Owned both of these for quite a long time now, quite embarrassed how little use they have had over the past few years.

Can you buy a pair of sealed beam headlights off the shelf in Coventry, in a Saturday afternoon panic the day before an event?  Surprisingly, yes.

Fibreglass front end?

Whatever, it looks better wearing that than the floppy Sebring nose.

Yep. It’s thought it was fitted from new, or nearly new.

Is 1991 to young to be called "a classic" ?

 

not when it's a red Subaru Brat it's not!

I think people forget just how old 90's stuff is now, Your Brat and my Golf are 35 years old! that is 100% in 'classic' age, when i got my first beetle it was only 28 years old and that was in '99

You've seen them all before but any excuse to post some new photos!

My 1978 Opel Manta which the carb fell of the other day! It looks and drives great now the carbs bolted back on again but I'm not a fan of the auto gearbox.

And my 1989 Toyota MR2, I'm actually really enjoying using this at the moment, it's not particularly fast but it just feels great, really engaging and fun, like cars should be.

Interesting reg on that. APE is on the DVLA banned list and has never been issued before or since. APE-T was the only time it was ever used and I'm not sure why it was allowed.

I bought my first Cadillac in 99 and immediately started taking it to shows.  It was a mere babby of 20 tender years then...
