The 47 year old bit of fun and the 20 year old daily :-D

Both looking great. Your 20 year old daily looks in great nick.

I suppose, for a nice change I should contribute to the thread. From a couple of months back, my 20 year old daily.


Quick phone snap, that oddly worked out. Given these have a B-Series engine I thought the "B" on the pillars worked. The daft old thing is still going anyway.

Sadly don't have any 47 year old bit of fun.

The high rise spoiler sat right in the middle of the rearview mirror hidden Garda zone. Plus it didn't have a third brake light in the rear screen(option delete. Other than the A/C it was fully option delete. No ABS, airbags, radio, clock, parcel shelf). And was a little too pimp my ride and noticeable to the less salubrious members of society at the time. Aero wise it was only noticeable above 80 odd MPH anyway. The low spoiler does the job at normal speeds. I still have the high rise wing though.

Funny enough over the years I have seen a couple of DC2 and especially DB8 Tegs that came from the Japanese dealers with the lower spoiler. EG:



Seems it was a dealer option for those who wanted it. I have a couple of Honda Access brochures from the time and the joke is the low spoiler is dearer than the high wing. IIRC 60,000 Yen compared to 40,000. Makes sense as it has the LED brake light. It's also better made(and lighter). The R spoiler is glass fibre and a bit "homemade" under the paint. At least the early ones were.
