Like the horrid Alfa 4c it's too wide for its length and looks oddly proportioned. And WWD too as you mention

Re: Harry’s Garage
- very good.
Although the M100 really was a WWD lowpoint. 
Re: Harry’s Garage
It got really good reviews at the time though, didn't it? Someone activate The Ibbs.
Re: Harry’s Garage
Yes, my recollection is of broadly +ve reviews too. But i still never wanted one.

Isuzu doesn't scream glamour, does it.

Re: Harry’s Garage
And Rover k-series does?
Lotus have always been more about the drive and handling than the power plant.
Fwd elan was always highly praised in the press and i think they look great.
I'd just never have one because fwd should be left in hatchbacks, but the power plant wouldn't put me off.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Nor me, but I was more talking about the greater market for the car. I'd imagine the K-series is thought of more fondly as it's homegrown.

Re: Harry’s Garage
Any articles that say that? (The latter)
Ta.
It is a shame they're fwd, but I do think they're good looking
Re: Harry’s Garage
I actually think articles did say that at the time.
Re: Harry’s Garage
Ha. I thought that might provoke a response from someone. I really don't like it.

Re: Harry’s Garage
The SLR seems good value based on the estimate. Weren’t they £300k+ new?Coaster1 wrote: Fri Jul 26, 2019 6:28 am https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/eve ... ition-cars

ETA- particularly compared to the SLS.
Re: Harry’s Garage
Harry mentions the SLS has only 600miles on it. So its already a collectors piece. 
Re: Harry’s Garage
Enjoyed that, always liked the V6 Clio.
Did Matty have one for a while or am I making that up?

John from here had a ph2 in that colour I think, I'm sure he'll chime in at some point. Would like to hear how fondly remembered it is... Or isn'tZedLeg wrote: Fri Aug 02, 2019 7:25 pm Enjoyed that, always liked the V6 Clio.
