Hmmm i'll go with Cortinas and certainly the XR's and RS' but who on this godforsaken earth is restoring ....................a Maestro

 

[Bewva]

I would love to restore any of the first 3, you can keep the Maestro though.

Saw a fine example today of a Peugeot 505 Familiale.

In surprisingly original condition, down to the plastic wheel covers.

Paint looked a bit tired, but no rust or dents.

It was parked near a building site, with the load area full of building materials.

I can't imagine who would have a genuine car like that and use it for building supplies....

I saw on the news today that there has been a significant increase in the number of thefts in NCP car parks recently, that's just wrong on so many levels.

Saw a Fiat Uno yesterday in what looked like good condition.

Fiat Uno was my first ever car.

Got it a nice red and black racing style steering wheel cover from Halfords and tried to kid myself it looked like a Golf GTI.

It didn't.

Ah bless
