Talking of Vauxhall Carlton, theres a Lotus Carlton round here that I see very rarely. Hadn't seen one before and first time I saw it just assumed some dick had stuck had stuck a Lotus badge on an old Vauxhall!

Spotted not one but two mk4 scrotes today at Morrisons in Morley, rare versions too a van and a combi estate (excuse the rubbish pic)
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - procta - 09-01-2015
Another one the mk3 astra, those have disappeared now from the roads, those were a common sight here.
I am not surprised with rovers. as most were binned before their time. plus i don't think the rover community is all that strong to save them, compared to the mg counter part.

A few typical Cairo cars, wish I'd taken more photos in hindsight!:
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - procta - 12-01-2015
when I dropped the metro off to be welded, there was a Saab 900, that had been used as a donor car, it had the front inner wings chopped off, The lad who is doing mine, said he cannot get panels for saabs anymore. So sadly a donor had to be used.
This one was on a H plate, I recon that's another car that will die off too, I know they did hold the value really well, but un sure now.
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - Jimmy306uk - 14-01-2015
Lovely metro turbo on eBay
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - procta - 15-01-2015
just come back from getting the cat some grub, and a Mk2 fiesta in beige past me, on a E plate I think it was. Looked the part mind!
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - Jimmy306uk - 18-01-2015

I think I just say remember seeing one of those on the road, when I was a kid, like the Talbot sun beams.

sierras are a rare sight anyway fella, just the mk3 and maybe the mk4 fiestas, the escorts are just say hanging on for bets.
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - 7057sam - 26-01-2015
Sierra looks lovely mate
And them wheels are worth a fair bit aswell
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - procta - 26-01-2015
if any car that is over 15 years old now, I would say is a keeper, and really worth saving.
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - procta - 26-01-2015
to night I picked the metro up from the body shop and this was in the car park!

RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - PUGNUT_XS - 28-01-2015
Saw a Renault 21 Turbo a while ago.
Renault 19 16v's seemed to have vanishied, probably due to head gasket failure lol.
Lada- not a bad thing though.
Datsun Cherry - Now i am showing my age.
My neibour owns a mint cavalier GSI 2000
Does anybody remeber the calibra body kit on the old cavaliers
Talking of calibras, they have vanished too.

I think most of the calibras lost their engines do the nova/ corsa and astra boys back in the day. So I think most of those were binned off early sadly.
Been well over 20 years since I saw a Datsun cherry, well anything with the name Datsun, its all Nissan now.
Lada again most of those were either sent back or binned, I tell you I bet it would be fun trying to keep one of those on the road now.
All the Renaults of the 19 era I think are history now.
RE: Rare cars you dont see anymore, - PUGNUT_XS - 29-01-2015
Renault 5 Gordini Turbo, When i was an apprentice one of the guys at the garage had one as a project and it was a utter s**t to work on.
