Right then, this next picture is so Shite I’d be highly surprised if the owner isn’t a fully fledged member of this community. Spotted M1 northbound past 23/24.

Apparently caused some trouble by blowing an intercooler hose off on the M6 just after setting off on the way here and had to be sorted in the pouring rain.

Fiat 127 Series 3, a car which I've never understood the point of.  Substantial facelift with a completely new dashboard and lots of other interior changes only one year before the 127 was replaced by the Uno.

I've got the brochure:

Fiat 127 Jan 1983 brochure 01

 

I had one of those 1300Gt's years ago, it went better than my wife's early XR2 she had at the same time. HST537Y if I remember rightly.

Panther black 3 door escort GTi spotted. This brought back memories from my youth! I’d love another, but I recon tin worm has seen the majority of them off.

Spotted months ago in the south of Frants.

I don't believe this falls into the wider bucket of shite so please take this Egyptian Caprice as payment

Very lazy spot, A70 Hereford belongs to my work colleague currently is his daily!

Both polo and A70 have weak batteries so are both pluged in to the mains, real plug in hybrids!?

A nice couple of work car park spots. The Megané was pristine and on “Wests Of Cambridge” dealer plates

Yes, IIRC there was a kit containing the replacement grille with the lights already installed.

Cygnet spotted in Edinburgh yesterday, first time I've seen one up close. Looks a bit like the lovechild of a Fiesta crossbred with a Toyota IQ. Doing plenty of miles between MOTs so may be someone's daily runabout.

Aston got their fingers burnt by this one. But anyone who did manage to buy one can pretty much get their money back now that the collectors/flippers have discovered them.

Did they? I thought it was a tax fiddle to ensure that not everything they sold was a thirsty / high emissions supercar?

Yes it was an emissions tax fiddle, but they made no money on the iQ-rebadge as so few of their target market (existing Aston owners) actually bothered to buy one.

A rather nice spot from MrsDC last week - she'd noticed this parked up in a haulage yard on the way in to work, and on the way home stopped for a pic - just as some lad was enthusiastically putting it through its paces.

Seems to be one of the last Mk3 Scorpios - in 24v Cosworth flavour?

Nice.

 

Meanwhile, its more humble brother is still sitting in a dealership half a mile away...

Not a Caprice but its more conservatively styled fancy brother, the Roadmaster sedan.

90s fiat fiorino van spotted whilst on holiday in great yarmoth recently.
