You'll fit in well with @Turbell and @Steve Swan on here check out their threads - I think they hark from a similar era!

 

[Steve Swan]

Yeah. The Land that time forgot. Hope for me yet tho. It passed it's MOT today
Happy Days...

A time when Men were Men, and sheep were wary....
Competition for you, went to see a mate and made a traffic jam on his driveway with mine and some of his collection, identify some relics from the past

Do my eyes deceive me or is that a CG coupe?? That would be the one I would have, possibly with the Ex. Afrika Corps Staff car second.

Close, but no balloon, Daf coupe, 1108cc Sierra lump with variomatic tranny, fookin fritnin to drive, just plant it and away you go....
Citroen DS is a revelation though, wafts along like a wafty thing, I was straight on to classifieds after I had a go......and straight off when I saw prices....

 

[Steve Swan]

I thought something was not quite right about the front end of the coupe, Daf equally rare. DS is still ahead of it's time now.... Nah. it would need to be Rommel's old staff car and a Turbo.

Blue 58 is on eBay now, think he's had enough

 

[Steve Swan]

I did notice that.............
