Scooterotica

my old man had loads of maxis in flame orange . it traumatised me for life

those old "brown "........."burnt orange" type colours were used for a reason.......................................to disguise the rust that usually started to appear just as the warranty ran out...............

Did any of them reach warranty running out before terminal failure? I know my dads Marina TC Coupe didn't.

He had one like this.



Nice colour, he chopped it in for a Maxi in the same colour. Funnily enough that ran fine for years. Must've been built one morning the Communists working for BL were something close to happy.

There couldn't have been too many of those.

You're all showing your ages with these cars

Maybe think about repainting it the same blue colour and tuning up the engine - yeah i know i am a boring b@5t@rd. But i kinda like the blue colour.
