I’m very jealous. Love Bristols, the cars may not be the greatest but the mystique of the company and passion of the owners is an intoxicating mix. I would certainly have a couple in my dream garage. Along side a couple of Tatras, Skoda 130RS, Morgan, De Tomasos and other left field choices.
Liam Gallagher, of Oasis fame, is an owner and apparently quite passionate about them
I’ll take both the 850 Spyder & Coupe and the Skoda 130, the rest of you can fight over the lesser machinery.
From memory the Xsara wasn’t held in such high regard as a car that handled well, I never drove one so cannot comment from experience. I did a have a ‘99 306 D-Turbo from new which was superb to drive. Basically the same vehicle as the GTI-6 but with a common rail turbo’d diesel engine. It wasn’t neck breaking from…

It’s the worst of their worst faked bits

Not really a Lotus just one that GM, Lotus owners at the time, asked them to tweak. I doubt it was a financially successful model for GM but will have helped improve the perception of GM’s European brands.
Big difference between Land Rover reliability and Range Rover/Discovery reliability. I’m betting a very large percentage of the 70% still on the road are Land Rovers.
Lovely two tone brown Dodge Omni. My very first car was a Talbot Horizon, Chrylser Europe’s version, it too was two tone brown but mine was mixture of brown paint and rust.
I thought part of the plan was to introduce larger diameter rims with lower profile tires to mimic road cars?
Or this years Indycars
Loving the cutaway T3 Squareback!
Thing is the new plant would cost significantly less than building a conventional plant. The supply chain is designed so that the parts can be made locally and not require shipping thousands of miles.
