Gompo Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Elan +2 in Brixton? Is it yellow covered with a bit of tree detritus? If it is, I'd lay my money on it being one of the two that are usually parked up on Croxted Road. Is the other one white? I've spotted one around that area.

Adrian_pt Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Been absent for quite a while but to make up for this I have been seeing some shite! Pimlico and the Ibiza that keeps going on and on and on Sloane Square Lancia Posh Even posher This was actually rather scabby on the inside - though glorious The B is scene-d but the Mini is a daily driver No idea what this was Giffer-owned - this cruises down the Kings Road daily like a HERO This Alfa looks increasingly battered and has recently picked up about 20 parking tickets without moving. Madness! Finally a shot of the 1000SEL. Garish but glorious. 1993 called! P6, an increasingly rare sight Nice Merc Looks absurdly modern for a Y-plate Passat still going strong Alfa in Fulham Finally, a Bristol. Check out those panel gaps!

michiel Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Zoinks! That Bristol is fab, Aprilia might be my favourite car ever (for the next 5 minutes), the unknown could be a Lagonda 2.6? GR8 UPD8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 MUTHA FLIPPA, some top-grade spots there. I dont know which to get most exited about - the scabby roadside lancia, the Y-reg audi (surely one of the oldest left anywhere, seems to have its original plates as well) or the wheels on that Seat Ibiza, which seem to be MEGA rare nowadays, I bet Biqqle wouold love to put them on his.

purplebargeken Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 On the Bristol, does that panel behind the front wheel not lift out? Sure it is a cubby hole of some kind or even where the spare wheel resides. Fab pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggersdog Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Some great spots there.Is that junkman's P6 ? Those Bristol lower wings are indeed compartments for the spare wheel one side and the battery the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TagoraSX Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Good stuff. That Y reg Audi 100 is one of the earliest. I've only seen one other Y and didn't buy it because it was an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Although, like any sensible person, I would rather gouge my own eyes out with a rusty teaspoon than live in London, I must say I am insanely jealous of the amount of High Class Chod there is in the capital. Any one of those spots would have me feverishly playing a game of pocket billiards if I saw them down here. Brilliant. Agree that the Lagonda is a Lagonda btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonm Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 That Taunus has been in that estate car park on the north side of Wandsworth Bridge for as long as I can remember. Never seen it move..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian_pt Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 A few more from the past months. I enjoyed the body kit on the Jag but the Vauxhall was by far and away the top spot. michael t, brickwall, Magnificent Rustbucket and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Fair play, that Royale is something else. Top bombing, sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_pt Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 I was pretty pleased with the Royale... Couple more from the past few months. The BMW shares a stable with Astons of recent and Sixties vintage. The duct-taped Cadillac is regularly driven by an old dear around Fulham, where the Belmont is also a regular (alongside an E-reg Fiat Regata which I've never managed to snap and therefore retains mythical status). The Reliant Kitten was in Hammersmith with its rather eccentric owner. brickwall, Magnificent Rustbucket, Junkman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_pt Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Four more. The Sherpa was OMG import registration. The Y-reg Suzuki Alto recently replaced an A-reg Fiesta which itself replaced a K-reg Reliant Regal saloon about ten years ago. brickwall, Junkman and Magnificent Rustbucket 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian_pt Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 A bit more cack, mainly from the Earls Court / Primrose Hill area. I have no idea what the green abomination is at base - probably a Yank. The Citroen seems to be an import reg. The Escort was pleasingly povvo spec, the Cortina (a flashback to 1993 if ever there was one) is still going strong, and as for the Micra/Jag convertible, that's quite possibly the worst thing I've seen in my life.

Jim Bergerac Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The green car is quite something. Looks like an Infiniti Q45 but the front end with the tall bonnet, Bentley-style grill and (corsa?) headlamps seem to be an aftermarket/barry boy fitment.

Adrian_pt Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 A little more - the green Cortina, this time in daylight; a US-spec Saab we've had before, still with a nasty dent; a very early W124 (assuming it's not a private plate); a Kensington Honda; and, just about visible in a mews dealership, a Fiat 130 Coupe and, a snip at £14k, the saltiest Mehari I've seen. trigger and Magnificent Rustbucket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_pt Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 And a few more. The Volvo estate was really nice - there's a few of these still in use as middle-class chariots. The AC was a little bit special: it's a Greyhound and one of 83 built. The Rolls is in utterly crumbly condition - the owner also has a white saloon version, also with LUV on the numberplate, and equally crusty. Definitely a WINNAH. The Vitesse made my day - clearly enthusiast-owned and in pretty much flawless condition.

Adrian_pt Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 More tat. My highlights were the giffer-owned Daihatsu Charade and the Hyundai Pony which, though a lot younger than what I tend to snap, is now a seriously rare sight. The black Merc in the first photo was a genuine 6.9. We've had the Minor before but I couldn't resist the patina.

Lord Sterling Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Brilliant spot Adrian. Whenever I've been to London I'm always running against time so spots are limited. But there really is some wonderfully varied and interesting stuff down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
