^^^ Always liked those old Audis back in the day. The large hatch idea was very redolent of the Rover SD1, and a concept sadly lacking today.
SAAB were selling loads more large hatches than saloons in the 80s and early 90s ,then someone decidedthat executives preffered saloons and the 9-5 that superceded the 9000 was a saloon with an estate option.
Whatever happened to that Swedish company ?...
I know France is France and this sort of thing isn't uncommon but this is a field behind a workshop about ten minutes from where I live. There are some interesting Opels I couldn't get close to and, unbelievably, an intact 1950s Limoges trolleybus. Goodness knows how or why it got there. First car I ever drove, a Simca Aronde...

Bentley no MOT history on file for it
That's because computerised MOTs didn't start till much later than its last time on the road. Were these still current in 1981 X reg ? or possibly re-imported from somewhere else ?

Honda?? are you on drugs? its an early 50s AJS 500 Model 18In my defence the "quoted" picture was the only one that worked and the forks, front end and shocks look identical to the Honda CD.
It is obviously wrong however so I shall go self-flagellate myself forthwith.

Whilst walking the dog, found an old Defender reg RFO255. In a very sorry state!
That's a bit odd, RFO is most likely an age related plate, so it lost its original plate and someone applied to DVLA to get that one. Usually once they've been through that the vehicle's restored and running.john2443 said:

Always thought a Traction-Avant would make a great hotrod with the '34 Ford look and it being low and wide. Adapt an L98 Corvette frame and running gear and you have a blisteringly fast hotrod that handles and stops with 35+mpg..Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
