Should I buy this....

Norway: Hi car taxes and we live like trolls and have a lot of sea around us! Top Gear love us because we can handle a lot of snow but we have rotten roads, who menas the motors we drive are boring... But I like some few times to look on my local advert for cars here.

So what did I find today?

The car is a 35 year old Subaru "Touring" with 4WD and a flat four engine! Make this half way rat-look and 13 inch minilite alloys with a drop and you have a mega cool classic!

For those who dont know, this is a old Subaru Leone!

How much is it?

[Falkster]

I'm sure I've done it wrong but it might be £171?

[78dude]

150 ish....

Yes!

[B7]

Buy it!

Erik, you're a deviant!

DO IT!

[Jhonno]

Yes..

The Subaru was sold - I hope it went to a good home, some one who want to give it a lot of TLC and let the motor from Japan meet the road again.

But Im not crying because of that....

The next on the list is the Mini Riley who is some sort of a Mini`s answer to VW Jetta because its have a boot.

Its a RHD, so I think it had a good life in UK before it went to Norway with the boat! The price is 1500 NOK - the question is... is it my cup of tea?

Incl in the price is an extra shell and some parts for the floor.

Looking a bit cool with the 10 inch Dunlop

LOL!

The Riley Elf is difficult to get bits for- and not particularly pretty

[Jhonno]

Preferred the Scoobydoo..

Only the Riley parts of the Rey Elf will be difficult to find and there's a spare shell. All the mechanics will be easy to get. Simple and cheap (ish) to restore with a bit of novelty value thrown in.

Much more likely to be saleable than the Subaru.
