out and about in my taxi

[STUNO]

Driving around my city today (cameraless and passengers aboard ) I saw 4 interesting standouts1992 ? mazda cosmo, 1994 toyota camry coupe, early transit camper (at night but seemed to be complete with rusty bits) then pulled up at the lights behind a DB9 volante. All in use and all very rare at this end of the world, I need to buy a new camera ! quickly !

 

Edit Jan 2017......Just found this thread, so stuck it back up so you can drool over it, or dislike it if you can find the button 

[STUNO]

my own RX7 sold recently...new house !.....old camera too..

[STUNO]

the rest of it , waiting for the buyer to arrive

A TRIUMPH FANATIC AND SECRET ROVER LOVER. I THINK ALL OF THESE WERE ROADWORTHY

[outlaw118]

[michiel]

Wow, is he trying to collect one in each colour they came in?I'd still pick the Rover from that collection... and nice RX-7!

[STUNO]

[michiel]

Lovely Junior!

a bit more of my history ! my 71 1800S taken in Shackerdale rd Wigston in H Sceptre territory about 1975 reg.GMC331J .

bought it in london when I moved there and sold in 77 when I moved back to NZ

[scrappylad]

Your old 1800 is no longer on the road now it would seem, but it at least survived for a few years after you sold it.The enquiry is complete The vehicle details for GMC 331J are: Date of Liability 01 12 1983 Date of First Registration 01 07 1971 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1798CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour BLUE Vehicle Type Approval null The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry.

[STUNO]

many thanks for that scrappylad .it was in good nick when sold .only a couple of bubbles in one rear door, and a leak in the power steering reservoir. ive got the invoice for it somewhere (why have I kept it for 33 years ?) and will post it just because I can.

[STUNO]

ahh found it ,

what a sad case I must be

[25v6turbo]

Pleased i was sitting down when i saw the Triumph pic,drowl,drowl....

[STUNO]

imagine that.if thiswas car of the year--what wasnt

what were they thinking of in the headlight department ?

[pogweasel]

Very odd. Appears to be a Vitesse bonnet with the outer lights blanked off. Why?Dig the rear wheel camber - and it's not even moving!

[Richard]

Did we get Heralds with four doors in the UK? As far as I know they had enough trouble keeping two shut on corners.

[pogweasel]

No, we didn't. I think they were only produced overseas.Some years ago there was an exhibition of the design drawings for this & many subsequent Triumphs from the same pen (Michelotti?) at the V&A. Fascinating.

[Richard]

The Herald seems to be one of the few cars that isn't profiled on the excellent Austin-Rover website.They used to scare me when I was little, they looked very angry to me, especially the Vitesse models.

[Milford Cubicle]

The Standard Herald is on there.http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/index.htm ... eraldf.htm

[STUNO]

s

saw what wuvum has got so decided to put this up to make his look good

its luvverly living where the roads arent salted. the cars just keep on and on

JX plate says 1979 but it may an earlier import

[Richard]

The pillar mount aerial on the wing is spectacularly shite.

[Volksy]

I like Rotarua, apart from the eggy smell I used to Live in Whakatane, on Ohope Beach. What a fantastic place!

[STUNO]

had my sister here today .she divides her time between UK and NZ and is not a shite fanatic.has a redeeming feature though ! she doesnt like wasting money on buying new cars. late last year she gave away her volvo 340 in UK and was given a rover , asked her what model it was---answer DONT ASK ME !! end of that...owns a 1989 corolla in NZ which sits for 6 months at a time (garaged) and never misses a beat.ROTTEN EGG SMELL IN ROTORUA . I LIVE HERE SO THE AIR SMELLS SWEET TO ME.

Ahoy hoy! What a belter! Rare too, most of them in the Antipodes got the flat front I think, and you could get a 4-dr RS2000 as well. Q-car or what?
