KES2 171 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Mine was a mini van cost £75. I resprayed it purple and put plastic flowers where the rust was - lasted 5 years. Had to punch holes in the floor to let the water out and once when crossing the Pennines in winter the wiper failed in thick snow - had to remove it and use it by hand - that was cold. I ran it in to the back of a Jag and it fell to bits jag untouched next car was a 1300 beetle. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think we all think the same way ad in if only we still had them and the value nowadays. I must admit to having had quite a few . Fiat 500. Fiat 900. Austin Mini. Ford Anglia. Ford cortina. Lotus Cortina. Ford Granada. MK 2 ford cortina. Ford Capri 3 litre.. Zephyr. Then there was the bikes. Triumph tiger cub, bsa bantam, Ariel 350, Triumph 350 bathtub, Matchless 350, Norton Commando I think there were more but most recently the Honda Blackbird and before that the Pan European. What a lovely lifestyle over the years. Jok. Proper bikes them, Jok ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
