Took the dog for a walk round the block in South East London yesterday before lunch and spotted these.

Tidy looking Laurel, needed the tow ball to be refitted to the tow bar.

The most miserable camper van I can imagine.

Some class parked outside tonight. Probably more 'exclusive' than the normal Overfinches that usually frequent this spot.

I am always interested to hear the stories behind cars like that Saab 99.

J reg Proton!

 

This belongs to one of my wife's clients, an elderly lady who cannot drive any more. She owned it from new, it has a tiny mileage and what looks like an immaculate interior. Under that moss it's either going to be a complete minter or rotten as a pear. I did think of making tentative enquiries about it but I've really got my hands full.

That alfa is class, can it be saved?

 

 

A cursory search suggests it might be a case of contacting the local council (Winchester), but whether they'd be willing to sell it, rather than crush it is anyone's guess.

 

I've only just realised it's LHD, but I used to have a red 1.5 IE which I bought as an MOT failure for £60 and ran for many years before it finally succumbed to rust.

 

The car's located here, if anyone's interested.

Not what I was expecting to find among the moderns in "my" car park

Holy crap, that Alfa!

 

I wonder if it's the revered* three headed monster dizzler.

 

I'd put money on that having been driven up from Italy (small mount for the front plate) and then the owner's flown back home with the plates, since they have to be returned to the Italian authorities before he/she can deregister it.

 

I imagine it would be impossible to get it registered here without ringing it.

 

It's only a short drive (away from main roads) from my brother's house.  Being a member of HM's armed forces I'm sure he wouldn't mind me hiding a shifty motor in his garage.   Zero percent chance of this happening but it's fun to daydream...

I seem to remember that Scim has an SE5 nose for some reason, and possibly a hot engine

Reckon you are right, barrett judging by the badge on the wing.....Our local greengrocer had one this colour with slot mags - takes me back!

I've just took these off my camera...

 

Before Christmas I went down to Eastleigh to see an Aunt and Uncle, and collect the 900T gearbox that I bought and he collected from somewhere in Wiltshire last March...

 

We went to Portsmouth for the day, to see the Mary Rose, Victory and Warrior...

 

This old bus was in the multi storey, when we parked up...
