Early (1980) air-cooled pickup:

Early air-cooled pickup, you say?

Anyone about to move house?

With LPG. The Bi-fuel badge under the 240 almost looks original. Could you buy them new like this?

Spotted this a bit back, don't think I've ever seen another.

Some Shite I picked out at Goodwood:

These two were rather fit - 

Gold plated Shite. Apparently the modern thing behind it is worth a bit? Not sure though - 

Haven't seen one of these before and I've no idea what it is as I didn't really look - a Fiat of some kind. Handsome beastie though - 

A Nova that wasn't on its roof at time of recording - 

And finally, a god tier automobile in my eyes - a 635CSI with manual box. It was minty mintola and had been in the family for 25 years. Utterly sensational -

That 635 above is an absolute beaut. A proper lottery win purchase for me.

That is a Series 1 E24, built on the platform of the E12 Five. They were built up to April 1982. The rustproofing of these early ones wasn't very good, so there aren't many UK-market ones left. I once stumbled across an open yard in Claygate which had a number of S1s and the earlier E9s just sitting there rotting. All gone now.

The front airdam / spoiler is not correct for the car; it's been taken from the later Series 2. To be strictly correct, the dam should be a plain moulding, with the front fogs (Hella) mounted on separate brackets in front of it.

Very lazy spot from my own street in Beltinge, Herne Bay. A magnificently shite 3 door Nissan Almera.

On the opposite side of the road in a neighbour's driveway is a completely hat stand camping trailer that I suspect has been modified from a fairground ride trailer, or something similar. Note the number plates match, but it looks like the trailer is a fair bit wider than the Almera. The end of the trailer with the number plate flips up to form an open air kitchen area. It's totally bonkers. I love it.
