Well used looking K10 in Westbourne, near Emsworth.

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

Were the additional lamps an option on these?

[High Jetter]

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

Eksellent parking skillz 2

[Retr0naut]

Had to pop over to Wellingborough, parked behind a lazy spot.

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...

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

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.
I personally cannot remember seeing these even when they where new!

Crikey!

[Datsuncog]

Crikey Moses, don't think I've ever seen a RHD version of a Volvo 262C - I gather they were special order only in the UK, as well as frighteningly expensive...

[bramz7]

That 262 has been parked there for years now. The presumed owner lives very close by and has loads of other old Volvo's, including another 262. 

[spartacus]

A few spots...

The mini, metro and Vauxhall's were taken at the Rotherham show, there's always a great turnout but even though my girls, (12) and Mrs Spart are incredibly patient I couldn't justify taking pictures of every car.

The Lada was LHD. The ZX is a Volcane, it's looking crusty around the sills to me and I don't think it's moved for a while.

The red BX I think belongs to a lady in Sheffield whose family also own a white BX and have done for some time.

Not sure what's going on...I've seen four of these little buggers in the last two days!

All different colours, so not just the same one several times.

Look fun cars...though I'd still rather have a Cappuccino.

Seriously miss mine.

Would have another (or buy that one back given the guy basically welded the two ends of the car back together after I discovered the fuel and brake lines were the only things preventing the driver's seat dropping through the floor) in a heartbeat...though they're getting really pricey these days.

[Squirrel2]

Spotted in Tenby last weekend..

Found myself following this Ami8 down to the waterside this afternoon and got chatting to the owner; it's his own restoration and is in daily use.
