Once common cars that you don't see anymore

[Cookies]

My dad taxied a silver one back in the day with blue velour interior, like sitting in a big comfy arm chair.

That white one in the pic, a 2.0 GS had a blue velour interior. It was class.

I remember a mate driving a 2.0d. It was seriously slow, but very very comfy.

I really like Scorpio estates, especially with the Cosworth V6.

Grandfather had one as a company car, faint memories of it being like a big sofa on wheels.

I’d an ex NIO Granada Cosworth saloon - never armoured as opposed to the police ones, they could really boogie when you wanted to. I think I was putting £70 a week through it in 2004

Mind a gold Granada Cosworth going through Carryduff with some superficial vandalism on it but nothing completely irreversible. £400 odd.

The mighty Fiat 126. With all of 28 bhp on tap! School mate had one, fitted a set of spot lamps to the front. Says when he put them on it nearly died as the alternator couldnt cope.

The family had a 124 estate for a bit when we grew up. A yellow one, so very fast Don't remember much about it, we were too young, but I do remember it didn't last long. Turned to rust as soon as dad parked it up in the driveway

That just put me in mind of your old MB6.. that thing was class. Wonder what that would be worth now?

The civic or the accord?

 

[Coog]

Mate of mine bought one of those accords. Was a great driving thing. Needed the gearbox rebuilt IIRC. Would love one now.
