Modern Cars That Have Disappeared.

[Kiahatsiu]

Apologies ... would it help if I said I thought a V8 SD1 could be a good thing if rebuilt (from scratch & with appropriate mods that ignore certain original design components) properly?
Although I guess even if you custom rewired, fitted an LS3 and completely different drivetrain, you're still dealing with how to do the interior ...

And no a Rover 3500 doesn't count for this thread, they all died years ago!

But why Forg, Why? Just let sleeping shitboxes lie. And this is from someone who has owned a few Triumphs.

They just looked so swoopy & cool, like the 80's had arrived early - and everyone yearns for the 80's.

I came across a super clean beige Camira wagon

Funny you mentioned that.....
This popped up the other day in my Facebook feed.... Bloody tidy.
Not sure if you can see it?

At a shitty unit complex I go past some mornings:
Pink Ford Capri convertible with tri spoke alloys
Excel with supra style rear wing
Mirage with evo bodykit
N14 Pulsar with GTiR bonnet.

It's like a 1998 edition of Hot 4s time warp.

Weren't they the ones with the (massive for a pommie car of that era) 4L 6cyl Rolls engine?

(Austin)Vanden Plas Princess
parents had one in the 70's.in Sydney

remember it had some problem and was in mechanics for months as they waited for Rolls to send parts - seamail. think it was some gasket

Spotted two unloved Toyota Tercels nose to tail on a lawn over the weekend.
Forgotten all about them it had been so long since I had seen one.

One of those in our complex too - it does have a SR20DET in it too (and broken gear bag). Owner has a tidy GTI-R as well.

A lot of Lancer Coupes in South Canberra still and half of which have "custom" body kits

Not modern at all, but I cant remember ever seeing one. This article from 1976.

Starting out as an apprentice over 20 yrs ago I was made responsible for keeping a 3500 vitesse running. Really made me question my choice of profession.

Vitesse twin plenium?

Pffft sd1. Try daily driving a p6b.

[Captiva Fan]

Actually, P6 was probably better built than an SD1; less British Leyland management-incompetence-plus-union-shirtiness maelstrom-of-fail.
