The "bloater" is a 2nd gen Ford Tempo.
The 2 wheeled "grimness" is a rare Zündapp KS50 Super SL, which is actually quite spiffy when unmolested:

Could you please enquire how much it is including postage to Stockport?

Well, and the Chrysler Stratus LX is just that - a Chrysler Stratus LX.


Are you near a Septic air base?

In its day the KS 50 was more competent than anything we had in the UK.

You should probably have put this thread in the motoring section, but I doubt anyone cares all that much.

I agree with the above re. the Zündapp KS50 btw, they're an ace little bike.
On the road:
1998 Disco 4.0 V8 (manual)
1994 Vauxhall Calibra 3.0 V6

Running but need fettling:

1986 Honda CBX750F
1991 Maserati 222 SE
1990 Yamaha XJ900F

Tax & MOT-exempt, woohoo!
