Good cars you don't see any more?

I'll start it off, How many Mitsubishi 380's have you seen in your travels today ?

Can we merge this with the Leyland thread?

That right there is a fair point!

How many 240Z's has anyone seen lately?

My first car was a Hillman Hunter and you don't see many of them around these days - shame eh!

Mine also. Grey one. Paid $400 from a workmate and sold it for $400 a year later. I liked the old vinyl smell when it got hot in the sun. It struggled to maintain 100 and was more happy doing 90 odd.

Nothing wrong with a 380, had an XR6 company vehicle, replaced with a 380 a little while back.

The Falcon was an exercise in patience, rattled and squeaked, the disc brakes were warped from new and there always seemed to be a draft coming from somewhere hinting at a bad assembly issue somewhere down the line. Went Ok though though, between the petrol pumps.

Don't have the 380 anymore but still remember how smooth and quiet it was, slightly ugly though.

When did you last see a 380 ? I've been looking for the last 3 weeks and I've seen 3.

I swapped a '76 CB750 for a Singer Vogue (Wood trim Hunter) in 1986...the Vague jumped out of 2 gears and pumped oil through the air filter, the Honda was in perfect condition with new tyres and a Walker 4 into 1 - I thought I did well out of the swap. Someone smacked into the Vague, the insurance company paid me $1,000, and I sold the car for $800...and bought a MkI Austin 1800 for $800 with a recon engine. Bikes weren't worth a lot back then.

No, we had one client that had a fleet of them, I'm not sure if they really were a step up from the Imps they had before them

My friend has one his granddad bought new.

It may have a supercharged Toyota 1.8 in it now though....just to make it bearable

Post Hunter I bought a mitzi mirage 1244cc with quick shifter gearbox. High low ratio in every gear more like an overdrive in each gear. Second low quick shifting into second high was like driving a rally car. That thing ran on the smell of an oily rag.

Mk2 Escort... kiwi made in Wiri.

First car I bought for myself ($200). Did many a covert trip from the back field of school to Georgie Pie at lunch time (even came back some times). 1 buck pies! Lent it to my flatmate who drove a 50km round journey with the handbrake on. Never ran the same after that.

Haven't seen one in the wild for ages.

LOL! The Imp was one of the most fun cars that I have ever owned...a go kart with a windscreen
