Love that a lot. Looks great with the martini livery.

[Riley Blue]

I was a bit too late for fuel.

Stretching it a bit but any excuse.

The first thing the proprietor of Dulnain Bridge garage would do if required to work on an Integrale is try and get in to the drivers seat from the wrong side .

Car 1990s
Garage 1960s

1991


Eight years later and I’d stretched to a whole extra .2 of a litre

[Rob Dicky]

That quattro looks so good.....

[Yertis]

It was an 84 in Amazon Blue with the awful brown interior of that era. 84s are a bit odd with the flat front and coloured tail lights of the early cars, and the digi-dash, abs, and wide wheels of the later cars. As you can see I’d added the later front and rear lights at this point. The engine was shagged though and it needed a new cylinder head which I bought but never fitted - it’s still under my desk

I used to drive past that garage with my parents when I was a kid in the 70's.

[Old Merc]

I was the service manager in the 70`s.

Unfortunately, a 2-stroke pump!

That brings back memory's as my first car at age 17 (1982) was a 1973 Cortina GXL 2.0L in dark green with black vinyl roof !
