Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Wonder what the white car behind the triumph is, Part of me says cortina MK1.

If you have some time to waste and like porsche 912's....

Thought you were more Jag or is that Morse?

What don't you get?

*That's not Bognor

Stunning... There used to be a minter in the same colour parked in my old street in Chelsea... She was a pleasure to walk past every day...

Begrerac had a Triumph.

My mate Jon had one of them SMs, sold it for sixty faasand paands. Which was about what he spent on it every year to keep it on the road.

It's beautiful, but is it worth 5 996's?

My dentist is trying to sell his 964, I wonder if he'd give me a discount on my root canal if I bought it from him?

It was a Triumph 2000 convertible.

Jeez, that's a lot of £.
There was a ice blue one on the bay the other day for £18,000 but obviously not a nice as that example!
Yeh, Bergerac is more Triumph.
This would be great for throwing some bikes and family in the back!

Thanks for that. Amazing Workshop pictures.
Now back to work...

I haz first dibs on a chum's CX Famaililialielia when he decides to sell. Not as hawt as a DS, but that means there's half a chance I can afford it.

Sweet!
I somehow managed to persuade my wife to put this up in our kitchen!

It's a big original dealership picture

The man's obsessed...

i'd love a knackered old safari. i'll bet that are all fucked for a reason

True!
I've had tons of,citroens in my time - all were money pit shit heaps including a DS, GS, GSA, 2CV- still love em though

Love a citroen, the suspension rocks.

Loved my diesel visa, still have a soft soft for a BX, CX DS, XM and xantia.....looking at c5 diesels at the mo.

Working on the DS at the moment. Car parts are pretty easy to find, repair panels and even a bit of new old stock to repair the suspension units. Difficulty seem to be matching interior on an south african built slough knock down kit.

I wish they'd done a C6 estate. I'd be all over a C6 estate.

That makes us two

I used to work at a magazine publishers where the art director and art editor both had CXs... They seemed to spend every weekend driving their machines to a garage in Norwich...

Beautiful cars tho', lovely drive... When they were running...

Art director later sold his CX and bought an MX-5 for stupid cheapz for his missus... He wound up driving it himself all the time...
