I drive a Tesla and absolutely love it smooth ride and great tech. Also it is such a fooly dream but one time I drived at limo hummer richmond. Geez what a massive car it was and I decided that I want one. Not a limo but hummer for sure.

This is sat in my garage and has been for about 16 years now. Time and money, always time and money...

I have just bought this after my Focus Estate decided to pack its injectors in and DPF.

One owner who unfortunately passed away, 60,000 miles, packed with history unlike America 🤣

I was looking for a four seat convertible and saw this had a full fabric sunroof, SOLD!🤣

[PeteRS8084]

Lovely, my grandad had one and I always thought it looked to good

My mates dad owned an orange 2.5PI back in the 70’s, you could fit 6 kids in the back before the seat belt law spoiled the fun 😁

[accord83]

As I'm getting (got) old, I decided to sell the Triumph and buy a sensible family hatchback.  This arrived 3 weeks ago.

Nice, always liked the look of the 309. Our "other cars" are a couple of 306s, a 406, ZX & Xantia. Enjoy them all but really wouldn't mind a 505 estate at some point... Errrm, and maybe a wedge princess or ambassador... guilty pleasure? lol

The 309 is a Marmite car, some like it, some think it's fugly, I found they handled better than it's cute little 205 sister, which was a bit nose heavy. If 309's were good enough for Richard Burns, Colin McCrae, and Louise Aitkin Walker, who am I to argue! (and find another red 3dr)

Some years ago I missed out on a Dangel 505 4x4 estate, one of life's regrets. What a retro service barge it would have made. The wedge shouldn't have been made, should have gone straight to Ambassador, hatchback, and no big C pillars so better all round vision. Oh, and they should have been built instead of chucked together🤣

Definitely agree on BL build quality, the customers were their unwitting QC department when they were new! Makes it all the more fun to fix up & make them better than they came new though. Almost kinda-sorta acceptable from BL but what gets me is how bad Jaguar were for being a premium car... Reminds me, wouldn't mind an XJ-S either but then again I've already got the luxury, comfort & the sound with the Granny Scorpio, just feels way more solid and the electrics work!

 

The 4 by 505 would've been amazing as a parts hauler/project recovery rig, shame. Hopefully still out there putting the work in though. I always liked the look of the 309 retrospectively, my dad had a "silver bronze" 1.6 GR and I hated that thing as a youngster (mainly because it replaced a mistral blue Sierra 1.8 that I loved, so clouded my teen judgement lol)

[Cuili1]

I have a love for modern classics as well as old.

2x Subaru Impreza 2 door TypeR's

Escort Cosworth.

And my daily is a Range Rover Sport SVR... Yes I know, bring on the haters lol.
