Tesco car park yesterday in Suffolk, Lotus Esprit in immaculate condition, it wasn’t on fire or anything! Rolling with laughter
Couple in their 60s got out and went shopping, I think it was his pride and joy as he kept turning round to look at it across the car park!


I hope they didn't buy too much? Just saying, it's not the kind of car that would be suitable for a full weekly Tesco shop Laughing

It occurred to me last week that it is a very long time indeed since I last saw a SAAB 99 on the road. I suppose there must be some still.

A bodywork place i used to go to, did some saab repairs. The owner had to get a donor car for parts, due to how hard they were to find, Last time i was there, the bodywork place was reshelling a rotten Turbo. He was welding in the turbo bulk head, so basically building a ringer Laughing The lad said the owners paying for this, and the turbos shell is far too gone to repair. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Citroen 2CV. It is what I first drove after passing my test as it was my mums car at the time. Woefully under powered, horizontal gear stick coming straight out of the dash but great fun with front vents like an older defender / series, roll back roof and seats you could take out and use for a picnic etc.

That is really very nice. I've always wanted a Mk2 in Oak Green. Something timeless about red and green, both really suit the car.

Three cars I seem to remember seeing LOADS of, and they disappeared almost immediately! Made me think the build quality must have been so bad they were scrapped at the first MOT Smile

The Bluebird! There were loads on the road, and three years later...none!

The Renault Fuego - very "trendy" very briefly!

Fiat X19

One of my (female) friends lost her virginity in a X19 back in the day - they must have been eager (and small!)

Did any survive? They all seemed to vanish from our streets so quickly!

Maybe junk!!! Wink Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)
