Once common cars that you don't see anymore

Posted this in the random mobile thread but I suppose this would be fitting place as well! 1979 Leyland Maxi 1750 recently resurrected from a 20 year sleep.
As much as people malign them, BL cars really weren’t any worse than others of the period and one positive consequence of their, in my opinion, undeserved reputation is that prices remain low and they are a very affordable way to get into classic motoring compared to Fords or Vauxhalls of the same era.

Is it being saved? Mate had one about 10years ago was a comfy big thing to drive
Saw a standard 5dr early 306 on Lisburn Rd, purpley blue with XSi alloys. Looked to be a daily driver, DAZ reg, but couldn't get a pic

Guy down the road here had an NI reg identical to that until a few years ago, checked the reg and it's on sorn so maybe up his driveway or in his garage. Had had a wee weld on sill last I saw it about 5 years ago.

Random one but drove past a house at week on way to Scrabo tower. In the drive was a r32, s2k & a mk7.5 golf r all lying up covered in green moss and dirt and from. They actually look stupid low miles but covered in slime/grime & moss. Strange as they are all (esp mk7.5) newish cara. Anyone know the story? Would love the s2k

Good on him! Keep some nice toys and go out with a bang, not just stuck in a chair in the retirement home

I see that about East Belfast regularly. It's very clean considering how much it appears to be used.

Or it’s just an auld fella bought a Nissan coupe 20 odd years ago because they were an alternative to a calibra and slightly bigger than his micra.
These were everywhere back in the day and loads of old folk bought the autos for slipping about in. My dads mate had one after a calibra and celica.
