Classic (old, retro) cars for sale £0-5k vol 2
Discussion
All the plastic on that Rover reminded me that it's years since I've seen a Transit Flareside.
There's one on eBay - over thread budget, but appears to be in surprisingly good condition.

Quite tempted by a 1994 Cavalier 1.8i LS for £1650...
What's really geeky and which I hadn't notoced before is that the tacho is labelled as "x1000 min-1" ...
And why do modern cars not have the fuel gauge calibrated in litres?
Also ABS badge on tailgate is class!

I never understood flaresides. There were loads in the USA when I was over there and I couldn't help but think that there's loads of wasted space just for the square bed shape. Surely it would be better to have a larger bed with the wheel arches protuding inside it? That way you maintain a larger area for storage.

Plus they always looked weird.

The proper old ones were called step sides - for a reason - they had a convenient step built in.Plus they always looked weird.
They also looked better - these Transit flaresides are ugly IMO
It depends what you carry - most pick ups rarely carry a full load and wheel arches make loading boards / pallets a pain.
EDIT - Step / Flare actually seems to be a difference in Chevy / Ford terminology

I love these little Renault 5 monacos. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-5-MONACO-SPECIA...YwAAOSwrL9duvv8&redirect=mobile
Shame it's auto and would look absolutely no different if the photos were taken with a sepia filterSome interesting results in the sub-£5k category here:

That seems well priced. I also like the Clio alternative as it had the peppy 1.8, this low mile example is priced so high as to not likely be driven, which is a shame. Small, posh, nippy, leathery, what's not to like? £4k Baccara, but only 10k on it.

Even better than the Monaco. What a cool little thing. You don’t seem to get these little cars with a luxury spec any more in the same way. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2019...

This used to be mine for £1880, I believe the cheapest running and driving 205 GTI in the UK at the time. As far as I know it's being nut and bolt restored in Wales now

A 1.8, eh? A friend's mum had a 1.6 and it was colloquially known as 'The Rocket', felt far faster that any of it's peers in our 17/18yo group. The 1.8 must feel like a Tesla soxboy said:
WTF are those lights beside the instruments??

The condition of this vehicle is exceptional and is virtually unmarked throughout the interior and exterior.
Yeah, apart from some massive idiot lamps to stops old Doris driving round all the time with her indicators on!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
