Estafette...man in a van...contrast with the funky version I saw in France last year...and the standard body van at a show and the food truck at Calais...so seen four on the road within one year.

All these were today S. London...except this lonely Japanese yesterday Old Kent Road London. I missed the DS Safari because I could not get the camera out fast enough - only the second I have seen on UK roads. And a Lotus from today.

And not related to the above, what is this car parked in Guildford ?

I'd say a Fiat 125 'Samantha', by Vignale...

 

A few of them were built in RHD as part of the Frixos Demetriou 'venture'...

Kings College Hospital this morning. Both on Disabled Badges - so probably mature owners. The Mercedes W124 sports a natty 'AMG' spoiler and sheepskin seat covers...but the single exhaust betrays it's more humble origins...

Deffo getting more scarce - been a coupla months since I last clocked a Mk6 Ezz on the road. This earlyish one (Nov '95) looks the same colour as my old N-reg LX (Tourmallard Green) but it's a 'Finesse' special edition, which seems to just mean it doesn't get the LX spoiler. Also has the bland black cabin spec'd, rather than my rather snazzy Caramac-coloured version.

 

Rear arches aren't looking too clever though, and although the MOT history suggests it received mucho tickling with the sparkly stick back in 2012 to get it though, I'm not sure I fancy its chances going forward - especially given the colossal amounts of salt that've been dumped in and around Belfast since November.

Missing wheel trim and cracked front number don't bode well - maybe a note under the windscreen if anyone likes.

^^^ In fairness, I drove mine around for over four years looking like this, so comparatively this one's a cossetted little trailer queen...

Don't think I much fancy another (and I gather it's from Birmingham area originally, so not ticking any of Hendry's preferred dealer boxes) - but happy to make enquiries for as long as it's parked outside my office!

Couple from today, very tidy Metro, no MoT history showing prior to its current test done in August 2017 and showing under 42k then so maybe been off the road for a while before that, looked great and shone out like a beacon amongst the sea of gash 4x4s and Audis where it was

An earlier Austin, A40 Farina of course, looked quite solid, MoT out a couple of years ago and done hardly any miles in the last 10 years
