Was this a Sisley? I had two so where was the inclinometer on top of the cash and the factory fit roof rack?

1997 scoda felicia Mpi Lx my first car and my lovely car, miss her 😢😢

The seats are worth much more, than all of the shit together...

This was won on a restroshite auction, clearly the winner didnt gel with it

Nice! Looks like a good example. And it has aircon! Hope it's going well for you.

I want to share an idea with you. Would you like to convert the WARTBURG engine to an injector? (yes, this can be done)

Nice. I drive a Daihatsu Copen 1.3, and a Piaggio Porter diesel truck, (Hijet)a

oooh miss hubnut will love that!

I actually worked for a Daihatsu dealer in the late 90's so have driven plenty of these along with other Daihatsu's of that era. So I can say with absolute confidence that there is definitely something amiss if it feels REALLY slow. The brochure at the time stated 42bhp (obviously not very much), but it only weighs around 640kg. Motorway travel is of course not it's forte (though it will actually do about 84mph flat out), but it should feel plenty nippy enough around town and on narrow country roads. You mentioned it feeling slow next to a 126. Well that has a kerb weight of around 600kg if air-cooled, a little more if a later water-cooled version (bis) and will have around 26bhp at most. So the Cuore has a power to weight ratio roughly 50% more than the 126. Couple of other points. Re the Mira, for 1990 onwards, kei cars were 660cc (and 64bhp) max. Re the wheelbase, it isn't actually that short for such a small car thanks to the kei car norm of pushing the wheels right out to the extremities to maximise interior space. For comparison, the Fiat Seicento is 25mm longer overall but its wheelbase is 100mm less (it also weighs about 100kg more) The Cuore is a fantastic little car, but for quirkiness the Daihatsu Move of the same era has it beaten hands down (just the thing if you feel the need to wear a top hat while driving)

👌✌️👍

Cute little car. Originally registered in Shropshire. Any idea of the supplying dealership ?

I love the whole Kei car scene, the Japanese are amazing when it comes to packing a lot into a small box.

Congratulations! Let me know if you might like to feature in my owner stories series 👍😎 This is where things properly started for me (as an 8 year old in my parents UR quattro 😆)

Hello guys , We had a Perodua dealer in our town and I still see some Kelisa's around regularly and sometimes for sales like on FB marketplace very cheap .

Very rare. There used to be loads of these Mira on Australian roads.

What sort of money would you be looking at ?

It smell a rat😂 interior

A Wartburg on a “P” plate must be one of the very last ones registered in the U.K.! Well done for saving it!

I've always wanted a Cinquecento but I am far too fat for either the cinq or sei 😂

Ive just scrolled through the channel im pretty sure we havd the exact same taste, oddballs and unloveables. Gah i would kill for half the cars in these videos 😭

I remember driving near mablethorpe and spotting one years ago, i wanted to stop and leave a note but never found it again 😭

Can there be many UK Wartburgs that you haven’t owned? You must know them all by now!!

Always rather !liked these cars, especially the estate.

I’ve got 2 seicento abarths a broom yellow and a pre face lift one in the gray with the orange tirm peaces there such a grate motor Ed is the man for parts in south wales always down to help 😎

Good to hear your voice again. ❤

The drums breaks were not-very good even on my dads new 1975 orange Wartburg you at to stand on the peddle he got the orange one so you could been seen on the road

Another Wartburg, even if you've had it before?! I can't say I blame you - there's just something about these old DDR cars.

It will be great to see that restored to original condition. I like the orange, very 1976. Skoda did the S100/110 in a very similar colour.

I have an original Citroen AX GTI, with the 1.4 multipoint injection motor. The engine have 95hp on 800kg... with´in 9sec i drive 62mph. It´s a light weight car and so much fun to drive.

I’m glad to see one saved. I had a yellow S reg Seicento sporting about 20 years ago and really enjoyed it

The aluminium gear lever surround and handbrake cover were only on the Michael Schumacher edition. They may have been options in the accessory brochure for other models, however didn't come as standard.

I used to own a 1.1 2004 Seicento, it was amazing, always started, it was fun to drive, low fuel consumption and the cost of the parts for this car are next to nothing

Fun little car. I have 1.1 2002.

Cute car, and worth saving. Please do the wing dent - it's like a big zit on a baby's face !

Did you check the head to make sure it's not warped?

That front wing is screaming for that dent to be pulled.

Nice car, but the EU Rallye is bonkers, except the German version that was a very down tuned 1.9.

Что у неё с рулём-это брак!!!😅

Thank you for saving it! 😍 Interior looks really good!

You failed to state how much the SAAB is up for sale for, checked all your Insta and FB and can't find any mention.

had a v6 saab 9-3,took it in for a possible part ex for a bmw 335i,he test drived my saab while i was in the passenger seat and basically thrashed it, i went home in the saab and didnt think to part it again.jeremy clarkson video will explain why saabs are so good,and why

So glad that another has been saved. Saab was another victim of large manufacturers not understanding the nature of the company that they bought, then walking away when they broke it. I still hope tha this , and other great companies, may build cars again. Sadly I think that it is unlikely.

All remaining Saabs need to be saved now. These legendary models are only going to get rarer sadly.

Those IFA cars! Now that's my kind of classic car gathering - especially that Trabant 1.1 saloon as I'd really like one of those one day!

Makes you wonder what would've happened had Yugoslavia not collapsed into civil war - would the Florida/Sana have improved the reputation of Zastava and gained them a larger market share in the UK if they had managed to get the quality sorted? Weirdly, I have had a longtime fascination for the Yugo in the shape of the 45/55/65 as I remember those pottering about when I was a child.

Oh, that Maestro - now that brings back a few memories of being given a lift in a 2.0D version. Refined, it was not! Still, it certainly had character - and it's a great thing to see to see one of Austin-Rover's finest in regular use! I hope that Wartburg gets running again - there's just something about old East German cars, and it is nice to see how enthusiastic your friend is about it!

Seeing the Wartburg powering along deserted roads reminds me of an ill-fated trip to Fort William over ten years back to collect a rather shabby Trabant. My father and I went out there, and I had my first-ever experience of driving a left-hand drive car for the eighty-odd miles back to my home town. Surprised a busload of Germans in the middle of nowhere - they were all pointing and waving as a piece of their past rattled by! The thing then proceeded to fall to bits when we got it home... Can't win 'em all!

What a super old thing - had I been alive and of age to drive in the 1970's I do believe I would have had a real hankering for a Wartburg Knight. That two-stroke engine note is addictive, not as raucous as a Trabi's (maybe due to being water-cooled, I dunno - I've had a Trabant in the past) and I like the Wartburg a lot! I wonder how many of those were sold new in the UK? On to Part Two!

I genuinely hope to see this car running and driving before too much longer as I have a large soft spot for it after its time on my channel, best of luck! Hope to catch you at a future event!

Wrong wheels 3rfor that year of MG metro. Those wheels are off of an MG Metro Turbo model,, and the side decals are from a pre 1985 MG Metro.. Are you sure it's a genuine MG metro? Check the Engine and chassis number both match.
