On my dog walking route in Hoo.

 

 

Dumped on my drive and lacking brakes.

Acton shot! Mint looking Sunny taking a saline solution bath.
 
I see this Citroen wafting about often, it does look very swish.

In that there London, 15 minute walk from Euston.

 

 

What a peach. Not even run in and it's only just celebrated its 31st birthday!

The last keeper change for the Carlton was 10/02/1989!

[SierraMikeHotel]

That looks very modern for a D reg car. I like.

Wife complained when I took this one.

 

That's one less Streetwise on the streets.

 

 

Fiat heavy trip to Southsea.

Impressive rust.

Mecklenburgh Square. I had that one a while ago along with a Volvo estate

I see so many 190 and w124 Mercedes in London I have stopped photography - until I started looking I did not realise how many were about. However these two caugh my eye. The first is enthusiastically owned - nice guy we had a chat and say second car in traffic a few seconds later. Second car more of an everyday runabout.

[lesapandre]

These are a rarer sight in London.

[Cheggers]

Far from shite but worth a share, spotted this morning in Portchester. Badged "300D"

This was taking no prisoners in the snow.

Forgot I'd seen this in Huddersfield the other day

Out and about in high winds this morning, trudging along trying not to get blown over - when suddenly I spied something interesting on a recovery truck ahead. Shopping was dropped and gloves flung to the pavement in a flurry of activity to get the phone out and camera switched on before it was too late:

 

 

Well, bless my soul - a high spec Astra B estate. Pic not helped by the Astra's modern great-great nephew getting itself in the way.

 

My fluster was needless, as the truck was in fact stopped and about to park amongst a bunch of film crew vehicles:

 

 

 

Very clean indeed. Apparently there's been a film crew shooting scenes in Carrickfergus this week for some sort of TV programme relating to the 25th anniverary of the Warrington Bombing - at a guess, this Astra may be part of some sort of reconstruction.

 

Returned to the car park (with mildly squashed groceries) to find what looked like a bijou Citroen club gathering in progress - probably ahead of a run up the Antrim Coast Road. Vehicles were already leaving so I'd no time for niceities. None of these are cars I've seen out and about elsewhere:

 

 

 

 

Quite a high stance on this BX GTI.

Brave man driving a Mehari in this weather!

Greenwich London

Not what you'd expect to see negotiating a snowy Deptford High Street on a Saturday afternoon. Hymer diesel and LHD for added fun.

^^^^That Maxi looks a bit pumped up? Too-big wheels and low profile tyres?

 

[chodweaver]

^ That Maxi looks to have more than the usual amount of landcrab dna in it.

 

 

Want.

When Leyland took over British Motor Holdings to form British Leyland the Maxi was almost ready to launch. They tidied up the styling a bit - using Roy Haynes formerly of Ford. Then set off to make the Marina. If they had poured the development work into the Maxi instead they might have done better in the end. That Maxi looks sorted by someone - a much improved look on slightly bigger wheels. Bravo to the owner. If you get the chance to see a Maxi in the metal they are an interesting design and deserved better.

In West Ealing five minutes ago.

I thought the Maxi might have looked less old-fashioned if they hadn't been obliged to use the Landcrab's doors to save money. There would have been scope to make the front windscreen and leading edge of the front doors more raked-back.

[lesapandre]

Yup. I believe it was decreed by George Harriman. Austin had a longer tradition of doing this - I think the Westminster used the Cambridge doors and Hereford the Somerset's. It was a bit of a lash-up but they look better in the metal - quite low by today's standards.

Today S. London. Second pic is an ADO16 on a flatbed making a getaway. Think it was a Morris version.
