Classic cars that have been passed over...

BMW 2002

As an aside on Ebay I am selling a workshop manual for a classic engine, of sorts, a Rolls Royce CV12 27 litre engine as used in the Challenger Tank.

 

[Trillian]

the 2002 is an absolute classic!

things like the MK1 fiesta, Metro, citroen AX, renault 5,

The Wartburg 353 - here's a nice one from the late eighties.

that number plate suggests '72/'73 to me
unless it's a tax free late 80's one?

This is the true classic... still going strong after nearly 60 years.

I had one of these for about 10 years - sold it in 2001

If you have enough class, style and money to own a 353, you can afford a personalised number plate

i lack the class and style, i'm afraid

Our first car was a Morris Oxford Estrate, a bit like this...
Dad bought it off the butcher. One Sat afternoon trip out, my dad took 12 (!!!!!!) kids out in it, for a picnic! Brave man!

Skodas were very good at winning their class in rallying, and still are I think.

I really like the Skodas I've had, two Estelles and a Rapid in the past and now an Octavia.

Saab were funnier at winning rally's

they used to beat porche because of how the regs were at the time for two stroke engines

TBH, the new skodas are really very good and the rally winning ones were prepped in the UK IIRC, but the run of the mill pre VAG stuff earned their reputation, and totally pilloried by the likes of the Sun

Porsche 914.

Proabably the ugliest Porsche ever made but they handle really well (mid engined joy) and are great for turning into EVs.
