Once common cars that you don't see anymore

[FM155]

Think I've spotted that before, Stockman's? Just looked on streetview and can see the roundal on the wee side building. You can just about see the last few letters of Alexander Ltd on the wall where the Stockman's sign is. Class!!

You can just about see an 'NDE' just above the left side of the door and a smaller 'Ltd' out to the very right hand side.

You fancy selling this? I have a couple old 2002tii adverts framed in the garage. Would be cool to have a local dealership one.

That brings back a few memories - I served my time there (Mallusk) in the 80s. That photo is a bit earlier but it's pretty much what it was like when I was there. Good times!

2 door avenger has to be super rare, what's the story with it? Hardly an ex works car is it?????

 

[FM155]

Super rare but looks comprehensively shagged. Don't see a cage in it either unfortunately.
Plenty of vegitation in the BM too..

 

[vw1500]

02892 phone code on it so been used within the last 20years lol

It's their Mallusk site, the other pics were their place off the Falls/Springfield Rd.

North Howard street i think, that's where my da started with them

Avenger was indeed a rally car and in fact has a story but unsure yet if I can share as the owner just recently passed il have to check. Bm lay for 8 years growing into the vegetation

When I was a kid, we lived down the street from Dan Daly when he used to rally avengers (70's) and prep them in the garage at the house. They are class looking cars when done right, the works ones were lovely.

Is that E36 a 6-pot? I feel the need for one even if impractical.

I’d love an E36 saloon with a 6-pot as something to tinker with. I’ll guess there’s not a lot of E36 saloon left there, though.

There's one sits on the shore road which seems to be daily used. Not sure which engine is in it though but a rap to the door could persuade them to sell

I'd be fairly certain the manager of McDonald's in Sprucefield owned that BMW back in the day when I worked there. (Only 21 years ago!)

Cool! My dad bought new cars off him for a long time and I remember seeing the Datsun rally car that he raced in the 80s anytime I was down.

Do you remember them having this 120A?

I think I know the car, is it dark green? If I’m right it’s a 318i.
