How about this slice of Japan, looks like it could be had easily for less than the £1000 asking price as well.

I think it looks bloody awful, but I should be able to view that in person tomorrow afternoon if anyone wants it.
Was reading about this seller a few months ago, poster was calling him every name under the sun (and some in the shade). Who knows if the nasty words were unfounded or not.
Now you mention it, I have seen his name crop up a number of times.

On an Audi 80 theme, how about this <PH stereotype (for the lady in your life, natch). >PH stereotype.

Rather fetching I think.

I always wanted to find one of these at a scrap dealer just so I could have the seats and turn them into a gaming chair, up until I looked into how hard that was to make! I'd love to drive that until a massive bill kills it then put the engine into something like an MX5, I'm sure there are many reasons it won't work but I don't care!

As an ex-owner of an 80, I feel obliged to sat that while that looks very lovely, you'd have to be a massive wazzock to buy that brand new in 2000!

A retro car for when you have too many speeding points on your licence - Audi 80 1.8 auto.

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C666329

I suppose it's all down to perception and taste but when I saw that I thought "£800?" Wooo.


I love the Senator too. In the late 90s I was working in Aberdeen and used to drive up quite frequently from southern England. I fancied one as a perfect overnight express but decided against it in the end.

Oh I don't think it's a great bargain or anything.

When I made this thread I wasn't thinking of best, or good value, just cars that give us that retro feeling at this end of the market!

I'd love to have a long drive in that Senator. For some reason this kind of car appeals to me much more than a 50k modern barge.

Jeez.. When was the last time you saw an FSO?

It's probably an unhealthy obsession I have with generally crap cars, but I really like this: -

I've been looking for an FSO pick-up for ages. I used to work for Mazda UK and transporters would bring in new Polonez. I never did get why they were connected to Mazda? My manager would always say ''For Scrap Only'' and laugh. In fairness, he was a bit of a tit.

Discounts or no that was a hopelessly, hopelessly outdated car by 2000. Wheezy, thirsty, crashy ride, shopping trolley dynamics. Looks nice though.

Oh good lord that is amazing. I soooo wish I'd bought one of these when I bummed around Aus for a year instead of a dull but bulletproof Subaru.

A tough choice between this thread and the barge one for this car. I think on balance the appeal is the retroness of it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Opel-Senator-/1...

Only 51k miles. Lovely.



That is absolutely gorgeous - actually a bit gutted that I'm not in a position to get that, as that's the best one that I can recall seeing in a very long time that isn't stupid-price and they're an itch I need to scratch at some point, plus that's the perfect spec. The closest I've got was my Omega but mine was only the 2.2 and a manual, I liked the car but neither the engine nor gearbox really suited it.

By total coincidence, I picked this up earlier today :-



325Ci, 113k on the clock, fully stamped book, and 12 months ticket for less than a bag.

It's a very lovely thing smile
