    I can’t be bothered listing them all cos it’s 58 cars/vans and 18 motorbikes, a couple of them were quite good

    Engines where great, just bodywork was worse than a t2.
     
  18. Agreed . They were ACE !!
    Buzzy little things but rotted like they`d spent a year in salt water ...
    The red coupe had to be scrapped when i did a handbrake turn at work and the rear wheel folded
    under . So much for pressed steel rear wishbones , a lucky escape as it`d sit at 90 on the motorway and did most of the time :D
