Anyone got any good picks of the huge 3 litre beastie with the cheese grater grill? There's a nice J plater in my road and my mind keeps going "hmm"

Isn't it more 'chip cutter' than 'cheese grater'?  |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |

Hmmmmmmm..... not entirely convinced by these (yet!). Great wallowy barges and all that but they don't float my boat for some reason (which is odd seeing as pretty much everything floats my boat!  ). Always thought that six pot engine would be good for summat... there was one of those lumps on eBay a while back for 50p, buy it now!  It never sold - seemed a good un, and I would have had it myself but then that'd start a chain reaction of needing some sort of classic to go around it, and then me sleeping in my car for the forseeable future... you know... |

What a coincidence! I saw one of these last night and really liked it, haden't seen one for a long time, was only a 2.5 but looked mean! I reckon they can be picked up for pennies. Hmm... |

A guy I used to work with bought one of these for £350 with 12months ticket on it etc, it was the 3000 24v top of the range jobbie. SERIOUSLY fast & smooth, but returned a minimum of 30mpg griven in town!
And they are hilarious for ar$e-out, tail happy, roundabout slides a-go-go... such fun!!!
An under-rated motor, and no mistake.

GREAT cars. lovely to drive, and amazingly economical. But beware - they will rust like an absolute f*cker given half a chance. Man do they rot.

The one I saw had no rear wheel arches left, most of the rear 1/4 panel had gone with it too!
