Rare car. I was never a 'need to own' one type of guy, was more into fiestas etc.

But it's old, was of my era, love it.

Funny thing is. That's a 93/94.

Older than some of the new members and probably more mature than some of the older members (I will include myself in the latter)

I wasn't born mate. Feel old now? :smile: My spitfire is 21 years older than me. Literally double my age.

I search monthly for a ph1. I want a red one: I'd settle for a blue chamade though

I had a white ph2 chamade, a blue 3 door ph2, and when I met my Mrs she had a blue Ph1 5 door.
I think we covered all R19 bases??

They all broke down though. Lots.

And the bonnet vents leaking water on to the plugs, and the alternators frying, and the sunroof's leaking....
they were a properly shoddy car.
But f**k me were/are they cool!!

Oh that 19 is very nice. When I stated work one of the maintenance guys bought one brand new just like that. He only sold it a few years back now, how I wish I'd contacted him about it.
