Always one to help the elderly in society I have unselfishly come to the rescue of STMO.
Should Steve need some touch up paint for the mighty 1.4 four pot he can use this brief video as a handy reference.
I would say the match is uncanny. :y

;D ;D
That's a bit too lime e ::)

D'yer know what, I've got to say, it's almost a perfect match. Thank you :y
One problem, though. Modern cars, such as the Astra J, simply do not rust during, say, the first seven years of ownership. Who, in their right mind, would own anything older than that? It would be embarrassing to be seen in an old banger with rusty wheel arches or the like. :)

About 99% of the god fearing people here at OOF. :-* :-* :-* :-*
My Signum is eight years old. Do I need to worry about the tin worm? ::)

Cars built in the sixties and seventies certainly suffered with excessive rust.
Some of the most expensive were the worst. The Jensen Interceptor despite costing as much as a house was not immune to the ravages of the tin worm. :-\

If you stood and looked at a Lancia for more than five minutes, you could actually see the pile of brown dust building underneath it.

Yes, the Lancia Beta in particular had a poor reputation.
Shame really because I hankered after the coupe version back in the day.

The Lancia Beta, Delta and the Alfasud were the Eyetalin cars that gave me a hard on. 8) Sadly they all crumbled to dust as quickly as my youthful dreams of suducing Sofia Loren lookalikes! :-\ ;D

My father owned two of these. A 1.2ti and a 1.5ti. Great little drivers cars that handled as if on rails. :y

Introduced in the same year as the Morris Marina.
One was was technically advanced the other wasn't.
One handled like a dream the other didn't. :)

One rotted away too quickly, the other nothing like quickly enough.. ::)

They did a 1.5 Ti........producing a mahoosive 105bhp.

Although I never achieved Alfasud ownership, I did have a Marina Coupe 1800TC! 8) :y
I think the Pussy Magnet in the Alfasud was stronger than the Marina's however.... :-\ ::) ;D

More room for a shag in the marina, though. ;D

Agreed. You'd need the more desirable and super sexy Ital to get any real action. ::) ::) :)

Oh I think my Marina in Mustard with a black go faster stripe down the bonnet served it's purpose. 8)
As Uncle STEMO points out there's plenty of room and quite a few young ladies enjoyed the ride! :y

Maybe, if you were gay, you could pull the boys in that one. I don't think girlies would appreciate a Swedish bus that's built like a tank.
