What does rice wine have to do with this?

A Magenta Stag... the only pink convertible a straight bloke can get away with being seen in.

This was looking a little worse for wear with a funky red interior [quote]

Can't figure out whether that's a conversion for some Arab Sheik or similar, hence the weird boot aerial, red interior & the wheels - or a bitza cobbled together by a man in a shed?

The weird antenna looks like the base of an aircraft VHF Rod antenna.

Spotted this last week. My old man had a white Maestro turbo brand new back in the day.



The pictures do it too much justice in all honesty. Lots of rot & moss.

I'd love to save it, was tempted to knock on the door as it clearly hasn't moved for months but I don't really have the space for any more cars!

Why do so many Stags have tow bars?

Tow around a large toolbox for engine repairs by the roadside ?

Sorry.

Don't see to many Maestro's these days. Earlier this week had the need to drive through the village of Banwell, when waiting in traffic I see not one, but three of the Austin Rover Group's finest! This link shows two...they've now been joined by a red one.

I know it's a bike but.....saw this in a Thai nightclub of all places.





Can anyone ID this? been sat under a Tarp for a good while now. I'm going with either a yank of some description or an 80's Toyota Sedan barge type thing.

'72 Ford Galaxie.


I've been wrong before

[Geekman]

This 560SEC has been sitting in Casino Square carpark in Monaco for as long as I've been going there - wish I could rescue it



And this Aston obviously can't have been abandoned that long as it's a modern car, but again, I've never seen it move and it's always covered in dust.

Another Aston Martin owner off "Shooting tigers" perhaps?

club sport??

Sport, same car though bar e/windows, mirrors, locks, and boot release.

Sure? That wheel and paint colour combo looks very CS to me. (Sport owner myself).

Yes, it does come up at Porsche as CS but badged Sport with relevant stuff, not M030 or whatever the LSD number is, can't remember. RHD

Hardly a classic (yet) but saw this on a carpark in Hopwood, Birmingham this weekend. It's not that bad yet but it's got two flats and algae on both flanks. Other than the engine might've let go, why wouldn't the owner sell it?

the engine might've let go

Strong probability I imagine, and I guess there are so many in a similar state that it's hard to give them away?

Same for anything that age anything over a few hundred and it's not worth fixing it. Could be running perfectly but needed new tyres and tax, boom that's ~£800 and I'd expect it's worth at most about a grand as a runner[1].

[1] Parkers only allows you to go back to 2006 for prices where a running RX-8 would only be worth £1500 at best and that's an early car from 2004.... If it's not running it's only going to be worth scrap value.
