Tasty Classics raffle... I won!

[Digby]

Nothing too exciting, but I was quite surprised to see I had won this 5000 mile from new Nippa!



Video of the recovery..



Now, the obvious question is, leave it stock, or have a play...

Nice one! What a fantastic car as well, love these oddities

[WPA]

Well done, I have been tempted to enter the Plymouth coupe raffle but by all accounts it is a tricky car to drive

[The Dictator]

I genuinely don't understand the motivation for entering a competition where this is the "prize"

[journeymanpro]

Love the Tasty Classics content.

[LarJammer]

They also had to give them away when brand new! I worked at a garage chain back in the day & we had one as a prize. Poor thing got abused by all the mechanics every day. I remember it being very good at handbrake turns.
But congrats!

Nice one. I'm in the the Daimler

You should definitely build picture 2

You're not alone. That said, there were over 10k tickets sold!

I just like survivors. I've also had numerous quirky, small, often "boring" things. Modern stuff just makes me yawn.

There's also a huge following for such things at shows such as the 'festival of the unexceptional' etc where likeminded people gather to enjoy anything....well, unexceptional, unusual to see and full of memories of days gone by.

We are firmly in HubNut territory here!

The Daimler is gorgeous.

I did enter the MG ZT one, I now am not afraid of a sagging headliner either.

The Daimler is indeed a thing of beauty.

Re: the MG ZT, when I got an email saying I had won, I opened the link and it said I had won the MG, even though I didn't enter! After speaking to Ben at TC, he said it was just a glitch on the system and confirmed that I had indeed won the Nippa. Either would have been fine to be honest

Did you get the bag of merch?

And a go on the new floor sweeper?

[itcaptainslow]

Amazing! I have a seriously irrational want for one of these.

Shame I didn’t know the competition was open or I’d have entered!

Having it delivered so it's not here yet. Should be this week.
They are chucking some merch in with it.

If the situation at home were a bit different currently, I would have gone up to get it.

Because some of us are bored with fast/supercars:

Mercedes announce the new AMG C63
Mercedes announce the new AMG C63 Black
Mercedes announce the new AMG C63 Black Edition
Mercedes announce the new AMG C63 Vanta Black
Mercedes announce the new AMG C63 Vanta Black Competition
Mercedes announce the new AMG C63 Obsidian Black
And so on.

Same with oooh a new 911 [insert variant here]

When I walk to the office in London, there are now so many supercars they don't turn heads anymore, whereas someone so st like this IS interesting.

If I had a choice between a C63 or 10 sheds, I'd definitely have 10 sheds. We're all wired differently.

[CSR Performance]

Congratualtions!! Definitely one of my preferred YouTube channels.

Oh and yes, have a play

[chris1roll]

Excellent.
If you got chance to take it to C&M on one of their 90's days you'd get loads of attention, much like the hearing aid beige metro one time we were up there.

I'd drive that around for a bit, probably wouldn't be a long-term keeper for me though!

I've entered the raffle for the Plymouth, I really want something like that.
(I didn't get asked the entry question this time for some reason. Just as well as I always overthink things...is it a trick question? If you count the flywheel, then is it 5?...)
Previously entered for the tr7, the lotus, and the Fiat Panda (cos I thought that would be hilarious for a while).

I went up to Ben's cars and coffee event last year, he does seem like a genuinely nice guy who made an effort to speak to everyone.

Surely that's perfect for Festival of the Unexceptional, one of the best car shows going?

I'm struggling to think of an accompanying outfit that would do it justice.

I was aware of the existence of the Nippa but didn't know about the Hyundai connection. Had a soft spot for Mira/Cuore ever since seeing this clip as a ~12 year old:

[Paul S4]

I have entered a few of the TC competitions, but not the Nippa one...

However, that modified pic seems quite a cool thing to do ...as it was a 'free' car so to speak.

Tasty Classics is one of my favourite YT channels, and I subscribe to quite a few...!!

Ben's Nurburgring trips are always worth a watch, especially the old Rover that was rescued !!

[itcaptainslow]

Will be a bit of a shame if you mod it - there’s hardly any left, least of all like that!

Really resisting the temptation to make you an offer on it
