New M4 looks very good minus the tail lights, and the the straight line across the front of the car where the bonnet and bumper meet. Anyone know if any of the dealers will have one in the showroom soon?

Noccy_Mondy · 21-06-2014 11:31pm

Fella that owns this had too many vintage cars and so had to let this one go....

Not sure if it's anything special or not..

1978 Citroen CX 2400 GTI Petrol

Sitting up a while, but still looks good, especially inside, but the leather is starting to crack, pics don't do it much justice...

Looks like she was burning a drop of oil too. I was expecting more rust but seems to have weathered fairly well.

edit: it's coolant not oil.

Noccy_Mondy · 21-06-2014 11:44pm

Ya, damn all rust from what I could see, been left up for about 6 years I think, it's a shame really, be a nice little restoration project for someone!

dgt · 21-06-2014 11:54pm

I'd have loved to get my hands on that CX

That 928 is the one that they did on wheeler dealers all those years ago

I've seen a heap of R4 vans recently, must all be out for the summer

Kaiser D · 21-06-2014 11:59pm

That R4 van is lovely, have seen it on the Coast road a few times.

Love that its just passed a cvrt too!

There's a few stories about them. I was just reading through this article http://jalopnik.com/these-are-the-cars-that-actually-survived-i-fast-and-f-453768692. They were heavily modified for stunt scenes. The production crew deemed them unsafe etc. Such a waste they could have been put right by someone who cares about them. I've read build threads were mk1's have been restored from rusty bare shells. I don't understand it myself.

colm_mcm · 22-06-2014 11:12am

I'd imagine they're bits and pieces from various shells stuck together?

I was very surprised to have spotted this NSX in galway today

sorry for the bad quality picture but was all I could do

CianRyan · 23-06-2014 8:53pm

Steep gradient for a carpark.

Wilson's Mallusk, two thirsty Korean wonder wagons. Something a bit different from the norm in this thread.

Hyundai is 2.0 SE with 21k genuine miles. It looked nice but they're awful, awful things. Made £875 + fees, so £980.
Kia is pretty rare being 3.5 V6, full of fake leather and wood. Made £1300 + fees, £1405.
