How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
I had a Fiesta in the same beige as that Escort. I loved the 80s .

That escort in that colour looks like it’d be perfect at that underwhelming car festival they have in the UK. Wonderfully mundane.

Mine was definitely the darker beige of the Escort. Of course it could have been a shit respray as that would have matched the rest of the experience.that's the darker beige, not to be confused with beige beige

Depending on what's wrong with it they're not that expensive to repair for what they are. Finding people with the skills for some jobs is the problem.These must be so expensive to do up it can't be worth it
My mate with the Bristol had this problem, now his restorer has given up it'll only get much worse.

The mechanical parts are often the most reliable bits, but the bodywork can be a problem if not looked after. Too many hand built parts.

Does anyone know what this one was?
It's an ad for DKW that was one of the companies that got together to be Audi. The models looked like each other for years afaik, like VW beetles but this model car could be the front end of that line drawing

Auto-Union DKW, many many years ago there was a DKW dealer in Grimsby. The same place had a gull wing M-B 190 for several years. The dealer was in Duncombe Street. My mother was a girl guide leader in the place next door. It's where I became an honorary girl guide.Does anyone know what this one was?

Yes! Once helped tune one up when I was 18 and was allowed a spin up the local single track roads in it, nearly banged it
That one was black, love it in this colour.

Trundling down the M5 at 70 with the cruise control on yesterday and a Vauxhall Chevette sailed past me, old ‘R’ reg in a proper granddad burgundy colour. Looked to be in good health, can’t be many of those out running still. Respect to whoever’s keeping that alive.

They are getting valuable now as people want them to turn into HSR replicas.
