A white 1981 1.3 and then later a 70s poo brown 1750 TC, which my neighbour donated to me as a spares car after he saw how often my 1.3 was on axle stands. That one had the square wheel, but thankfully not the faux Rolls Royce grille The plan was to hoik the motor out of Sir P Brown and stick it into Mister White, but in the end they were so clapped out and rusty, I saw sense and scrapped em' both. The local scrapyard was delighted to receive 2 All Aggros....not! Driving around with collapsed hydrolastic suspension was also comical.....although to be fair, quite a sophisticated system for it's time! Shame as the 1750 wasn't a bad engine.....in the context of what I was working with They were the days.....zero money and a need to get from A to B! My Mum had a poo brown Marina 1.3 for 6 months, which was left by the side of the road for the police to deal with after going over a humped bridge and the sink in the boot we were taking to the tip fell through said floor My Granddad loved his Princesses. He had 2 of them. I remember him moaning about the Ambassador he replaced them with for not being as good. Low standards back then Last edited by TurboWeasel; 05-03-2024 at 09:37 AM.. |
