One For Classic Car Fans.....

They'd have been looking at the fuel consumption. At that time Range Roonies were being binned as each year they were typically guzzling their own value in duty free fuel, so most farces dripped them within a year two of one another. The Monaro saloon thing arrived at about that time so had zero prospect of being accepted.

They're thinking of going back to Fords,

Stopped off here this morning

A rather tasty Aston and a very useful Land Rover .

I dread to think how much the Aston is but I feel the Landie is a fair price.

Does this count? Spotted on my driveway getting roadworthy for the 50th bash at Brooklands on the 8th September.

I've posted some beautiful old Lancia's in fantastic condition in this thread, but its fair to say they had a reputation for corrosion which ultimately led to their demise. I saw one today that lived up to that reputation. Lancia did a version of this car for the World Rally Championships in the 1960's, its a nice looking design I think, but clearly the body panels have about as much longevity as wet cigarette papers, check out those holes. As a result I guess this is quite rare, a Lancia Fulvia. Fulvia is a girls name of Latin origin meaning 'blond one'.

And this is older but has lasted much better, a lovely curvy old Citroen.

As seen in Tin Tin (as opposed to the Lancia, which was seen in Tin Worm)

There's sometimes a Fulvia HF, parked at the garage, in Batley, that we use for servicing/repairs
Apparantly the owner has 2!!

Watched a program on TV the other night, old stuff being sold at auction, there was a 1960s Mini Cooper (maybe an S)...on a pallet, an absolute wreck, wings and sills as good as gone, engine exposed and lots of dirt and corrosion, it looked like it couldnt even support itself on its wheels, the owner or auctioneer wouldnt even let someone take a photo of the VIN plate for fear of cloning, ....sold in a room of extraordinarily avid fans and collectors.....£17K .
Once restored, probably with a new shell as a start, considered to be worth £40K MINIMUM.

I saw that, when it was first broadcast
With a new shell, surely it's not the same car ('Grandads Broom' syndrome)

I'd have the Series 2, like a shot

But.... if you want to spend a bit more, on something far rarer, than the modern fat/pimpmobile Rangies

Or, a real Range Rover
I'd hazard a guess that the 'POA' is £50,000+
