jon.k Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Wow! So many questions. How many of these are on the road? How do you manage to store them? Can we see more of the buses please? Do you ever sell any cars or just buy them? Do you only have things that are generally quite undesirable to the average person and even the average car enthusiast... ie top shite?

ProgRocker Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Welcome back. Love the Polonezssssss...Polonezeseses....Whatever! I've been fascinated by them since What Car? magazine gave them a 1 blob out of 5 score for almost every criteria in the late 1980s/1990s road tests. The Datsun Cherry is sub zero cool imo. In fact the whole collection is bloody ace. Owning one older car causes me anxiety. Owning 43 (+ 3 buses) must be a sign of great mental toughness. 500tops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Wow! Amazing collection and some fantastic saves. I particularly like the 120a coupe - I don't think I've ever seen one in the metal. As for the earliest Chrysler Alpine known, are you in the south west? I remember seeing it parked up in the 'don't crush these cars' area at a local breakers around a decade ago iirc. I'm mid Cornwall. Intrigued to see updates!
