Rover SD1 V8s GAU460V. Trans-Am GTA J180TBW.

I sold the Rover to some Asians that would have hammered it into the ground & looking back now i should have kept her, but i was young & foolish :(

The Trans-Am


Sold her back to Jon, whom i bought her off (for the same price). I LOVED the noise & the speed 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-):) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

When I was younger I had a succession of Mini Cooper S's. The one I wish I had now was a 970 S. It would be worth a fortune now assuming it hadn't rusted away!

Remember buying back in the 70s a knackered mini unseen (really rotton - holes round the rear window) for the 4 new tyres to fit on the wifes mini for MOT.  Paid a tenner!!  Turned out to be a debadged 970S.  Sold the motor and box for £200, the disk brake set up and numerous other parts - think I cleared £300.  Some bargain.

5971FG.

Mk One Cortina Woody Estate.

Sold it in, circa, 1985 as I was as skint as a skint thing in skintland at the time.    :-[

MOT's it every year (had it for 5 or so years) and only added mileage from home to test station and return year on year.  Local car from new, all books and manuals, supplying dealer transfer on dash still, no rust or rot, a really fine example.

Ersehole that bought it promptly put the number onto a Beemer of some sort and scrapped the car.....

Ringpiece philistine.....   >:(

Ford Capri 2.8 injection 1982 Y Reg. Sold in 1997 due to having a company vehicle at the time and it was hardly used. 3 and a half years of virtually trouble-free motoring, sold it for only £50 less than I paid though. :(
