These both live on the same road in Barry, sadly the Consul has recently been run into. I'm sure it belongs to the chap who has had a succession of them. I missed getting a pic of the black Orion on the other side of the road, which belongs to the Consul chap. On my way out of Barry I saw another roadside casualty, a Mk2 Golf GTI, which also appeared to have been hit whilst parked and had the driver's back corner stored in and debris still on the road.

A C4 Loeb edition, with it’s younger sibling peering tentatively on.

 

Although I’ve read about them, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one of these before.

Toyota is an imported Chaser. Basically a 4-door Supra.

Sorry about the awful pictures but spotted this on the M25 heading to the Dartford bridge. No idea what it is.

Granada on an A plate spotted in MK today. Surprised to see it out in this weather!

I often see this knocking around it always puts a smile on my face  :-D

It's looking better than the last time I saw it. He must go through more blue hammerite than petrol.

I finally got a shot of this Carlton. it's been parked there for as long as I can remember. Must be an early one being D reg?

I did a bit of googling and found out it's a 1936 Riley that competed in the 1936 Rallye Monte Carlo!

That's lazy spotting.

 

Is this also Late Registration Madness? I'm sure you get Focus's (Foci?) older than this.

it would be hilarious to power* slide that Landy sideways through a speed camera and watch it explode as it tries to figure out the number plate  :mrgreen:

Spots on the Chod d'Azur

 

The Family Chodweaver is en vacance. In accordance with the general nobbery of the neighbourhood visited, and its vicinity to Monaco, the letting agent has so far arrived at Famille CW's temporary residence in a silver Carrera and a green Aston Martin. Neighbours have arrived and departed in variously, a yellow Bentley Continental, a black Bentley Continental, a very recent S class in a dark colour and a slightly older silver Merc estate (this delivers the cleaner's materials).

 

But I know that you have little interest in seeing any of these. What you want is the abandoned chod I spotted while walking the dogs.

 

So here you are:

 

First, I believe these are getting to be quite sought after now. If anyone fancies getting into the inevitable 'the seller saw me coming and the price spiralled out of reality' conversations, I can reveal the exact location of the door that could be knocked...

From the second pic you could think that it's in regular use and it's just the angle that gives the impression of the jungle engulfing it. You would be mistaken. Another year and it will be completely covered.

Just a few more doors down the same road, this rural hoarder is showing impeccable taste with a 309

"A mobile wart"? I beg to differ.

 

post-19003-0-73767400-1549216858_thumb.jpg

 

But they obviously have form in this departement... Poor old thing...

And again, just a few doors away, this little gem is proving that Renner may have been getting at least some of its paint process right in the 70s...but all the same, how is this still here???

 

post-19003-0-89323700-1549217351_thumb.jpg

 

Anyway, I know of just one of these local to me when at home. There seem to be just a few more in France, but not many...

To finish, have some properly venerable Cits spotted in their natural habitat while we were on our way down the country:

 

Clustered around an auberge at lunch time...

 

post-19003-0-83215700-1549217782_thumb.jpg

 

Yeah, yeah, I know. They probably haven't moved for some months. I reckon this however is the daily, for the moment. Till the owner can no longer afford the LHM or his hydroactive-friendly mechanic retires.

There was an overlap, first Focus was S reg, I think X is about the last for Escorts.

Yeah I think the earliest Focus were on an S reg?

I did happen to see an X reg Escort Estate yesterday (no pics I'm afraid) which surprised me.

Is it a 16 valve? I wonder if there is any way of telling?

That DJS thing is awesome! Even better than that weird stretched Mini Marcos someone spotted a couple of years back.
