This just appeared at work today. Coolest work van ever. 1600 crossflow running about 140bhp apparently. 4 speed straight cut 'box. 'A bit lively in the wet' was the quote :-) AL

Spotted in Santa del Cruz, Tenerife. R5 with a boot..... never even knew they existed, and I’ve done plenty of driving around in France.....
Also an early Mini, a Citroen DS, mk 1 Nova SR, Fiat Strada Abarth, some nicer older Japanese stuff and the obligatory LR Santana’s in various states of disrepair.
Only have pics of The R5 as mostly I’m driving and senior management doesn’t believe in photographing old cars....
Edit: seems I’m not clever enough to add a pic from an iPhone.... sorry about that

Pug 205 auto Any better pics to see a bulging bonnet? As the auto models didn't have a flat bonnet like the manual models

This 1957 beauty didn't have to try to look as hard as ****, it was!! Old geezer driving it, I doubt that the 'look' was intentional.

So hard, it doesn't need a Reg plate.

Please don't throw litter, take it home.
