Old bangers

My first classic car was a 1956 Vauxhall Velox. They made 220,000 of that model and there are about 100 left. Rust, rust, rust.

Interestingly, there appear to be several thousand more Morris Minors than Ford Orions still bimbling about. I've always liked them, so I can't begrudge them their apparent evolutionary advantage

Morris Minors were one of the most fun cars to drive. Even recommended by Tiff Needell, someone who definitely can drive:

Only 8 of my car left running....

..though it is actually a top spec People Carrier and not a Supercar

Not a petrolhead anymore but this is brill!

Scary, looked up my car and only 55 were sold the year we bought it

I learned to drive in a Morris Minor in Barcelona

Excellent find!

How Many Left?

Someone's just got an MG Metro Turbo back on the road. Wonder if it's got the red seatbelts.

Great find!

Fifteen years ago every other car on the road seemed to be a Rover (like mine at the time); but now one sees hardly any.

I've just had some week old sausages. Does that count?

That's quite worrying: it seems there are between 0 and 301 of my Ford Orion still around

0 is clearly incorrect given that I drove home in one today, but it's hard to tell which is my car from a list that (when narrowed down to "Ford Orion Ghia") includes "Orion Ghia" twice (41, 6), "Orion Ghia I" four times (173, 301, 3, 96), and "Orion Ghia 5SPD" twice (79, 46), as mine fits all those descriptions.

Nonetheless, it seems to explain why we don't see many other Orions as we zoom about these days

Disappointed . Thought this was a GILF thread.
