You know when you start a thing and it takes way longer than you expected... yeah, that. So, to try and clarify what is/isn't a Chesney I drew up this handy list.
A Chesney is a car of which there are no other examples on the forum. It is also a car that is often rare in its own right (though not always). You might own a Chesney, but someone else would disagree.
Chesneys
They are the one and only! (as far as we know)
My Princess
@joe76 Volvo C202
bigalan Toyota Townace
@quirky-Classics Moskvich 408
Seth Borgward
@roccoguy Renault 11 Turbo
@'state Mk1 Astra estate
WheelsonCanvas Oldsmobile Cutlass
@willcarter Vauxhall Viceroy. Nearest to this is the black or gold Vauxhall Royale I seem to recall.
chrisdcapri Ford F1
joostvdw Subaru XT Turbo
@mrs Chevy Blazer
stealthstylz & Crew Oldsmobile Ninety Eight
Mystery Machine Daimler, Dodge Ramminimacrobus,
@sparksecm Mk2 Cortina Estate
cairyhunt Desoto
stevek Toyota KE70 coupe
lukas Mitsubishi Pajero, Subaru Leone Turismo
morrisoxide Mercury Montclair
79cord Honda Z360 Hardtop
PhilA Renault GTA. I don't think there's another one of these on RR and I'm 99.9% sure there isn't another US based one.
trigger Triumph Acclaim.
luckyseven Holden FD. I think, at any rate.
@violetvivid I agree with PHUQ and I reckon think she gets to be a Chesney herself, regardless of vehicle![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
Probably Chesneys
I think there might be others of these, but they otherwise fit the bill.
ToolsnTrack Camaro
daveywoo34 Datsun Laurel
@oldspice Fox Mustang (I think we have a red one on here somewhere)
hamps Escort pick-up. It's probably the only Escort pick-up but it's not the only Escort. If it started out as an Escort estate, it's definitely not a Chesney.
@granadaman72 Ford Granada estate. We have saloons, but it might be the only estate.
BenzBoy Nissan Patrol. Yes, there's Datman's Rangetrol but that's a Chesney in and of itself because of what it is... tricky one this one.
Mystery Machine Lotus Elite (I'm note sure the spares car counts in this instance). Series 1 Landrover, because it's actually a Rover underneath it all... same situation as Datman's Rangetrol here.
morrisoxide Morris Oxford Estate. Tricky one again, it could be a Chesney down to it's rarity outside of RR, let alone that it's owned by an RR regular.
79cord Honda Integra. Maybe... I think this is another debatable one because I'm sure there are other Integras but this is a bit of a rarity in and of itself.
brock05 Volvo 142. Another debatable one. We may well have other 140 series Volvos, but I doubt we have another 142, but if I said this were a Chesney then some I've said aren't would have to be let in too. Tricky, again.
trigger Honda Civic. Debatable, there's more Civics on the forum but where to draw the line? It's clearly a Chesney candidate, but does it fully qualify under the rules I'm apparently making up as I go along?
Not-Chesneys
ToolsnTrack Toyota MR2 (there's others, you see)
del and @granadaman72 Ford Granadas. They're the same car, basically, and rule each other out as Chesneys.
welshpug Citroen ZX. There is one other, but I can't remember his username. It's a metallic green one.
orion1600e Ford Orion. I'm pretty sure we have a white one on here, again, can't remember the username.
Mystery Machine Escort estate.
PHUQ Morris Marina estate. There's more than one. I nearly made this a Probably Chesney, I'm sure it's a debatable one.
@davenger Lada Niva. Unless I'm confusing forums, there is a white one here.
PandaSelecta Fiat Panda (there's that really low one). Lada 1200 (EU RR member has one, I believe)
minidan Mini. There's lots of Minis on RR, a special edition does not a Chesney make.
lukas Toyota Camry V2. Pretty sure there's a red one... I really should find links to back this up shouldn't I?
tenman Lexus IS200. Yeah... no.
slot bogroll exhaust. That's unique, but it's not a Chesney![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
@violetvivid Landrover. Sorry, lots of landrovers of all shapes and sizes.
