Sounds like an advert for a compilation album from K-Tel ?

And if they panned to the right a bit more they could have photographed some primas being built at Perkins.

Streatham 1989.  Action packed scene; VDP metro, xj40, decaying mk2 escorts and mini, plus a body kitted rx7 and a very confused man with a bunch of traffic cones.

Streatham 1989; under construction. 

L and LX escorts showing trim variations, and a very tired Datsun van that lasted another 18 months before being scrapped.

My 1st work van when I was serving my time was an orange one like that. 2.0 pinto iirc and a 1985 b reg. It didn't half take some hammer, by two wanna 19 year old wannabe boy racers. I remember it getting a new passenger wing fitted and sparyed 2 shades too light. the drivers step also crumbled and was replaced. When it died it was replaced with the newer model transit in blue and also a petrol.

1990 it was, almost 30 years ago ffs!

A few spacecruisers in the Steatham 1989 shots.  Forgot they used to be quite common cars.

Posted

@EssDeeWon my logic was that it was the same one - the photographer’s as they were always parked and not driven in the shot but as you say, they could be different silver space cruisers.

Yes quite possibly, I remember silver being a common colour, however you could be right.

Is the Maxi above the luxury version? And if so is it as rare as the diesel? From the DVLA MOT Checker (sigh) -

It is indeed an HL. :-

I drove one for a travel agency. Quite bouncy suspension.
