Most people on here probably won't even know what they are.......
But I'll stick up a 'WANTED' post anyway, just in case anybody happens to know of one languishing in a driveway, garage or barn somewhere?
I've owned a fair number of them over the years, and fancy getting hold of another one to play with.

You looking at a Rallye rep?

A Rallye would be nice, but finding one will be hard work, I've been looking for one for a year or more.
Ideally I'd like to find one that has been competition prepared and is all ready to go.
There's actually a lot of Sambas for sale in France, so if I can't find anything over here I may have to take the trailer and go over with a pile of Euros.

The blue/silver one in Devon that's been part prepared for rallying?
It's a car I've known about for a long while, and he's been trying to sell it for most of that time.
I'll certainly be tempted if the price comes down more, but it needs a fair bit of finishing off work, and I'm trying to avoid that (even if it means spending more to start with).
Was a Rallye went on RR ages ago for around £800..
You may have noticed I've occasionally name checked the Samba as one of my favourites..
There was one in Redcar a few months ago went for pennies..
I talked myself out of it at the last minute and kicked myself later..
LS, went for under £200..

That £800 Rallye was in Lincolnshire as well, and I missed out on it. It was a bargain.
I'm kicking myself for selling all of the ones I've had in the past!
I had a Samba 'S' in silver way back in 1989, and it was rusty even then (when it was only 6 years old!). Me and a mate reshelled it into a rally prepared bodyshell, and it was a great little car.
Since then I've had 3 others (including an appalling, but rust-free 954cc base model).
I will get another one!

Samba is on my shortlist of projects..
For now Nova is stilll top but it boils down to what I find first, closest, cheapest, least hassle etc..
It was almost a Yugo Tempo back in the summer!!!

Now you don't see a Yugo these days.........

It was in a scrappy..
Condemed to die (C.O.D) had been issued and they wouldn't/couldn't sell me the whole car..
Shame as I was up for the challenge..
And it WAS a challenge!
I'll keep an eye out for Sambas..
They nearly all seem to be convertibles that come up for sale though...
Citroen LNAs and Peugeot 104s even rarer..
