FUN PHAKT - When my mum was in labour with myself and Alex, we were whisked to the hospital in a Yugo 45

Some great finds. I love the way the mk2 Cav looks like it's been whisked straight from the early 90s and dumped into 2019.

Still no Montrose though. I reckon I might have to ask on a Camborne Facespace group or something.

That Alpine is a fantastic spot. With the ladders on the roof, I thought it would be a long term owner, but it changed hands in 2017.

The current owner bought it in 2017 I believe. It's currently having an engine overhaul then it will be back to daily duties. The owner is a window cleaner, he looks after his cars very well. He also has a lovely old Austin A40 which is immaculate.

Lanner Rovers are legendary!

I posted a pic of that Delta a couple of years ago, it was pretty much parked on a beach, I thought it was an odd choice of car for Cornwall, it looks to be wearing OK though.

I'm pleased it still seems to be a haven for chod down there, I lived there in the mid-late nineties and it was the same then. Great thread!:-)

@stilo_active Great photos once again.

That Minor is straight out of 1985. Amazing.

No sign of the lesser spotted Montrose I assume?

And have some more.

@Dick Longbridge, thank you. Sadly not and I've been keeping my eyes peeled for that Montrose. I've even stalke... I mean driven up and down roads that I saw it on regular occasions quite often.

Thanks for ~~stalking~~ checking the area anyway! I hope it's squirrelled away in a garage rather than driveway, but impossible to tell I guess.

I'm amazed that so many of your other spots are locally registered.

Polo breadvan and Riva both give me want face. I do like estates

Cornwall has always had some good chod, mild climate, low miles and elderly folks mean old cars last down there. Years ago I bought a Sierra in Penzance, it was the only one I could find where the arches weren’t rusty.
