Lazy spotters thread

Went with my dad to pick up his nearly new Mondeo and they were using this as an advertising vehicle, 32,000 from new. Looked immaculate and unsurprisingly was getting more comments and attention than anything they had for sale.

Oh god the Aerodeck! Why did you have to remind me they exist?!

GR9 Cortina 2.3 GL.  Mismatched panels and interior had the hallmarks of giffer ownership (cushions, random tat on the back seat etc).

Huge want for the Cortina. Looks like it's straight from a 90's council estate!

RHD too, so probably worth about 20 grand.

Some winner at life has been driving this for the last 23 years:

There is a story I came across years ago that the Aerodeck design was originally going to be the next Reliant Scimitar, but was rejected by Reliant. If true, history might have been very different, and the Aerodeck might well have been a fibreglass shell......

So, you like Cortinas, do you?  Have a load of this Carousel.

I've seen a young guy driving it around recently who is presumably the owner, it looks mint (hah! cos of the colour...) but up close does have a few holes.  I'll stop now.

 

Talking of holes...

Terrible photo but this is a W-plate smiley Transit, it's been sat on this driveway for a very long time now, until recently I hadn't been past it for years and couldn't help but grab a quick photo seeing as someone's poked it with their foot and highlighted that the last foot of bodywork seems to be mostly crumbs.

 

Why you would want the front of your property dominated by something like this, I have no idea but each to their own.

Here's another view of that Silver Shadow. Hasn't moved in years. Wonder if it will ever make it back onto the road?

Just along the way is this mid-1980s Winnebago which rocked up before Christmas and hasn't turned a wheel since:

The area I'm looking to move to has some impeccable crud.

This had a handwritten sign in the window- "Not abandoned, owner having chemo"

And this was living van converted.

Interior was fully giffer

There's also a street with three smiley transits I need to pap.

I was idly looking to see if Google have been down my road recently. Understandably they hadn't, as this was outside my shed about 10 years ago. Not mine, anyone seen it about more recently?

Saw this whilst at the Black Prince running day in Morley today.

Is this the one Bonhams had a few years ago or a different vehicle?

I like to think the owner of that last Avenger has been laboriously changing the colour of his window frames to match his new Avenger rather than the old one.

 

Seems to be the remains of another one sitting behind.

Same owner since 2014 and low miles, looked to be someone fairly young driving it. Tidy save for the missing C pillar and wheel trims.

We had an AX Highlight like that (K283DHP). Would you believe that it managed to do 193,000 before being scrapped in 2012? It was knackered when we sold it in 2006!

Nothing really much to shout about but original Minis never fail to brighten up the scenery.
