Seen a Mazda 323f today. The one with the pop up lights. Looked really clean.
Also spotted a place in Newtownards with a nova, Williams Clio and I think a Carlton in the garden. Anyone on here?

Just realised who you were. Lol. The last thing I seen you in was a white Belmont I think.
Was out with work just.
I would ask if you would sell the nova but you know how that would end up. Lol

Impossible to insure and they rusted to pieces in no time. Still a class looking car today!

Dad had loads of them, bar an Escort Ghia he only ever had Rovers! Always an Si too, I could only dream of an SLi with electric rear windows, never mind the holy grail of a GSi!

Great news
I remember that fellas one being the height of luxury with shiny wood everywhere but I was only ever in it at like 3 in the morning. Seemed like a lovely smooth driving car.

Mum and dad still have their old 740. Pretty sure it will be the last thing moving on earth once everything else has come to an end, lol :innocent: Indestructible!

OK, maybe not once common in this country, but my uncle has this sitting in a garage for 20+ years, there can't be too many left I wouldn't think. I would have liked to get some pics as he had planned to bring it out, but due to poor health it's been left. Column shift, front bench seat, and an 8 track stereo. The thing is huge, the bonnet is about the size of a smart car.
