Combo C me beloved! For some reason I wasn't expecting a Holden version to exist
Does Ebony have the 1.3 Fiat or 1.7 Isuzu diesel engines?
Or did the Aussie market only offer them with petrol versions

A twin cam two door Holden VL Commodore!

He's just giving a raised eyebrow look 🤨

If I won the lottery, I'd be making my Ford Tempo race car have a transverse FWD 4.0L DOHC inline 8 cyl as the Ford T-Drive lords intended

A champagne gold 1988 Audi 100 Avant 2.0E i5 manual estate

The back of the 1988 Audi 100 Avant showing off the huge estate storage space and split rear window

Inside the cavernous rear of the Audi 100 estate, with the rear 60/40 split seats folded down giving a huge loading area. With a tow bar as well this would've made an excellent hauler of gubbins and transporter of terrible old cars I purchase

The commanding and plush cockpit of the Audi 100. I love the chunky 4 spoke wheel with the large Audi rings uninterrupted by the lines of an airbag. It had its original Blaupunkt 4 speaker auto-reverse cassette radio as well! This would have made such a good autobahn cruiser.

I very nearly bought one last year! I do regret not going for it

Love the C2 and C3 shape and a fuel injected 5 cyl estate car with a galvanised body sounded perfect

Unfortunately a hydraulic lifter seizing during the test drive was a bit of a put off...

Woahh a Victor estate with a Toyota diesel and 5 speed manual swapped in! That's a really rather cool car

I think it must've been! You can also see a huge hole in the passenger side of the dashboard where a secondary steering column would've mounted!

It's amazing British Leyland had access to this snow making technology to position the range of Triumph Dolomites against a background canvas of the Dolomite mountain range for the brochure images!

My tired old rusty blue 1976 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL on daily driver duties as usual

My boyfreind's new Volvo 340DL which refuses to stay working unless it involves driving to or from Salisbury, which it will do happily.

My lil red 1985 Honda City Jazz playing in the snow. Currently broken from a clogged fuel filter, he has been running on 10 year old petrol after all!

The poor baby 1988 Renault 5 which has been off the road now since 2023 (goodness gracious it's really been that long?) after I overheated him and blew his head gasket on the on the stretch of the M4 between Reading and Newbury with no exits for ages

The fleet of which only a third are functional

I love how the vast majority of the cars here are rear engined. A rare time when (I imagine) it was seen as unusual to have a car with the engine in the front!

Silvery-blue 1983 Honda Civic 5G

Car magazine back then were hard to impress when it came to Japanese cars! Glad to see they liked the MK2 Civic! Using them and other Hondas of this era they all feel so solid and such good cars!

Gosh looking at that interior hurts my brain, it looks like a Proton Saga inside.... but LHD! And in a glorious blue - I love blue interiors
I want it

1985 Honda City Jazz with a old curtain over the windscreen to make it easier to clear the windscreen on frosty mornings when running late for work

1985 Honda City Jazz and 1976 Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with old curtains over the windscreens to make it easier to clear on frosty mornings when running late for work!

I give him a lil blankie :3

Oh my god Honda City!!
I may be overly excited about this from recently buying one hehe

An early 1970s prototype for the first generation Vauxhall Cavalier - a car based on the Opel Ascona B but with a restyled front end. In this prototype form I believe it resembles a Ferrari 412, which is the joke of this post.

Ferrari 412 four door ;3

Not sure but isn't it an Amphicar? Lil guy with a Triumph "SC" OHV i4 from a Triumph Herald mounted in the back

Gosh there's yet another rebadge of this generation Opel Kadett! I thought I knew them all with all the Daewoo Racers and Pontiac LeMans and Daewoo Nexias and Chevrolet Monzas and of course the Vauxhall Astra

Passport I'd never heard of and I thought Asunas were for Isuzus!

Woah that's very bougie for a cheaper brand radio! I wonder what sort of 1990s executive car it would've been put in that would still be of the price range not for a fancier brand?
I'm imagining something like a Kia Clarus?

MM51 AKJ, an adorable friendly little Peugeot 106 1.1 Independence in a light silver-y blue, parked proudly upon the rocks in a shallow river somewhere in Wales

Fly high lil 106 ;-;
The lil nugget that could

🫡😢
RIP MM51 AKJ

A-Reg 1983 Ford Granada estate in silver-y gold, across the road from a MK3 Fiesta

‘What’s the last car you stopped to take a picture of?’

The flat continuous bonnet line across the top of the grille I really like in preference though. The bump for the grille on the facelift may be more unique but I enjoy the sleeker uninterrupted style the prefacelift like yours has. Also the bonnet bulge feels more powerful!

Intermittent wipers!

The rear transaxle and flexible torque tube setup of the tempest aren't even the coolest thing
For me, it's the two speed auto, which has it's torque converter mounted at the back that takes the cake.
Thanks to this it has essentially a torque converter lockup in 2nd gear!

Read this to the tune of Duran Duran's "Girls on film!"

1979 - 1980 Triumph Dolomite 1500SE special edition!

The body colour C pillar bearing no badge shows it is not a Dolomite
The long boot indicates it is not a Toledo
It can't be a Dolly 1300/1500 as those weren't introduced until '76
Going by what looks to be a curved dash, I believe this is a Triumph 1500 FWD - Although it could also be the RWD 'TC'!

Oh wow that's not just quite the road trip but quite the move! Wishing you the best for your new life in Denmark!!

Is this in the back window of a Triumph Dolomite?

The very high up heated rear window strips really remind me of the heated rear window in mine!

That connector it has on the back is interesting!

And goodness the 1900s toaster in the background looks perfectly terrifying :3

I love your lil Austin!! <3

It's such a delightfully thirties colour somehow hehe
And that's coming from a 70s/80s nut x3

Such a cool lil car though omg I wanna know more about it :3
