55bloke Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Sorry if this isn't quite the sort of pair you were hoping for!! My 25 alongside one of it's contemporaries at the local shopping centre. I haven't posted any "spots" on here for MONTHS (except for my holiday pics!) coz there's been very little to see around here. But, here are the few I have seen over the last several months:Scruffy MoggyNicer oneCute little FiatThis Rover was seen in YorkAs was this Marina- class!! Finally, very hastily snapped as it passed us going the other way. A fairly poor selection compared to what some of you are finding, I know, but there really is very little to see around here.

pogweasel Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Agreed, half-arsed Starsky & Hutch job actually looks quite fetching there. I once nearly bought a Chevette with a similar scheme and B F O Wellers, wish I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Shame the 25 wasn't looking it's cleanest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycox Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 The Carlton looks like it's got a boot full of concrete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 I thought the Carlton looked a little low at the rear too! As for my unwashed 25, all I can say is, it's been a pretty foul week here in Sheffield, and it IS my daily driver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratdat Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 That Marina rules My friend James had a red Datsun Violet with a Starsky and Hutch stripe some years ago. Most amusing. I remember seeing many innapropriate shittes done like this in my childhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once nearly bought a Chevette with a similar scheme and B F O Wellers, wish I had. My father had one of the Chevettes you speak of! DTV Special with Ember red under Astra silver (stripe) with "Special" badges on the front guards. The stripe went up the rear quarterpanels, but not over the roof.Reg. no. UOI 3545, pictures will now be dug out!We drove from Cairnryan to Kent in that car in 1981 (twas a '79 motor) me and my little sister (she was 3) stuck to the vinyl seats in the heat.BTW, did the same trip in 89 in a Rover 827 Vitesse FB. Some difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been commented on before, but..... in their day, the Carlton and the 25 were both BIG cars, but they're both dwarfed by what are considered moderately sized cars these days. Just look at whatever that thing parked on the other side of the Carlton is (they all look the same to me these days.) It's bloody huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
