Has anyone ever seen a SAAB 90 and realised they had seen one?

Yes they were a thing for a very short time.

I wonder if Jeff Bezos will snap it up for his fleet.

I like the Volvo Amazon, this one was a very nice one spotted on a lovely day in May 2018.
NewcastleFalcon wrote: 15 May 2018, 23:39 So first off today on our trip out I spotted a beautiful Volvo Amazon with German plate, in the car park of a pub. Pulled in, got out and asked if it was OK to take a photo. Then proceeded to have a very pleasant chat about the Amazon and his trip over here with three other friends who all had Porsches.

Gave him my fascinating facts about Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary in 1965 being the first to use Amazon's as Police cars in the UK.

All very pleasant and had to apologise to his companions because I was far more interested in the Amazon than the Porsches!

So here it is

This could be a real value workhorse with ultra low mileage and decent pedigree:

I looked into buying one but they were all around 3L and very expensive.

Just had a check on the Subaru's Reg number. It has only had 2 MOT fails, the first for emissions - passed on retest, and the second for headlight beam out of adjustment. The mileage checks out with 7000 being done before the first MOT and the rest over the years. It has the same 2.5l engine as my car which is returning 39.5 mpg which I consider very good for a car of its size. I think it will be a decent buy for the lucky bidder!! :)

Unusual reg, and with a bit of maths it is a V12! (2 X 7) - 2 = 12!

Could be a W16. (2 X 7) + 2 = 16

Two Fords coming up at Anglia Car Auctions from either end of the Ford range in the mid 60's. Which one would you pick? :-D

Unsurprisingly I prefer the Cortina. But another Ford on the list takes me back to our first ever family car's finest feature.
