That'll be from the Car Hut in Walsall then? All of their photos look like this, nice to have a standard I suppose. 😆

Automatic? That would be something of a miracle as I don't think they made automatic cityrovers!

350 miles is short????  To some of us that's a two-day drive with a Premier Inn halfway!

I hope it's found a good home.

At that price I suspect it's at risk of getting fragged. I imagine a 75 would weigh in for £300-350 at the moment

As you say, hopefully someone got it who will give it a chance. I'd bet it wouldn't need much for a ticket

My mistake. It's a Spanish waiter of course.

I wasn't the seller, I probably should have been clearer as I now realize it sounded like I was!

No you were clear, I just don't use bookface so would have needed a middle man.

With a Mk1 Strada parked inches away from the sea I find that very hard to believe.

He also says in the description that it's a Mercedes ML so he might be a driveway trader who's copied and pasted the wrong description.

Looks like a liquid  lunch of 2 cans of Carlsberg was on the menu for the seller. Hic. Barefaced liar or maybe just pissed as a fart.

Just noticed on the specs like MPG it says Honda Civic! So we need to decide which of the 3 it is

He's not exactly nonchalant about being a driveway trader since he has over 30 ads 

Still amusing none-the-less

The Albar Sonic. Had never heard of these before. Several versions available if you google it.

I wonder what's wrapped up in the grey polythene (or whatever) in the pics.

New one on me too. I bet it's a fucking Beetle underneath.

The trustworthy* vendor assures us that it "drives superb"

The trustworthy* on board computer alerts us there is a braking fault and to drive moderately.

Which one is it, drive with moderation or drive superbly??! 😅

Taken from here :

 

Albar Sonic was presented to the public in 1982. This was a replacement for the aging Albar Jet, but which had a more futuristic design and rear-wheel drive. The first Sonic models were put on the chassis from Volkswagen Beetle. Equipped with quite strange optics for seven headlights. Offered in a "targa" body.

Over time, Sonic has changed. First, they shared a huge optics. That's why it became closed at all. But by the early 90s, there were 4 small headlights left. Also since the mid-1980s, a coupe body has already been offered.

The engine ration was also very huge - from 1.3 to 2.8 liters. These were engines from Porsche, Volkswagen and Renault. So the speed was quite different. But the maximum was somewhere around 230 km/h.

By the end of the 80s, Albar had abandoned the Volkswagen chassis and began to make a custom chassis, which hit its budget hard.

The average dimensions of Sonic were as follows: 4300/2000/1112 (L/w/h) and wheelbase of 2410 mm.

But all these innovations and even the film could not bring Sonic into the arena. The model was produced until about 1992, when Albar's debt exceeded its maximum. Then the workshop began to slowly slide into the abyss.
