A REAL STOMACH TURNER

Very saucy. Good job it's in Newcastle and I'm not, because that could be very tempting if that £2k price tag were a bit negotiable.

Gorgeous. I used to have one that colour, but it died of terminal rot. Lapped up a year of abuse (once did over 1000 miles in a week) with barely a service. Even took it off roading in Yorkshire!

 

Dyane values are behind 2CV ones at the moment, but good ones are finally breaking the £2000 barrier. If the C posts aren't mainly filler, that's a good buy. I'm now wishing I had £1700.

with gas having recently passed the $3/gallon mark I may have to consider something more economical

 

 

My heart bleeds....... :)

 

5.68 GBP = 8.92696 USD

 

According to http://www.xe.com. That's what we're paying with petrol at at least £1.25 per litre.

Do Dyanes sound the same as 2CVs?

 

Yes. Like the Ami and Mehari. They're all pretty much identical under the skin. They do sound a bit different from behind the wheel - Dyanes are a bit tinnier in sound due to the fresh air ventilation scoop on the bulkhead.

THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS; IN THE EARLY 80S TALBOT PRODUCED 500 CARS SOLELY AS SHOWROOM (PLINTH CARS) JUST TO GET PEOPLE IN THE SHOWROOMS, THEY HAD A DIFFERENT INTERIOR AND LOVELY METALLIC PAINT, BUT YOU COULD NOT BUY ONE AS THEY WERE FOR SHOW PURPOSES ONLY, WHICH IS WHY THEY NEVER FITTED THEM WITH POWER STEERING AND USED A 4 SPEED BOX. OR I SUPPOSE WHAT EVER THEY HAD TO HAND AT THE TIME, AS THEY WERE NOT MEANT TO BE DRIVEN. AFTER THEY HAD SERVED THEIR PURPOSE ALL 500 WERE TO BE SENT BACK TO TALBOT TO BE SCRAPPED. BUT AS SOMETIMES HAPPENED IN THE EIGHTIES THIS CAR SOMEHOW SURVIVED. MY CONTACT SAID HE HAD ONLY EVER KNOWN OF ONE PLINTH CAR IN EXISTANCE, AND DOESNT KNOW IF IT STILL EXISTS, SO IN ALL PROBABILITY THIS IS ONE OF MAYBE TWO CARS LIKE THIS IN EXISTANCE, WHICH WITH THE MILEAGE OF JUST 26000 I WOULD SAY IT IS A VERY SPECIAL CAR INDEED.

 

 

Interesting story, not sure how much of it is true though.

Rust at the bottom of the C pillar looks suspect...

Did you convert your Imp gallons 4.55L to US Gallons 3.79L?

 

No, I quite forgot your gallons are smaller than ours (not that anyone here is allowed to sell a gallon of anything thanks to the EU messers - has to be litres).

 

Still that makes the cheapest petrol near my house £1.25 per litre or £4.73 per US gallon or $7.43 per US gallon.

 

Fuel duty here recently went up to just under 59p per litre for petrol and diesel. And there's a further 20% VAT to pay on top of that.

 

Pretty soon it'll be too bloody expensive to travel anywhere. Ever.

That Visa is a tempting little thing. What does "Freins bloqués" mean? I recognise brakes in that.

 

I'd be tempted to make a brisk dash for Caen rather than spend several days (or what feels like it) on a Brittany ferry.

worldofceri - don't forget that on April 1 duty goes up by another 5p, which makes about 8p extra per litre.

 

I've got a 25mpg Super Unleaded-drinking money drain¬!

That's alright, I'm sure to get a pay rise in April.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!1!

 

Yeah, right.

Hey that 145 Diesel belonged to one of the engineers at Perkins, an Italian lad, brought it with him from home!

IYHO, Is it worth a kick or not? Thanks

Right lads, here's the plan: NOBODY BIDS! Leave the way clear for Dicky to make a cheeky 99p purchase which he can then punt out to the other Acclaim owners on here at suitable rates. Are you watching, blackbart?
