Once common cars that you don't see anymore

[c_rad]

Spotted this the other day at McDonald's while grabbing a quick coffee for me and Happy Meal for the young cub.

Aside from being dirty, it looked in decent enough nick.

Loved that car, sold it for the new S3 - don't see many of these at all

I literally can't remember when I last saw one. They were never common, but just seem to have disappeared completely.

The white Peugeot looks like it has been converted to run on LPG.
Filler on the bottom of the rear bumper.

I used to run past the house it lives in. Always looked to sit outside in the elements which surprised me given the condition.

Think it's a young person too, as I used to see it all the time with a set of R-plates on it.

The big A4 is a 2.6 and that’s a Volvo 480 behind the Cougar.

the road tax is killing these £760 a year depending on year off manufacture

Just seen an Aston Martin Rapide in Sion Mills! Pretty rare by all accounts, actually not very big in person

 

[svensktoppen]

Definitely handier than you'd think, certainly daintier than a Panamera or a Quattroporte. And very pretty too.

Don't think I've ever seen more than one or two. No idea if grownups fit in the back, but kids should be no problem.

 

[svensktoppen]

Edit: surprisingly affordable too Well, ignoring running costs obviously - but at those prices and that pretty, who cares
