Why put "Banger Racing" in the title Sweeney Bronze?

I would have put "no banger racers allowed" in the title.

Another Consul appeared on Ebay: Quite like this colour scheme... linkI had never come across the reference to the coke bottle bottle design before... and had to be educated. (From Wikipedia) "The car was available as a four-door saloon, a five-door estate (Turnier), and a two-door fastback coupé. The early (1972–73) coupé had slightly different sheet metal - a more pronounced coke bottle styling. In 1974, the coupé was revised, with straighter lines. A two-door saloon joined the range in May 1973,[8] reducing the entry-level advertised German price of the car by 415 Marks, but the two-door saloon version was never produced nor officially sold in the UK. The revised “straight line rear wing” coupé was sold only in 3.0 Ghia trim in the UK, but elsewhere in Europe it was sold with other trims and all engines were available. This was the reverse of the situation with the TC Cortina and Taunus, where the British model had the "coke-bottle" styling. In continental Europe, the 1976-1977 Granadas were also available with the fuel-injected Cologne V6, producing 150 PS (110 kW).[9]"

Sorry YUG, not a colour scheme that would be to my taste. It looks as if the owner has tried to make it look like a Plymouth Barracuda.
If I was to buy that car it would cost me a full, bare metal respray on top of the 10 grand to take it back to the original factory colour scheme.
Sam.

I like to stand out as different ;-) I do like period correct colours too, I love the stories cars could tell about their colours / fashions of the time and owners choices. Stripping our camper tailgate down this summer we discovered 12 previous colours (layers of paint) 'It's only original once' ;-)

If that Consul Coupe was only Arisona Gold, now you're talking.

This looks like excellent value if it really is as good as it looks - 1975 S2 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 Auto... www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1166117I often think that the presence of a cd player in a classic means the car is likely to have been used and enjoyed regularly. Villain
