And seen today in Penzance, the owner of this Ford D series has owned it from new, and has used it daily in that time delivering quality Cornish produce in West Cornwall! respect indeed....

With all the new Fiat 500's about (which I do rather like) it was nice to see this original beauty on Wapping Wharf in Bristol....

Despite its appearence, this hearing aid beige Corty is solid and its South Molton based owner is about to start restoring it....

This Beta is lurking in Falmouth, and has a tempting "for sale, reasonable offers considered" piece of paper on top of the dashboard....

I've often seen this old shiter on the roads of Plymouth being piloted by its obviously loving old giffer owner....

So odd seeing a pov-spec Mk4 Cortina nowadays, yet when I grew up the things were everywhere. If I do see one it’s usually a Mk5 (Cortina 80, whatever) so it’s a bit of a treat to the little rear lights and shallow windows on that one. Beige too.Like the reg on it, one of my old Laurels was RFP110R, IIRC.

Slight update from last week, starting off with a wonderful find on a Barnstaple council estate in the shape of a tatty Reliant Regal 3/25 saloon!

The truth lies somewhat in the middle I guess, Wiki says:The Reliant Fox is a small four wheeled glass fibre utility vehicle manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, England between 1983 and 1990. It used 850 cc aluminium engine and was technically based on the Reliant Kitten with which it shares its chassis, engine and running gear (with some modifications).

Superb photograph! Cut out the modern silver Corsa looking thing and it could have been taken 40 year ago! Even the roads and pavements look 1968. 8)
I know that car! The chap who owns it has had 1300s for years, really nice guy.
