Blimey! Two Athenas. I think there are only two on the road. Is that a recent pic?

It's a Daf 66 or, in this case, a Volvo 66.

what really breaks my brain is how it looks just like yours from 1990!

I thought to myself when I the post a couple days ago "surely thats a private plate" but nope genuine 1978 vehicle!

they really changed nothing major did they! (but at the same time I really would not have thought the design was old as the 1970's!)

Even Lada's got more styling updates LOL

Nope, there really isn't much to tell apart a 78 or 93 van - only tell is the really early ones had the indicator repeaters higher up on the wing mounted the other way around compared to the later ones - or didn't have them fitted in some cases at all.

The only other detail I'm aware of is that some of the very last one had a horrible looking plastic moulded top on the gear lever, not sure when that came in though.

Was definitely a case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

Everything between the wheels remained unchanged on the heavier version way longer....the nose and tail got updated and it got a new instrument panel...but the van was still basically unchanged!

Yeah, I took it an hour or so before posting on here. They're living near the Surrey/Hampshire border.

The Omega on the right is normally parked there. Probably shouldn’t move at all since it’s MOT expired a while ago. Now a doppelgänger has appeared. C5A9F43F-C9BF-4967-87DD-FA7846F33CED.jpeg.5c94655719fddf9efb4477939e29361f.jpeg

Just followed a lovely cream W123 Merc most of the way from Buckingham to MK.  Definitely need to own one of those one day...

I saw this on the road on Saturday evening, the Land Rover at the back of the train on that A-frame, with a guy sitting on it's bonnet.

Dunno if this is in the spirit of this thread, but I collected a car from Hondas press fleet this week and spotted this beauty in the corner, with original advert and test pics.

A shite photo of a shite car. I'll try and get a better one when I'm in a bit less of a hurry. If you really can't wait though it was a P reg Charisma saloon
