I wasn't expecting to see a modified, but very modern Vauxhall at an event dedicated to all things VAG. However, I was quite taken by the paintjob as, unless I'm very much mistaken, it's Mirra which produces a fantastic irridescence like what you see here. You see back in the late Seventies and early Eighties (when I was just a lad) I produced several customised push bikes and two of them had Mirra flake paint applied over black ... happy days, of sorts!

I don't like to be too critical of someone else's car as it wouldn't do if we were all the same. However, I have to say for me personally this is a case where less would have been more!

Another 'nearly' entry for My Old Cars album, which I thought worthy of posting for posterity. Once again, I wonder where it is now?

Loved this red Lancia ... and it was for sale!

Not the greatest of shots, but I thought it worth posting as this is the only example I've seen of this car in recent years.

Toughest Mini Clubman I've seen!
