navy aircraft carrier?

There are some still (relatively) cheap ones out there, but they're few and far between. One or two of the collectors are snapping them up, ditto the (even rarer) AE50 and 80. 

Had this a while now, not even got close to doing anything with it yet, but it's on the list as would love to get it roadworthy and scream round on it.

Probably a good few. Why anyone would want that though, beats me.

Wow didn't think these came in manual.

Not just the V6 either, I once drove a GTS V8 manual. It was very weird, not unpleasant and pretty quick but just felt wrrong and I found it hard to drive smoothly, which is a bit embarrassing when you’re supposed to be a professional chauffeur!

This one just came for sale not far from me. AX sport with double Weber 100 hp and a little over 700 kg. This is probably fun to drive.

This is Norway. And do not think it is a big problem to take cars out of Norway is probably the import to another country that is perhaps more difficult? But I do not know as I have never done it.

Older than 10 years so only an MOT and a few forms away from being a UK reg car. Will need UK headlights (or a pair of these headlamp stickers) though.

This was up before for £1200 but didn't sell, now £700 but requires a tow truck to extract it.

That's like the opposite of this seller, who apparently enjoyed obfuscating the plates so much that he did the blinkers as well...

That's the same colour as my first 99, although that was a 2-door.  SAP338R, bought from a chap in Cambridge.  I drove down to view it in an orange 928cc Talbot Sunbeam I'd just bought at auction for £10.  On the way back up the A11 I got out-accelerated away from one of the roundabouts by a builder in a DI Transit.

Happy days...

If you lookup 'is it taxed' 533KNX...

It was my IMP, overbored 930 at a shop and a set of 'scrapper' pistons+rods fitted from an old Sunbeam motor (the garage had hoiked the boat anchor 928 out and stuck a bigger CC in it). It made the Imp hop along a bit 😎

This is a rare beastie.

I had the Colt version years ago (same engine and gearbox) and it was the most ridiculously thirsty small car I've ever owned - I was getting about 25mpg out of it.
