Lazy spotters thread

I suspect that 404 is one of the several that are advertised occasionally on the green site buy a total nutcase. The pics usually show the cars covered by tarps so there is no way to judge the condition at all, and they're usually about 10 times the value of a rusty old Peugeot. He's had at least one DS for sale recently, too. I'm pretty sure they are Peckham or nearby.

I see you Jimny.

That's the problem sometimes with offering to buy old stuff - overvalued so thats why they are where they are. Our local breakers had a 300zx in - picked up scrap from somewhere- I didn't ask how much because I knew they would ask crazy money.

A few from Lanzarote, I didn't get the chance to do hardcore shite spotting as I was working*. There's some shite on the roads there, I saw a sun faded Renault 9, plenty of Nissan Vanettes, SEAT Incas and old Datsun pickup and my colleague spotted an Opel GT, the one based on the Saturn Sky.

 

One of the few older Peugeots I saw.

 

 

Ungainly Nissan Trade

 

 

 

Fit the shittest headlights of any 90s car to a bus, why not?

Really nice 240GL:

 

 

 

This is more my style...Today near the local Tesco - I think its the new Jack's delivery van.

 

Is this Stretford or do they tour these things around desolate shopping malls?

 

[brandersnatch]

Marylebone.

[Cheggers]

Wandering the streets of Bern, it's apparent the Swiss just don't do older cars...Except for this.

 

Looks good in the pic but even better in the flesh. It looks like it just rolled out if the showroom.

Spotted - NorfolkNWeigh showing his eco friendly side

 

 

(His username probably also his response to this )

Three recent ones from work.

 

The Sierra is a 2.0 Ghia and was being driven by a middle aged woman. I bet she'd had it a long time.

I didn't realise you could still buy these deathtraps. To actually use one as a car for a disabled person is a special kind of brave. Thought the only use was to sell overpriced bad coffee.

 

 

Are the rear wheels supposed to be on the piss? Looks like a knackered trailer.

Quite well barried

Meanwhile in the South Wales valleys, 1974 wants its Minx back.

[Yoss]

Proper miniMETRO.

[Ohdearme]

What do you do with a problem like Marea? (ok it’s a Brava but I’d already thought of the pun when I saw the front end and I’m sticking with it)

Horsley, yesterday

Local car park find

Fleet Services northbound.

 

The driver was sat in it so this is my attempt at covert surveillance.

I was parked a few spaces away from there... last year.

Easy Rider in Deptford. VW engined and actually nicely done. 

[Zelandeth]

Today's snap from the Kingston MK Tesco car park...

 

 

Sounded like it really could have done with the valve clearances set as it was doing a passable imitation of a Valencia engined Fiesta.

At Tesco petrol today, never see an unmodified one these days

[Braddon81]

Spotted in Mumbles today.

[brandersnatch]

“Quick Mrs.B take a photo of that car for me please.”

“Another one for Autoshite?”

She’s a wonderful woman.

Had a weekend in town.

 

These are barely worth a second glance, or a first, when you're in London, I saw four over the weekend, but you never see them anywhere else.

 

Nice looking Bristol. Again you don't think anything of it because London.

I wonder if they still have that showroom in Kensington? Someone here will know.

 

The view from our hotel room.

The Jag would very much fit in with our community but that thing lurking with its nose sticking out from under the building certainly wouldn't.

 

And then this oddity.

French registered crane earning a living in Piccadilly. Is it a Renault? So is it really cheaper or more convenient to hire a crane from France? I guess it's not that far really but there must be crew lodgings and board etc... And will it still be possible after brexit?
