Glorious sound off the six. Forgot I had another photo from the yard as well. A final resting place for the best of British. Rover 75, 25, Maestro, Wolseley Hornet and a Mini 1000. If cars could talk about their history!!
The Hornet in the picture was built into another shell as it is stone rotten and beyond any sort of economical (or sensible) repair. Shame really as it was a one family owned car from new and it’s never nice to lose originality.
Rare machine indeed these days! Especially reasonably unmolested and unrustedDon't see too many normal V70s anymore never mind a grey V70R with cinnamon leather. Delightful. Looked immaculate too. VUI plate if anyone knows it
I drove the ‘liftback’ version of the Persona for a couple of years. Even though it was a mix of Colt/Lancer/Galant, parts were hard to get, the 1980s designed engine got 32mpg (calculated) with easy driving and it fell into a real high tax bracket for a 1.5 as it was emissions based. Cheap, tinny, random misfire I never got to the bottom of but it was better than walking.
Are that shape known for rust!?Rare machine indeed these days! Especially reasonably unmolested and unrusted
They came in a lurid Orange too, almost candy. Not what you expect from a family estate
@NI_Volvo_Nut will know it I'm sure. Can't be too many kicking around here.

I believe this is it. Sits on stockman's laneSaw a grey MG ZT saloon I think it was this morning on the westlink - bit dented up, had the vents in the front arches but the grill at the front didnt look right
Looking on google I dont think it was now, no idea, had no badges on the boot lid
Edit:
Was a ZS, had these grills

There is a ropey looking, but fairly solid MG ZT190 that lives in Finaghy. I was going to buy it for the princely sum of £450 but Hughes were being pissy because it was a CAT S
