Ultimate classic shite boughted

[Rocket88]

I’ll just leave these here…..

[schonker]

Magnificent!

[hairnet]

can you show @purplebargeken how to do it properly

uber oof - shite - no!

[Lanciaman]

Brilliant! 

[eddyramrod]

I've always wanted one of those!  Like, from the moment I first saw one, when they were brand new.

[grogee]

Wonderful. What a machine. 72/73?

[jacqui sargeant]

Even Mrs Rocket88 approves of such magnificence 😃

[Rocket88]

Think it’s a 71/72…… of the inestimable Martin Howey jobs…..

[grizz]

That was a squirrel worth chasing and grabbing.

Love it, right down to the colour. 
 

Very well buyed/brought/acquired 

[Bren]

2.6 six? Mother in Law seats in the boot?

[brownnova]

Wow… just wow.

[Schaefft]

Excellent purchase, these must be pretty underrated.

[HMC]

Wonderful, look like it comes from a nice collection!

Yes to both……👍🏻Rear seats don’t appear to have ever been used 

[cort16]

Fantastic, what an amazing car!

Better pictures and a video here:

£4000 for it is not a bad price if it's solid underneath and isn't too much of a project car with unobtainium/expensive import parts.

Well done. You are allowed to stay on AutoShite for another 12 months

 

[Spiny Norman]

That is simply glorious! ❤️
Column shifter as well..

[Joey spud]

Ah yes I was smitten when I saw this on Mathewson's site recently,as Derek would say "find another one".

They didn't have much else of interest for me last month although a Morris 8 series E that needed as Dave put it "oily ragging" did have me putting an unsuccessful bid in.

I love these. It is one of my dream car. I wish I'd bought a nice saloon version when the price hasn't risen so much. They're so dorky it turns right back into cool.

[wuvvum]

THE best looking Japanese family car of the '70s.

Exactly….. chintz personified…

[grizz]

This is pure porn.

 I have liked them for as  long as I have known them, I like wagons.

And looking at the price, even after taxes, buyers premiums etc…. Is half of what I expected them to be.

@Rocket88 I have to confess that I am super envious. 
 

 

this look I also love, how the Japanese roll them.

God that is automotive porn

[yes oui si]

Absolutely 100% yes! Wanted one of these since I was a teenager. Lovely thing

[BorniteIdentity]

I saw that on my Facebook feed and thought the price was very fair. This sort of thing can easily be 5 figures.

Well bought. @Spottedlaurelwill like it I’m sure!
