Road legal, with that on the bonnet?

Couldn't see you officer, the air intake is in the way.

I think I've found the perfect car for Calum...

The thread was going so well on its new direction.

 

[AMGeed]

This shows far more promise

Ideal,
one Lady owner, full service history and low mileage.
Wants a bit of detailing that's all.

I wouldn't even say that. half an hour with a cheap machine polisher and a bottle of T-Cut would be MORE than ample to bring that back to its former glory!

Any guesses as to what it is, or should I have said 'was' ??

 

[Yugguy]

I want to say Chevette

I want to say Chevette

nothing like a chevette. looking at the pics id say its somewhere in America, but it reminds me a bit of the old Talbot/Sunbeam/Chrysler Horizon like this one

[Frontstep]

Is it one of these

 

[turbopete]

id say so yes. the Horizons didn't have that plastic add on that the car in your pic has. is that the alfa Arna? wasn't it an alfa badged version of the old Datsun cherry? (a limited run cherry 'europe' IIRC)

 

[Craiglxviii]

Is it one of these

Delta?

Edit- nope Arna. Pete got it right.

 

[Frontstep]

Ehh.. I'll have you know I have had one of those fine motors.

 

[turbopete]

the arna or the cherry Europe though??

 

[AMGeed]

The same formula as usual. OP asks a question knowing full well he has posted a link to a shed.
Cue helpful answers advising against said shed and offering better alternatives.
OP doesn't visit thread to post again.
Meanwhile OP sits laughing at all the mugs, me included, who have wasted their time.
Cole had this guy sussed long ago and said as much.
Won't get fooled again.

 

[Yugguy]

Oh aye, I think we are well aware, but I quite like researching comedy car suggestions

 

[Frontstep]

the arna or the cherry Europe though??

I know I had one, it had an alfasud engine in it I think, why springs to mind probably all about the politics of European car manufacturing.

they did have the Aflasud 1200cc boxer engine (I almost bought the Datsun badged one, but couldn't afford the insurance at 17)

they were the same car, just 1 had the alfa badge, the other a Datsun badge. to be honest, I wasn't even aware the Arna was available in the UK and ive only ever SEEN 2 examples of the Datsun version, 1 of which was the one I considered buying

 

[LostKiwi]

Not sure if I should admit to having a bright yellow 1300cc Cherry back in 1983 or not.... (it was called Pulsar in NZ).

 

[Yugguy]

I had one of the much-malinged Yugo 45. Like an even crapper Fiat. Bits were cheap.

My brother in law had one of those quite a few years back. My niece and nephew wouldn't sit upright in the car when they were young, they would only lay on the back seat so they wouldn't be seen !!
