My local area is littered with 75s and ZTs - they're everywhere.
I've even got some of them to wave back...

This is my retro
The photo doesn't show the lacquer peel, nor the piece of biscuit tin screwed over a hole in the front left wing. Currently it is off the road because it failed the MOT on emissions. One of the carbs has been rebuilt but it seems that the problem might have been with the other one... At least it didn't fail on anything else. |

Really my old man had two well a Marina and an Ital and they were horrible. I know they have their fans as every car has but under rated?.
Both of dads car were relatively new when he bought them but after a year or so of ownership I remember him working on them weekends to get to work on a Monday and boy did they rust Still I fully understand everyone likes different things and its only my opinion Back to the thread I have noticed a lot more people spending time and money on these cars now. To be honest it seems they are owned more and more by enthusiasts which is good news

I learned to drive in a Sierra very similar to that... that and an AX diesel! I don't know how many images you can put into a post before people get upset but I think I might be on the way to it!

There's a Rover P6 down my road. I swear it is a scale model compared with the one's I remember from days of yore.

Oh happy days. I had two of these back in the day. One pre facelift in Silver then a facelift blue one. Loved these cars. Good luck with the restoration
