That poor poor Cortina

Nasher · 1 Jun 2021 at 10:46

Cortina from the hood.

Akagi · 1 Jun 2021 at 10:50

Hideous.

Put it on some 15's with chunky tyres instead of the donk wheels and it will be cool. :cool:

No picture but spotted a 300SL Gullwing just outside Letchworth last week :eek:

Sweet landy.

Greebo · 2 Jun 2021 at 13:46

Never understood the love for old landrovers tbh. Yes, they are a great worktool as was useful on the farm but would never have one, like some people do, as my daily driver.

That goes without saying! The new ones are pig ugly and now with so many creature comforts and costs so much, will probably never get used for the things the old one did.

i think the new ones look cheap, wont last half as long as these bad boys.
the unemployable wife of the rich ruined them.

Which was mad as they already offer several "luxury" models for them. Should have kept the defender as a proper workhorse.

The old one had 14 body styles starting from £23k and the new one starts at £42k. You have the discovery sport at £31k, the velar at £45k and the discovery at £51k for people who want a "posh" landrover.

I like the new ones, nice mix of luxury and practical.

If the older ones were a bit more comfortable/friendly as a family wagon, would be great.

Classic LRs are a lot of fun to drive, but you need to want to drive them. They aren’t much fun if you need to drive one say to the shops.

The places which used to use the old ones properly seem to be buying Japanese 4x4s instead now.

Sure they all came out of the factory looking like that, never seen one new lol

Nasher · 2 Jun 2021 at 18:19

Probably close. I don't think they ever had completely flat panels and they look like they were painted using a roller and brush

An abandoned generic 3 Series estate on steelies?

WOW!!!!!!!

Akagi · 6 Jun 2021 at 14:09

Looks good on steelies tbh.
Winter wheels I assume.
Epic daily encounter...

Nasher · 6 Jun 2021 at 17:14

Winter tyres I guess. A lot of people use steels.

Dirt cheap, don't have to worry about curbing, repaint yourself with a rattle can
