I didn't do any of that stuff to my car It was like that when I got it.

The only things that happened when I had it were a blown head gasket which I sorted, replacement of some rather knackered glow plugs as well as doing the timing belt and water pump. Oh and I replaced a spring which broke while the thing was standing for about 6 months.

I should have seen that the thing was a bucket of crap from a mile away......
Oh and 500Maxi would sound silly

For those who don't know what a 306maxi is......

Basically a rallying 306 with the engine that the 406 BTCC car used to use.

I assume you mean the Austin one... coz thats what I thought the Maxi in 306maxi stood for!

Funnily enough, this is the same stonking orange colour as my Allegro... also the same chrome hubcaps. Probably where my love of the chrome laden 500 Lounge comes from! I lost one of the hubcaps once, and was lucky enough to find another in a stream whilst walking the dogs one day. By 'eck they don't write anecdotes like that anymore!

It also had this useful feature where you could tip all the seats down to turn it into one large bed! Why has this feature died out?????
