Glad to hear the 75's working out OK for you and the family -

Your 75's a car without any of the usual old English quality flaws.

I'd stick with that and look for a project :thumbs:

I'm still in the UK and I must say that it is just so nice to see roads not full of cheap Jappa clones.

AND cars are just soooooo cheap out here.

Be a dear and bring me back a diesel 75 estate please

Looking at selling the 75 (which is going ok, just got it's WOF, still need to do the belts) and replacing it with a diesel or some sort. Just makes more sense for around town here.

Morris 1100 - as mint as they come (but I doubt it's worth 15K).

If you're on a bit of a budget go Pug 306/406 1.9 TDi. Best value of the diesels in the lower end of the price range. Just make sure it is fitted with a Bosch injector pump and not the shitheap Lucas unit and it'll serve you well. Very, very cheap to run.

I sold the Ovlov.
I purchased another boring car, that I got for a nice price and will flick it off soonish I think (once I do a cambelt etc on it)
Must work my way up to moar toyz

Yep seen that one, was $16k to begin with. It's tidy as fuck, but it's not even worth $10k let alone $15k.

Yea one of our mates has a 406 Pug in diesel, quite a solid car. I'll keep my eyes open for one down here, how do the petrol ones go?

Still praying for a 75 diesel to pop up for sale lol.

As for you, get a Morris minor and toss a V6 in it....

Petrol ones are meh, might as well buy a Jap car that does the same job and is built better. I have a '99 626 that's a better car than a petrol 406, more economical, go just as slow/boring/etc and far better built. (does 7l/100km avg. with my beige driving)

Nah, V8 Morrie is what I want

If I flog the Mazda I'll consider going Brit and/or classic again, but BMWs keep making me happy at te moment, got one in the workshop I rather like
