The Moog Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Good buy ... A shadow versus Cavcraft that would be a haggle to behold ... Cavcraft, Shirley Knott, sutty2006 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley Knott Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 That looks like a *unique example When I was a lad most of the local youths drove old Nova's, the very lucky ones (Those with well off parents) had these or Micra's, very desirable at the time. Genuinely heart warming to see this getting some instant love with the NOS consumables, it's the automotive equivalent to taking a starving stray dog home and feeding it. Well played to both of you.

1duck Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 i really liked saxos and they all seemed to vanish from the roads at once, which was a little odd. I blame scrappage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
