Ford Zephyr/Zodiac/Executive mk4. Looks like an estate in this picture. It's not, it's a stretch limo. Though I think the description 'limo' might be stretching it a bit.

Other side of Broad Street, unusual fire appliance.

 

ay least it doesnt look bent in the middle like the toyoyo pickups

[Yoss]

These are Daimlers but I don't know which models. I think they were only ever going to be for spares but I can't even see that they'd be any use for that anymore.

 

 

The one nearest the camera is parked next to my bus and whilst the bus was fortunately away for some work the passenger door actually fell off! Not when someone tried to open it, just fell off all on its own, hence the strapping now running through the windows. You can see the A post has rusted right through. That's special.

 

[Yoss]

And I've saved the best til last. This is a Hillman Imp INSIDE a caravan! It's a coupe too but I have no idea which variant. It has no engine, I've peered through the holes by the number plate and can see the floor. Not the floor of the caravan, the actual ground.

 

 

 

There's a Morris 1300 behind the caravan. This looks quite rusty but unlike the Daimlers may be of use for spares.

 

[mercrocker]

Excellent foraging, there.....Imp variant is a Singer Chamois Coupe, the Daimlers look like a Conquest and the bigger DB18 Consort.   Zodiac is a Dorchester limousine by Coleman-Milne.  FIAT is indeed a 600 model.

What's this in the distance??

 

A self propelled trailer tent??

 

No.....

Definitely being towed...

 

Startled!!!

[AlabamaShrimp]

Whatever this was last week. Didn't get chance to see the front.

 

 

Stupid black plates.....

[mercrocker]

Piaggio Ape-like thing?

[AlabamaShrimp]

Just checked it and yeah Piaggio Ape. 187cc, with an engine so small do they carry much?

[spartacus]

Bohemia, was this a thing, or is it made up, the badge looks legit.

[Yoss]

I want one of those! That's a Felicia Bohemia! That's a pre facelift with all the toys. Central locking, electric windows, sunroof, colour coded bumpers, the works. For a Felicia anyway.

[Yoss]

Oh and alloy wheels and a little body coloured rear lip spoiler. And came in a range of bright colours. Would have looked like this new.

 

 

Who wouldn't want one of those? Howmanyleft says there's 13 left so well spotted.

[AlabamaShrimp]

 

This looked a lot worse than in the pic and the passenger side has simpler repairs, still no better than I would do.

 

And I can't remember if I ever actually seen one of these Suzukis before

 

[John F]

I found this Manta B in an actual barn recently...

 

 

 

[Mr A Lawrence]

Camera clear out.

Poor quality pic of weapons grade shite.

Mrs R. took this on her phone yesterday......

That is nice!

A two door L spec and it's somehow managed to remain standard.

[mercrocker]

Well, according to Mrs R it didn't sound standard.....I will have to investigate!

[Yoss]

So popped to ASDA this morning. I thought I'd found a space and was heading for it when I catch a glimpse of a familiar (to me at least) shade of blue. So a sudden change of direction which had the wife worried and I was parked next to this.

 

Of course once she realised what was going on there was one of those sighs followed by "you're going to take a photo aren't you?"

 

 

Needless to say she walked off as soon I'd stopped the car, too embarrassed to be seen with me. Which was fine as it allowed me to get a picture of this as well.

 

 

This came out a bit fuzzy for some reason. I've obviously no idea how phone cameras, or anything digital, works so to use a Pratchettism I can only imagine the little imp inside the phone was thinking 'what are you pointing me at? It can't possibly be that AX, that's not subject matter" and therefore refused to focus on anything.

 

Not visible in the picture but there's a nice bit of gaffer tape between rear bumper and wing. Proper Shite.

[mercrocker]

I just walked past there not 10 minutes ago!

[Guest Breadvan72]

No photeeze, alas, because I was driving, but on the M11 tonight I saw a Reliant Kitten, probably the first one that I have ever seen in the wild.  Later I saw what was either a Sierra Cosworth or an XR4i or summat being trailered on the M25.  

[Jim Bergerac]

This had a fancy bodykit and wheels but is a derv:

 

Volvo in spotted in Scotland shocker:

Today's mega spot, a late Avenger (badged Talbot as it's on a V plate).  Driven by a lad in his 30s and he'd just parked up, so I asked if he wouldn't mind if I took a pic.

 

 

 

Gives me a warm feeling seeing stuff like this in daily use, despite the shit loads of salt on the road at the moment.

 

 

[Yoss]

Those roof bars and slats look like they are off a hearse!

I miss mine!  Those wheels are wrong.

Look like they are Sceptre estate items - could be a serial Chrootes-licker.
