saw that earler. It's a proper early model with wraparound bumpers, early round lamp grille and early dash. Late model kicked in in '79.

Looks like a proper shitter alright. I'd like the bumpers off it though ;)

I was drooling over that most of yesterday, I even considered buying it straight away after the add was up for 5mins and would have done if it were not for my back.

been driving mine the last couple of days, haven't gone near it in months. It's great fun to drive. Small and nippy. Like Jennifer Aniston...

Trev ya want to watch postin a picture like that doen't get ya banned!!!!!!!!

Have you seen pjs sig?!!?

Took me a while to get the derby thing. When i was growing up, in my home town, anyone who drove a derby was
a) retired
b) a farmer
c) both
They were possibly the slowest, meanest and dullest car around at the time. Skinny wheels & tyres, shitty dull colours, basic poverty interior. Wheezy little engines with 4speed box. Nothing cheerful about the car or their owners at all. Dull & mean.
After seeing Trevs ratty one with updated mechanicals from a recent polo, I realised they're not a bad looking car at all, and they make a great q-car too. So i get it now!
Anyone do a job on a 3door polo squareback/breadvan now for me? hated them too!
