This is a very original example, hardly any rust. XR3i according to tailgate badges, but I always thought the XR3i had alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozeydustman Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 I came home past the house which has the GS on the garden. It's still there some months on. I think the house is empty as the curtains are never opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen that around Chichester. It’s a lovely old thing and a great colour too. I believe there’s someone in Lavant who has more old Volvo’s, as I’ve seen that 340 and a really nice 740 both turning into a private lane type thing near where it is in that pic.

I had to ask as my knowledge of anything Blue Oval is poor, as for the large part I don’t like Fords. I saw this a few hours previous, which is more my cup of tea It was on an R plate and non standard rudeboy wheels. It’s a shame when a rare car such as a Mk1 Cav gets the barry treatment.

Possibly but all Harriers are 1600 Sports with different trim, so there's no way of telling if it's a real one. Or to look at it another way, you can make one and no-one can prove it's not legit.

dozeydustman Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Because people are idiots I was actually out and about loading on a round. When a manager needs to go out with 3 drivers who’d already finished their work things ain’t good. But I digress. The GS is still there but now upside down! It’s starting to look even more sad and having popped a note through the letterbox of the house with any interest in selling it for resto or helping another GS live on. I suspect the owner will pop his clogs and the Gs and the 2CV on the drive will both become bean tins.
