yip. not sure if i would want my kids driving around in one tho. the lads getting closer to that age where i just know there is gonna be a piece of shit he has just bought with his pocket money, lying on the drive waiting for me when i return from work.
I voted Talbot sunbeam ☀️ Actually drive a TR6, which is a lot like the superlight in that its huge fun at relatively slow speeds, and everyone lives you when you’re driving it
I had a dark green Firenza in the early 80’s. no one really knew what they were then but they certainly kicked ass against some of the hot hatches Had a mini pick up - they fetch huge money now - and a mini metro with go fast red seatbelts
My Dad had both a Marina and an Allegro Fond memories of one with velour seats ,and the other with the plastic that peeled your skin off on sunny days ! We covered many miles in both with no breakdowns as far as I remember . Seem to recall they were very “bouncy” cars
My dad had a Mini Clubman van from the 60s that he briefly used for his business. It lasted a couple of months and looked a little like this: He then replaced it with a Mk3 Cortina 1300XL Estate, similar to this one: The Cortina managed to burn out the rear axle on our way home from a holiday in the West Country. I have to say, at the time I was less than impressed by old British clunkers.
I voted randomly cause theyre all shiteboxes , still lust after a mk1 Escort but id stick an Ls V8 in and make it a widebodied lowered beast
My old man worked for the Vauxhall works team in the 70,s and regularly brought a perk of the job home at weekends , i can remember hanging off the rollcage in the back of something similar to this at a very early age lolol.
Not as much as the vehicles from his job in the 60,s , that was with the Norton scrambler team , he also did a stint at Morris commercial so played a large part in the genealogy of the shiteboxes in question
My old Dad escaped the Dagenham School of Bodged Design as a young man in the 1950s and emigrated to the US, where he helped design shiteboxes for Chevrolet. Lucky escape for him.
