Faker Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Well.... I could have posted a collection thread, but I only travelled a dozen miles to collect. Added to that..... these are very definitely a "scene" vehicle... in fact they're iconic. Yes I know that autoshite holy grail is the proton satria and skoda felicia... but this has been on the bucket list for decades. doug, Alan_Green, 320touring and 22 others 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I used to drive the pickup version as a work truck. My subsequent lack of love for Dubs is now totally logical. Still, if it's what you wanted, then good luck to you. Preserving any vehicle is the right thing to do, and it always should be something you like.

Before I bought my first Dyane, I seriously considered a 1302S of similar vintage. How different things might have been...

We had a 1600 Devon when I were a pup. £900 it cost. Loved it!

Skizzer Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I like that, because it’s so rare to see a nice stock one. Please don’t make it ‘individual’, i.e. identical to every other one. danthecapriman, Faker, Wingz123 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
