garethj Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I :heart: these MG Farinas. To carry on the MGB Saloon theme, this one even has an MGB engine, with a bottom end death rattle I think some Rostyle wheels would suit this well, the cad's car when he's fallen on hard times and can't afford a Rover P5. Pass me the trilby hat Wonder if this is a viable daily driver? Does it have a heater and demister? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 That Lada estate is the same colour as the saloon my grandad had (DWY 403Y). The orange Corolla 30 would attract a lot of interest here, wonder if it's as rot free as it looks. I do like the idea of a hotted up Magnette Q-car though I think I'd want a ZB. Is MGB tune the hottest you can go or is there a stage further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethj Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Here's an exact copy of a 1930s car, fitted with the popular 8 inch wheels of the period No bids yet for some reason??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereHareHere Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm liking the Slovakian shite-market. Check out these "hot ponuky"! I always think of these as the last of the truly shite Skodas. 47k km, €150 http://www.autovia.sk/autobazar/skoda-100-110l-861917 Obviously spoilt for choice with these marginally less shite fellers and their near relatives: €165. http://www.autovia.sk/autobazar/skoda-1 ... -m4-815158 Tasty Regata diesel for €200. http://www.autovia.sk/autobazar/fiat-re ... 9-d-858020 Christ, these are ugly fuckers. Colour obviously doesn't help this example, and old smiler there isn't even giving you an engine. Then again, it is only €250. http://www.autovia.sk/autobazar/veteran ... 702-881953 This looks top for €300. What enormous pool of oil? http://www.autovia.sk/autobazar/wartbur ... dan-826121 I kind of went off these after seeing a dead man hanging out of one a few years ago in Poland. But hey-ho - this one's really shiny and cheap! €300 http://www.autovia.sk/autobazar/fiat-12 ... -m4-884445 Get in there! It's what Roy Axe would have wanted. €300. http://www.autovia.sk/autobazar/simca-1 ... -gt-840753 Absolutely fucking brilliant. http://www.autovia.sk/autobazar/wartbur ... 3-s-862090 €333 worth of ULTIM8 WIN.

theorganist Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Cortina 1.6 with autobox FTW.

Pete-M Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 That Royale has popped up a few times. If it was the 3.0, I'd have bought it by now. As it is, it's just bloody tempting. Still, the Aussies had them with 5.0 V8s. How hard can it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Is the 2.8 really so much difference? I bet it still wafts along nicely enough! I know you're very much in the 'No replacement for displacement' camp, but a 5-litre Vauxhall seems somewhat excessive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Is the 2.8 really so much difference? I bet it still wafts along nicely enough! I know you're very much in the 'No replacement for displacement' camp, but a 5-litre Vauxhall seems somewhat excessive... I had a 3.0 Monza years ago and it was a nice thing, but slightly underpowered for my tastes, and the 2.8 is 25 bhp down or thereabouts. Then there's the injection v carb thing. I like injection. It's simple, it's reliable, produces more power and tends to use less fuel so a 3.0 would quite probably be better on fuel after 30 odd years. Excessive? I'll have to look that one up.

keef Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Another Maxi, HLS were twin carbs but it appears to be a single carb in the photo's Just as I remember our V reg Maxi. Perhaps some HLS' "escaped" with a single carb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
