jon.k Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 If anyone on autoshite wins the lottery but wants to remain part of the community, I’ve found the perfect car. I knew they were weird, but had forgotten quite how bad some of them looked. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1180468 Any other expensive ways to drive an autoshite car? egg and bangernomics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Wouldn't mind a Bristol (or a pair ), but I'd rather have a GeordieInExile, ETCHY, ProgRocker and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2flags Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I must admit there is very little new stuff that excites me. Maybe a Jaguar F type. A lottery win fleet would have to include something pre-war, or just post war, something from the early fifties, most likely a Riley RM. I have a Landrover 110, a Jaguar X type and a new Ford Focus. I have been looking at Merc CLK convertibles. They seem so cheap for so much car. There's probably a very good reason for that.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanImp Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 It would have to be one of these. If I win it tonight, this one: https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1179380 There was a green one for sale for ages but its gone recently. A silver one of the same shape like in the Daily Mail car review (possibly the same one I guess by the numbers produced) is also for sale. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1139442 FakeConcern, spike60, RobT and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I see absolutely zero appeal in these they're like an Austin Maxi transformer thats not re-assembled properly . I'll give you the early ones look a bit better. Timewaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skut Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 One of these. Local Dundonian small scale productuon is supposed to start next year. The ADO is a Midget based thing with superb looks and an interior that needs a fuck ton of development work. Could do with stuff like wipers as well really. I fear the lottery win might have to fund productionising it before I could buy it. Asimo, HillmanImp and Christine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanImp Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'd defo want to find one of these. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25453/lot/322/ Prices seemed to get silly over the last few years but this sold for just over £50k this year. *edit* Fuck me though you'd need to do something about the Marty Hopkirk interior.

HMC Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I’d buy a mk2 escort 2 door rally replica and turn it back into a basic shopping car, and tell the internet. LightBulbFun, MorrisItalSLX, Skut and 21 others 13 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I’d also buy a mk2 escort 4 door ghia as I’ve wanted one since they were unloved bangers (I was 10 in1990 and it was the default buy/thrash/crash/throw away for all young drivers back then it seemed) now a lottery win is needed. bunglebus and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Not liking the "Gentlemens club" interior of Bristols, I prefer the Italian take on American-engined posh shite: De-Tomaso Longchamp Italy made my favourite Aston Martin too. In between those tiresome DB cars (the originals and the moderns) were the proper V8 Aston Martins and best of all, Skizzer's Lagonda and the Zagato. I am a 2 door guy, so the Zagato for me please.

HMC Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 ^ re the GK- you can see even from the outside it’s been a bit breathed on, the tyres, Avon turbospeeds they are not. If memory served GK interiors are usually low key black and bit of chrome. Similar to MGB owners that Chuck world of leather and fake wood at the interior.

I've posted somewhere on here before how you could immeasurably improve the rear of that car (apologies for the shonky 'photoshop') I reckon thats okay?

purplebargeken Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Christ, it looks like the group sex offspring of a Rover 75, Ford Granada, Ford Capri and a Jag X300. Not a fan of the 'modern' Bristols but the really old stuff, yes. Huge horn for the Lagonda, irrespective if it works or doesn't.

brownnova Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Yes definitely a Lagonda, but for ultimate Shite school run points... A Lamborghini LM002. Like an Umm Alter II on steroids. HillmanImp, DoctorRetro, Skizzer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 If I ever won the lottery the first thing I'd get is some land and built a dry storage. Then I'd probably buy a lot of chod. I'd be like Jay Leno, but with Mazda 626, Lancia Thema, Renault 21 and Fiat Tempra etc. etc. Joey spud, RayMK, mitsisigma01 and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
