lol , the car was very much tongue in cheek ,
a bit of a mickey take of all the boy racers with its rs1600 i bonnet stripes and door stack stickers ,
but it was fun and certainly caused a lot of comment some good some not so good.
unfortunately the person who bought it had some problems including something to do with the exhaust , then it was vandalised so they sold it on and the person who bought it from her was full of good intentions but then scrapped it I believe.

There's a show on in Cologne at the moment, where they wreck an Opel Kadett on stage to the sound of music. Every evening, a "fresh" car gets smashed up over the course of the show.

It's a great success, but I'm afraid I don't get it. That kind of stuff just makes me feel sick, and I don't care whether the car was given a one day reprieve from the crusher or not ...

I'm amazed there are any '70's BL cars left, the rate at which Top Gear keep wrecking 'em
