It's arrived!
The calendar was waiting for me when I got home...
The definitive list:
lotus elite s1
aston martin lagonda
de lorean dmc 12
goggomobil ts300
austin/morris/wolseley/bl princess
vw porsche 914
reliant rialto
bond bug
vauxhall viva hc
renault rodeo
tatra t613
triumph stag
The most puzzling thing about the whole calendar is that aside from calling itself 'crap cars', there is very little of a critical nature inside. The words are by Giles Chapman, and (for example), the harshest thing they have to say about the 914 is that it 'looked like it was going both ways at once' (what - left and right?), and that it was more expensive than an MGB.
The photograph shows the previous owner at the wheel (a DDKer), and several of the cars are photographed against the same background building, so I'm betting he could even pinpoint when the photos were taken. The photographer is David Kimber, whos business is based in Bournmouth, which is where the car lived previously.
So it's going on my wall, and I'll stick some labels over the 'crap' text and write 'interesting and under-appreciated' on in crayon instead.
