Introduction

Lovely pic m8

And it just goes to show you how big cars are today

Put a mini against a new mini and its tiny, or see one driving next to other cars it looks like a dodgem

The new focus has the same footprint as the original mondeo

Is it any wonder there is no space on the roads
 
I took these when we had some sun.

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember the Wheeler Dealer 500 was LHD. Definitely looks very similar.

I tried to convince the missus to buy a new 500 when she changed her car last year, so we'd have an old one plus a new one, but she bought a Yaris instead :(

Can't knock that, at least it was a Yaris and not something French (y)
 
Hi,

No, its not the wheeler dealer car. MittGibson is correct, the wheeler dealer car was LHD.
The Italian stripe does make it look almost identical but inside its very different.
 
love the pics of old and new
Dad has a red 1968 500 and is now looking for a red 2008 500 - 40yr difference
