"Good" to see John has managed to squeeze his 9 year old daily driver in again. Also a bangernomics Peugeot 206.
Definite thumbs up with the Range Rover featuring in grand designs (I may be biased).
Also, I would like to see Danny working as a cabby in his Bluebird. One of those cars that seems to have all but vanished from the roads after there being thousands of them not all that many years ago. All incarnations of the cavalier and sierra seem to have gone this way too.
Sam needs to be banned from buying reliable cars on his foreign trips as him making it back without breakdowns is very boring and suggests his taste in "bad" cars is improving I can't wait to read about the AWS shopper, it looks like it was made from flat pack shelving. Any car I have never seen before needs an article written about it!

Just working my way through the February edition as I had a huge pile to come home to and I'm not doing them in datal order but there's no dodging that Bluebird as the current owner is selling it on eBay. Ah yes, here he is: Click it.

1989, would that be a Japanese one or a Washington one? Definitely a significant part of UK manufacturing history if it was the latter.

According to the ebay auction, it has only covered 184 miles. That is an average of 7.36 miles per year. It can't have gone further than a return trip to the MOT station every month (or the owner drove it home from everywhere in reverse). It has Blue Doors and it's colour is "19890303". There is the distinct possibility that the seller doesn't know how to fill out the auction form.

That's a British built one, easiest way to tell is the front bumper and the indicators, small ones as per the auction = Washington, larger, wrap around indicators = Jap built.

Excellent! I love how the answer is never more than a few posts away on this forum. Cheers for that.
