Lazy spotters thread

[dave j]

Not one of my spots but from a local Facebook group. Never knew they did a 2 door!

Neither did I!

Wikipedia reckons this would be a Dacia 1410 Sport . Looks a bit like what the Japanese might have built in the 1970s to widen the variety of grey porridge - there's something quite Datsun-ish about the overall look of the thing.

That's spot of the year isn't it? So somebody else has driven a Dacia back from Romania and gone to the trouble of reregistering it. Brilliant. 

The coupe was a Romanian only version, I don't think Renault did one. 

 

EDIT: I don't think it's been here long. MOT'd in May this year, that's the only MOT that shows up. It passed with no advises and has only done 59,000km (about 36,000 miles?). Surely we need to find these people.

Doesn't look bad, especially side profile. Front grille and headlights look a bit artificial; Google Images show the original grille, lights and chrome bumper to be much neater. A Gordini engine in that would be a gas.

[Yoss]

Yeah, looks better with all the tat removed. Though I think the green one has a standard face-lift grille but it would normally be black. Still would though.

So these two are for hire? Brilliant. That Honda is exactly the sort of car I want to hire on holiday. Something you don't need to worry about. Not the three day old Peugeot 208 I was given in Zagreb that I couldn't relax in at all for fear of putting the slightest mark on it.

I’ve got my own spotting thread somewhere but I can’t be arsed to find it, which must qualify me as a lazy spotter.

Here’s a few recents.

 

NSU Prinz TT at Silverstone. Took well over an hour to get out of that car park, so full marks for doing it in a 48 year old air cooled hot hatch*.

(I gave the driver a thumbs up but he just gave me a deadeye stare. Bloody Audi drivers.)

 

Bahama Beige is for winners. Not diggin’ the wheels though.

 

Hotted up 68(?) Chevy Nova. There was some sort of meet as there were a couple of other rods’n’sods around, but no other pics (Mrs S was on photo duties while I was driving) and anyway this was the most interesting.

 

DVLA suggests this is a replica but a good one. Looked great. 

 

Finally, Ealing continues to be one great safari park of chod.  This cute Nova SRi looked pleasingly unmessed with.

I work in Ealing, but don't recognise this particular junction.

Northfields / West Ealing / Hanwell does have some promising shite.

24 karat shite and a sight for sore eyes this evening at Cambourne Morrisons. Seemed like the guy had done the school run with it!

Kentish village spot. The owner also has a DS, want to pap them both together really.

Shite spotting in Japan (not easy as all the cars are so well kept or new). Found an X300 in Kyoto though to my amazement.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Along the way from Ealing Town Hall just now.....

Top of Lionel Road, where it meets Popes Lane.

Smoll car spotted at the services outside Brizzle aeropuerto, but what's this in the background!!?

Dun, dun, dahhhh! Stray SVM loitering next to the Tesla-top-upper.

I was in a scrapyard. A lot of dead Rovers. This one was the easiest to snap.

[Conan]

my shite game is poor atm

[puddlethumper]

I finally got a not very good pic of my arch enemy rival in the

Who's Driving the Oldest Daily in my area. Hadn't seen it for a while

and was thinking I might have taken the title, but nay.

I'm determined to outlast him and his non rotting bodywork. 

A reg Reliants. Pah!

Alton bus rally yesterday. 

I like the contrast here. 

And this mk1 Laguna was actually in the classic car section at the bus rally. Which is great to see. Obviously we can all see it for what it is but the general public wouldn't so it's good to see some 90s stuff getting some recognition.

A Laguna that hasn’t been pillaged for its splitter!
