Spottedlaurel Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 2 hours ago, HMC said: Again, Cardiff 1984. Apologies for the graininess but @Spottedlaurel what is it? 'MkII' version of the 710-series 140J/160J (a.k.a. Violet). There was an earlier saloon that had a swoopy fastback rear end but they changed it to a more conventional arrangement partway through the 710's life. I remember a handful that made it into the '90s and I bought one of the fastback saloons for £50 in 1994/95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However much I want that to be one of these, I fear it is an Alpine. Imagine we have a photo of a Reliant FW11 whose driver needed an egg and cress sarnie for lunch on his way back to Ankara...

carlo Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 A wonderful thread indeed, I would never think I would see a Moskvich, Wartburg Knight and Fiat 850 Coupe (x2) in the same thread. What strikes me is the sheer variety of European and Japanese cars here, even in the seventies when you would expect British cars to still be by far in the majority.

I imagine membership of the EEC was a catalyst for greater numbers of European cars on British roads from the mid 1970s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably didn't help either in terms of reputation and supply of new cars to dealers. Leaving tariff free European imports readily available for no price premium or even cheaper than locally produced cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldofceri Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I was in Derby today with ten minutes to kill. So how about a ‘then and now’? ca. 1987: November 2019: Can’t quite get the same angle as the trees have grown so you can’t stand any further up the bank. Also the original photographer had a better zoom lens than my phone! bunglebus, Sudsprint, Leyland Worldmaster and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
