Hmmmm.... 2600 SD1 perhaps...?
Yes, maybe I could haggle to buy the one that I already own. The seller is a bit of a cock, but I may be able to get one over on him. He has some moves, but they are pretty transparent moves, and I think I have his psychology down pretty well. Edited by anonymous-user on Friday 21st April 11:08
Running out of options, but 'left field' from where BV sits is a pretty far-flung corner of the motoring world by anyone else's standards.
I'd say either:
a) Maxi, 1750 in run-out early 80's beige, HLS trim and replete with plastic wheeltrims.
b) Mini Clubman Estate, with stripes.
Gotta have something practical to cart round the broken bits from the rest of his collection.

You have to ask?
BV72, I know you like 'em BIG, so...
Cracking, I used to ride home on one of those from school, sitting on the first seat of the balcony level on the RHS above the engine - getting Diesel penis staring at the back of Sarah whatsherface's tousled raven hair. Happy days.BV72, I know you like 'em BIG, so...
I was once thrown off one of those buses for being too sweary. I think that I was in the Fourth Form at the time. I wasn't being sweary at the driver. Just random sweariness.
On other occasions I narrowly avoided several scraggings on that bus. I went to a posh and clever State school and we wore green blazers, but I lived down the less posh end of town, and the journey home passed through the territory of a rough and thick State school which wore blue blazers. My green blazer had a mahoosive target on it. Luckily, my next door neighbour and childhood mate Dave, who was neither rough nor thick, but could pretend to be both when he had to, went to the blue school, and many a time and oft he saved me from a kicking. I wonder what became of Dave in later life. If I met him now, I would buy him a beer.

Mini van.
Riley Elf or some such derivative.
Or a Leyland DAF/LDV - car transporter would be ideal as it would help save money on all those breakdowns
I know the pain of replacing the dreaded bypass hose on the A12 with a oversized spanner / pliers or watching my 2600 SD1 seize up at Dartford at 5mph and my lovely TR7 having oil starvation when booting it out of Dartford tunnel then suffering metal filings on the dipstick and big end fail.
Think I spend more time walking to my girlfriends than driving in the 1980s.
