That looks absolutely lovely. I had the loan of one in this colour (Midnight Blue?) in the eighties and spent much of the week motoring round Aberdeenshire with the top down most days. It went well and sounded lovely. I’ve periodically toyed with the idea of getting one, but other impulse car buys have got in the way. One day though…

Not really sure how you are supposed to quote when a thread gets a new volume. But LunarOne posted this:https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
Is that one of the new retro style Blaupunkt stereos? Are they any good? I am wondering whether to blow £400 on a stereo in a car I rarely use.

First world problems etc.
My classics are lower end things...
Mk2 Escort in resplendent beige, still completely original including the 1100 crossflow engine in regular use just now! Pic yesterday at the beach
and my Peugeot 104S. Still tucked away for winter but will be taxed as soon as the worst of the salt is off the roads.

Only picked this up late last year, hasn't had much use yet, but when the weather improves it will be getting out more.
I can't take credit for the photograph though that was done by Tadgh Collins (tigger_collins on Instagram)
1988 735i with < 80k miles, Original Irish car, but spent a long time in Spain as well, so completely rust free underneath.

Nowt wrong with "lower end"! Saw a Marina the other day, raised a smile. Mk2 Escort in resplendent beige, still completely original including the 1100 crossflow engine in regular use just now! Pic yesterday at the beach

Haven't seen one of those Peugeots for decades. My sister owned one, with all my cars having been on the deck with rock hard suspension, first corner had me thinking I was going to roll it... After that, I just enjoyed the quality of the ride - better than most moderns I've been in since.

The best looking seven series ever? I certainly think so I can't take credit for the photograph though that was done by Tadgh Collins (tigger_collins on Instagram)
