I'd like to present one of my 306's strut top bearings. Surprisingly a little graunchy but functional. Changed in a sort of "belt and braces" move as was fitting new dampers. Pictured with a new cheap replacement as comparison. Obviously did not have any idea quite how bad it was until disassembly!

Do I win a prize? :rofl2:
They're bad Matt! I was advised to change them in my erstwhile white AX after an MoT advisory and whilst a bit iffy, nothing like yours...

You definitely take the prize ;) :D
