This thread has me wanting an early Laguna

I quite like this - the shape has got better with age I think, although I would try to get some clear indicators https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124799340212?hash=item1...

20,000 miles. Rust free. Outstanding. Apple green. 1 89yr old owner. Seller is definitely doing the owner a service with this clear and honest ad.

Not the traditional 'shed' but for under £1500 someone should really snap this one up?

Cool car in a great colour. A very decent ad ; someone here needs to buy that.

I think clear indicators would look naff on that

Bargain and a great colour, but for me it'd have to be an early example without the colour-coding. A design classic.

Agreed, I like the Punto cab, although strangely I hate the A3 that has a similar shape.

This is quite charming if one prefers a tin top. Easy wiring access is a bonus.

Yes. A great drive too. I did quite like the swish one with alloys and leather, "Luxury" I believe it was called. A classic case of Ford "Ghia" improvements of old.

[shedweller]

That Ka is a bargain and such a nice colour....

Another fiat - A reasonably priced Uno, admittedly a 1.0ie..... but only £1500 which a couple of years ago would've been Bananas money.
If I buy it I could tell my Mrs it's an "investment car" luckily it's miles away and I really want a 90s kei car so I shall hold on it.....burning a hole in my pocket it is!!!

As a 17 year old this was going to be my first car because the insurance was quite cheap... until I found out an AX GT would be the same to insure and I never looked back! Couldn't believe it!

Owned many much grander cars but not many that relished a twisty road like the 19 16v. Remember it had a factory front strut brace, proper keen turn in, rear end lightened up really well with the front being so planted. The other surprise in the handling was an original 1990 honda prelude 2.0 16v 4ws, it simply drove away from many more exotic cars along the back roads. Puma, various Ka were all wonderful too!!
