If you're referring to the one's I just posted,
they're Ford Popular 100e's made and sold in the UK in the 50's & 60's.

Ahh fair enough, cars are subjective,
one man's classic is another man's sh*t heap.

My mates Mk1 Golf G60 Cab

 

[BoatNonce]

Alpine A110 goodness.

Yes! But is it modified?

 

[Mork of Ork]

That wasn't an insult, Max Power in it's earlier days was actually about cars with decent engine mods that were lowered with alloys and a respray for the most part. It didn't get more about lairy bodykits on 1.1 Saxos until the early 00's.

As it was the early 90's people tended to modify cars from the 80's such as the mk1/2 Astra, mk3/4 Escort, Nova etc.
