Saw this yesterday. I didn't know the roof all opened.

Had 4x4 and Ghia badges on the front wing, was that a thing? Sadly galloping wheel arch and sill rot as well as some Barry Lexus-style tail lights

It is indeed a thing. Quite a rare thing.

Who was the amateur film director?!   

 

I have never yet seen that Daimler dirty, it looked like that all through Winter, too.

He did apologise as he almost walked in front of me. I doubt he had any idea what the subject matter was. Annoyingly there was a Porsche 924 two cars in front of the escort but I wasn't ready in time.

Not a very good picture but the best I could get. Some sort of Leyland

Seen this around occasionally and I love it. Still has dealer plates and stickers from Market Garage Romford

A year ago I wouldn't have bothered with this but it's the only T-reg one I've seen recently and not one on an S for weeks. Are they getting that scarce or is it me not noticing?

I think the early ones are getting scarce.

Time to find a decent one and stash it away for a few years then £££!

Kind of what I'd started thinking..There's one of the yellow millennium ones local to me too but I've never had a chance to get a picture of it

Burbling through a small country town in L'il Thunder last night, when something snagged my eye through a dusty showroom window and I pulled over...

Well, bugger me sideways. If it isn't a 2.8 Grandud... with white wheeltrims on steelies?

Looks more like Ford Diamond White to me, rather than 'Cream', but it was dusk and I'm not going to start an argument.

 

Other, slightly more borderline chod also a-lurking: Volvo floppytop, for one.

MOAR shite visible out the back, too - though only the deflated Audi 80 B4 sparked much interest.

There were some more old knockers parked further up the hill to the side, inc. Ford Ka, Mk1 Focus, and E36 flavour BMWs, again on flat tyres and looking generally unloved.

 

The whole place had a somewhat run-down vibe to it, but is, apparently, still an operating business...

Rancho at the Bondville model village near Brid.

Is that a commentary on how much bigger modern cars have become?  The Rancho is to scale but the Bini is nearly the same size as the caravan it's parked next to :P

 

datsuncog - whereabouts is that showroom?  looks like a very intriguing place.

It's in Ballyclare, Co Antrim - a traditional wee county town garage, somehow staying in business despite probably selling something like eight cars a year.

 

Trading for 50 years, according to website blurb.

If I hadn't been following the satnav rather than going my usual route through the town, I never would have seen it...

What a lovely looking Daimler. Quite a suitable registration, given the quanities of Autoglym SRP is looks to have had lavished on it.
