Wow! Ok! He actually bibbed me as I turned off (I was in my Mk1 Uno), & there was a purple TVR behind him as well.

.... Left hand drive and with mystery plates - anyone able to identify where it might be from?

Belgium, Finland, Hungary, Sweden, Latvia, Malta (RHD) and Cyprus (RHD) all use "XXX nnn" format plates, so could be any one of those. Possibly also Greece.

No record of it on DVLA, so may* not be from here...

This is another local to me daily drive....Sri too 🙂

Champagne socialist misery in Hampstead. And an Indian-built death trap.

Romsey. 

Very Romsey.

Saw these yesterday:

Missed out on snapping a mint MK3 Escort Ghia ( I believe it went to FOTU) Citroen BX GTi and an NSU Ro80. Fail.

Anyway, I went on a bike ride earlier and came across this:

But theres more...

Must be the most brave/ stupid person in my town. He also has some other yank in the garage.

Just spotted this rather lovely Riley Pathfinder parked up round the corner from me.

[Quintus]

Just remembered I snapped these when my wife and I were in Devon a few weeks ago. I'd spotted the BX when we stayed in the area a couple of years before and didn't take a pic, so was determined to capture it this time.

[Quintus]

Forgot about this too. Probably my favourite spot from the last few months. It honestly looked mint.

[maxxo]

does this count? certainly a weird spot

went out for a fag break at work

glanced at the cars parked out there, and saw this toyota pickup

glanced again

then had a WTF moment

so, australian plates, in middlesbrough

interesting

like proper dealer plates

quite enjoyed seeing that if i'm being honest

[High Jetter]

Brough? Probably nicked

[Schaefft]

Don't spot these every day but someone close to our Airbnb owns a corvair van and 2 other mysterious cars under tarps.

The dealer plate looks like it says Illawarra Toyota, which is my neck of the woods!

Spotted on a local driveway

A slightly less local driveway

Outside the local motor factors, he's a serial offender

This has turned up outside a customer's shop quite a lot lately.

[Soundwave]

Spotted on my street - a slightly plusher version of @RoadworkUK's fine machine!

[straightSix]

Seen this zx a few times and finally got a photo next to it

If it was a 3-door I'd be asking you to steal the seats.

Frilly Golf round the corner from me:

 

Then in Preston I let out a little squeal of excitement at this...!

[MikeR]

N reg and still on the road , however thats not unusual around here ...

[Schaefft]

Im currently in Germany visiting parents. They decided to take a "shortcut" which enabled me to take some photos of some of the more interesting stuff you can still find in traffic every single day from the backseat. Especially early to mid 90s Mazdas which sold here very well are still a relatively common sight. Golf Mk2/3, Mk2 Polos and Audi 80s are still everywhere as well, not even taking photos of them anymore. At this point I think Dodge Rams are more popular than a large chunk of the car that were actually sold here officially, you see multiple of them every single day.

Convertible could be an XR3 if the number plate is to be believed, that Caprice and 626 Coupe with questionable mods are the more interesting spots.

Well yesterday led me down a bit of a rabbit hole:

I went into this modern-ish housing estate to turn around and saw this: a 205 XRAD van...

...then I spotted another interesting, and much sadder looking, van - this time a Vauxhall Combo. And in trying to take a photo of this one I found something that Autoshite was made for...

Apparently this was last on the road in 1993 - and boy does it look it. Absolutely love that this still survives.

These thankfully also still survive. I approve of the Coventry registered 405, complete with 'Peugeot' branded plates - maybe it was registered straight from the factory?

Then a Dollar-might...

...and a rather late Austin 2200 Automatic. Whilst they were pretty advanced for their day, I can imagine these feeling rather dated compared to that Maxi.

A Toyota... thing.

A... yeah, I've got absolutely no clue. Sierra?

A first generation Capri in a hedge

And finally a driveway of three Granadas (plus a KA that's blocking them). The green one is a pickup would you believe - didn't actually know they did those!
