Watsons Yellow 1100 in Practical Classics?
Looks like Watsons fab bright yellow '79 Golf in this months Practical Classics article about non-hot hatch versions of 70s/80s hatch backs. Very nice.
The Renault 5 in the article is very similar to my first ever car (mine was a 10 year old P-Reg not N) but it was bright yellow like the Golf. I also had a red 205. Spooky.
How scary is this, cars that I grew up with are now classics 8O

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Mine had floor change and rolled that much that it felt like it might end up on two wheels or its roof. Cost £50 and had Fred Flintsone floors.

Keep your eyes peeled for the 'Buyers Guide' in Classic Car Weekly, should be next week or the week after.
The 2 page spread is all about the running, parts, insurance etc aspects of the cars.

Thats the first thing I remembered when I looked at the pic after all these years( near Warwick Castle 1986 ) The bloody sap or is it aphid poo ? all over the car, took some right getting off.
And we didnt have jet washes in them days, just a bag of dust and a rolled up newspaper… :wink:
Happy days.

Congratulations Dave, i did spot it when i was at tesco.
For a moment i thought you must have sold the car.
Good to see a familiar car in the magazine.
