Yarnerz Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 After owning a gold Ascona b back in the early 90s I’ve finally managed to track another one down. I picked it up from Northern Ireland yesterday and I’m on my way back home to Aylesbury on the Belfast to Liverpool ferry with it now. Really excited to have another one! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Well done with the find, have you been on the DVLA site “How many left” surely there can’t be many Asconas left, sure will be a rare thing 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarnerz Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Cheers Mike! I’ve not looked but certainly rare I’m sure especially as it’s a 2 door. I’ve got some research to do! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonmonkey Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Welcome onboard Great place to buy a car. Bought a few from Belfast, then a bit of tea on the ferry, a few Guinness and a bed for the night. Well done on getting a 2 door. Look forward to seeing a few pictures Edited October 25, 2023 by Moonmonkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Pounsett Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 You must be home by now @Yarnerz - where are the photos we’ve all been waiting for? 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarnerz Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I'm not sure how to load photos. Not sure if I have to wait for my membership to be accepted? Anyway here's a video the seller sent me. https://youtu.be/4X2hyhbMy8w You guys might have already seen this?.... https://youtu.be/z5dSJKkcEco?si=wYpXNREHP_44MCK_ Edited October 28, 2023 by Yarnerz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s £15 for web membership so well worth it as there are a lot of sections of the forum you won’t see until they are unlocked by membership. ‘Also please do start a project thread 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarnerz Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Thanks that’s really useful. I paid £25 for full membership earlier today. Still showing as membership pending. Maybe I need to wait a bit! Edited October 28, 2023 by Yarnerz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
