There's something so.. transporter-ish about that one
PS: Have these ever been driven, at all?

they look factory fresh
but one dissapointment is the lack of interior photos

Scroll down mate. They're boner-rific.

[FarmerPug]

holy f**k they are:

thats a proper bmw interior, its sporty but still has wood, and no idrive which seems to make the new dashes look like a tv cabinet, and the plastics of older bmws seems a bit higher quality.

[ToddM]

I know, right? And you almost missed them

I reckon it'd cost me 2 grand to insure the wing mirrors on one of those

[FarmerPug]

does it not get classic insurance
but id say fuel bills would get you

Hehe, deffo. Would you even be able to LPG one of those? It would be a damn shame to do it, I know but just wondering

BTW as you said classic insurance I might as well ask.. what are the benefits and how much cheaper is it? What do you reckon a 1971 Lada would cost per year for a 17 year old? It's LHD and it's not even registered in the UK so is it even worth doing?

[FarmerPug]

lpg would work surely them things are in the lpg place all the time and you cant tell its on lpg the tank fills the spare wheel hole the filler goes anywhere on a car like that below the bumper to keep the body original and the switch will fit in a blanking plates place.
the difference is huge my aunt 10 years ago insured a vw camper van (square one) for about £130 the zafira then cost £700

And an XUD9TE


Wish I managed to finish building this, but was building it for someone after he closed the business I was working for. He turned out to be a tosser so just left

If you want to go a bit retro, there's always something like this:

Or even this if you want to be economical with the truth to your insurers:

I like where you're going with this, Mr. Waue

PS: What do you guys think?

The 309 isnt a bad wee car, i had a phase 2 diesel and it took the abuse of being rallied round fields very well. I dont know how reliable old pug petrols are so cant say much about the engine, but the rest should be ok.
If you are going to get an old diesel its better to get an old XUD they were the best back then, and if you need parts theres still a lot of cars about with xud's in them.

I like the idea of that nova with the 3.0 V6 in it and it's sleeper look on the steelies
I'd be whipping the seats back out to maintain the sleeper look myself
Although saying that, I doubt i'd fit in the fecker

[FarmerPug]

the v6 nova does have quite an appeal as a sleeper, keep the rusty arches and dented wing they add to the effect.
But a v6 in a small fwd car must be a recipie for disaster when it comes to corners.
