Rootes Arrows spots - 15.05.2013 update

[Guest]

After a short break as spotting threads seemed to be out of fashion I thought I would test the water.

VW Based Covin kit car ^^^^^^

When you can - blame someone else.

 

Quite a few more available if there is interest.

[Mr Lobster]

MOAR PLZ.

 

That Minor van is a bit special, I do hope it gets left like that.

[babydriver]

Yes please mawer for me too, loving these pics big time

[Skizzer]

 

Someone's gone to a whole lot of trouble to create this: I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

Fine spots - more please! Especially enjoying the first few pics, in the yard - did you step through an old door and walk out into 1985?

[Guest]

OK - Heres a few more

 

More?

[Angrydicky]

Yes please! Loving the Applejack Marina - perfect in every way.

[willswitchengage]

 

Slammed? Check. German numberplate? Check. Shittily mounted tyres? Check? Knobend? Check.

[Angrydicky]

At least it hasn't got any OMG stickerbombing though.

[Lord Sterling]

Brilliant spots as ever Rootes!

 

I remember when this was spotted, wasnt it on wheels then?

 

The applejack Marina was registered in Central London new, I wonder if it was sold there?

[mattblack]

Moggy traveller as previously spotted my m'self...

 

I saw the tatty saloon mixing it with the moderns on the Pork Pie roundabout the other night, complete with original flashing brake light indicators... RESPKT. And the Transit was in plain matt black last time I saw it, with a sign next to saying something about the writing being stolen.

[Wilko220]

Great to have you back!

 

That NSU is a depressing sight - but the glorious Marina makes up for it

[Pete-M]

Welcome back.

[TagoraSX]

MOAR!

 

Poor Ro80

[Guest]

Poor Ro80

Couple of more Ro80 then

 

HI - L.S I dont think I have ever seen this with wheels on.

And the house........

 

More Transit and other vehicles to follow - - - - - - - If required.

[Lord Sterling]

 

I remember walking passed a house in Birmigham with a huge sign about the owners displeasure with a local councillor - It read something like - 'COWNCILLOR ?????? IZ A LYING SOD' or something like that.

 

I think I may have a picture somewhere, I'm sure I took a picture when going passed.

[Morgan84]

Very nice pics;the pink 'Thing' must have taken some creating !!

[worldofceri]

Every one a winner.

 

I marvel at K&W Dairies magnificent (solid tyred!!!!1!) machines whenever I see them. Absolutely brilliant that they're in daily commercial use.

[Lufthansa-Terminal]

I knew a guy who wanted to put a 4x4 pandas running gear and driveline in a Mini van

[Angrydicky]

I think that Land Rover belongs to "Violet Vivid" on the blue forum.

[fiatdaft]

10/10 as usual!

It is v's and its in the spotted thread on there too

My fave spot this year so far is this - - - - - - - - - - - - -

1965 Hillman Imp

 

Thats all for now - more to follow in the future.

[Mash]

Excellent, the Imp, 1100 and Minor Traveller appear to have escaped from 1983!

 

Actually the Minor hails from my neck of the woods with a GKH number, likely to have been supplied new by Parishes or Kennings in Hull.

[Lord Sterling]

Brilliant spots Rootes!

 

 

I drove this car at Pride of Longbridge. Nice, very clean car.

[Cavcraft]

Welcome back, ace spotting and more of the same please.

 

 

{I'd be all over that Corsa if it was round here}

[Split_Pin]

Excellent spots there!

I'm strangely drawn to the Orion, probs because it looks right out of 1995 or something. Time seems to have stood still for the blue 1100 in about 1983 right enough!

 

I think the van is painted with blackboard paint. The funeral service signs on it were class!

[catsinthewelder]

Almost fell off my chair at the 'funeral services' sign writing

 

Thanks for posting RA

 

I think I recognise one of the BX's as Phil off BXP's infamous 'K39'
