Department of Inappropriate Memorials

WTF people.

Spotted: 2007 Mini Cooper Braveheart Edition

A Mini with a Union Jack on the roof ain't exactly news, but apparently in the U.K. you can get one with a St Andrew's Cross too. Kinda cool.

"8-Track Player Not Included": 1973 Reliant Scimitar GTE

Like a Volvo 1800ES, only ugly, and terrible.

"Looks Good In the Pictures, Doesn't It?": 1983 Mercedes 380 SEC

"Well…it's not!" Still, no reserve, and at £500 it's a steal (assuming it runs). Can't you imagine Hooky driving this? I can.

If Only I Had a Cornish Garage: 1972 Lancia Fulvia

Cheap and rad. "Waxoyled" though? Anyone?

Past the Leisure Centre, Left at the Lights: 1986 Ford Capri Laser

I know what you're thinking: they were still building Capris in 1986? But don't you just wish we lived here and could buy something like this? With a "1.6 pinto engine" and a new exhaust "to replace the rotten old one"?

Phenomena Science Cannot Explain Away: 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel Pickup

Okay, lemme get this straight: a Volkswagen pickup, a diesel Volkswagen pickup, a diesel Volkswagen pickup with a hundred and sixty-seven thousand miles on it is looking like it's going to crest the five-thousand-dollar mark. A freakish anomaly, or is this the market pointing out a gaping hole in the line-ups of every manufacturer currently selling automobiles in North America? When's that new Mini pickup due, anyway?

Hallucinations of Grandeur: 1980 Ford Thunderbird

"Tomorrows [sic] Vintage Muscle Car" ftw!

I ♥ the 80s: 1980 Subaru 1600 DL-5

Why come no one is bidding on this? Sure the vinyl half-roof is kinda weird, but c'mon, the thing is freakin' immaculate! And with O.G. Oregon plates! Less than half the price of an M1!

Dept. of WTF: 1980 BMW M1

Is it just me, or is there something fishy going on with the above listing for this most dignified and appealing of '70s supercars? Because you know, I actually do have fifty-six hundred dollars for a reasonably lightweight mid-mounted twin-cam straight six wrapped in Giugiaro's finest, dual-roundels or not.
