Zelandeth Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 [] Delorean. [] 2CV. [] Stag. [] Lada 111. The latter might happen one day...but likely would involve a pretty monumental road trip and biblical amount of red tape. Possibly a non starter though as I suspect a lack of type approval might preclude being able to get it legally roadworthy here.

IIRC if its over 10 years then it does not need type approval thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the styling a lot though...and the interior is very much "Lada copies the Citroen ZX." https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lada_111_1.5Li_rear.jpg LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimH Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Bit slow on this one. Anyone who says anything even remotely derogatory about Bristols is a hopeless case who understands nothing. This is fact. The judge’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. One of my prized possessions is a copy of LJKS’ two volume masterwork. This is probably as close as I will come to owning one. Heart says 403, head says 411, Post Office book says ropey 5 Series. That said, I wouldn’t turn down a Longchamp GTS. egg, Skizzer and loserone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not given the current madness going on there, given my luck I'd wind up either shot, in prison or both. Hungary and Turkey at least used to be hotspots for Ladas (know a couple of folks who imported Rivas from those areas back in the early days of the millennium) and benefit from a far less harsh climate so it's less likely to be a Lada shaped block of rust. I've no idea how bad the 2110/1 is for rot, never even seen one in person! Really should have a Fiat Tempra on the list too...just for that dash if nothing else. Wonder if you can fit the 20V Turbo engine from the Coupe can be crammed into one... LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungry it is then, as then you can also bring back all the Trabants (or at least thats where aging wheel's trabant came from and I think they have a few there!)

bunglebus Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I posted the Tatra at the start as it's kind of elite territory, however I know what I'd actually buy would be much more mundane for the most part. No.1 would be a 50s oval window Beetle with some upgrades to make it usuable like disc brakes and bigger engine. I'm sure a 2 door MK2 Escort and a MK1 estate would also be included, then I'd be finding run of the mill but unusual cars to import, like a Brazilian Cortina coupé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
