    This is actually a daily driver. It had been for it's nct and failed on tracking and a door handle not working.

    Just wondering, is there a thread for abandoned cars or can I stick a few pics on here?

    Greystones/Bray over the last few days..

    The Figaro & 190 are daily drivers.
    The Austin was on wedding duty.
    The camper is a funny one - going by the UK 'C' reg - that's around '86 (iirc the 'A' reg came in around 83) - but motorcheck shows the reg as a 2014 Mercedes T1?? I know its a Merc chassis underneath, I wonder can you swpa the body like on some of the Range Rovers/Landy Discos?

    I bought a 98 one in 2000 with 20k miles on it. I put 80k miles on it over 10 yrs and the only thing that let me down was the starter motor at 90,k.

    A product if my upbringing, I suppose, but I can't help thinking that Fiats designer was a Mk2 Cortina fan.
    Especially those tail lights.

    Absolutely spotless (slight ding on boot lid, interior immaculate) Corolla today on Hatch St. Even though I own a 97 one of these I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

    Scarce is right. To think they were ten a penny when I was growing up. How many scrapped in 96 scheme always kills me. My road was littered with them.

    I'd say rust got them well before the mid 90's scrappage scheme.

    I reckon the starlets survive so well is because they're one - owner and driven by little old ladies. This one has 41k on the clock.
