Must be 30 years since I’ve seen one of these, local Aberdeen registration too

Popped along to the Motorist in Sherburn today. I think it was some sort of performance gathering because there were myriad supercars and bad boy Leon FRs there but these were my faves. Featuring THAT Dodge van.

Didn’t know you could get a 2.0L Cortina Mk V. I thought the 2 litre ( Pinto?) engine was only available on GL, S and Ghia spec.

First some terrible photos from me.

Datsun Bluebird, not seen a Datsun in the wild for years.

Then 20 minutes later I saw this Sunny on the far side of a canal.

 

Gorgeous Imp Miss C spotted earlier

And a long range TR8 she saw.

Was going to raise the same question myself. I’m pretty sure you’re correct. Guess it’s a home made upgrade, seats look like 1982 model too.

... And because @Six-cylinder says I don't take enough photos when I see him out and about, here's a man in an Ami.

@Six-cylinder Nice Ami btw, I didn't know you had one.

Recent, I have only had it a month. It is going to replace my 2CV that I have had for the last 7 years.

I bet getting stuck in traffic in that thing is far from a pleasant experience.

Yes, this has been modified, I believe it started off as a 1.6L with red interior if it is the car I think it is. It was rebuilt and used for the 2012 Cortina’s to Cortina run and had the 82 model grey GL seats in then, I think it has changed hands at least once since then but apart from the badge looks the same as when Jim had it.

Seen on the FSO group on Faceache.

Was this yours @eddyramrod

[eddyramrod]

Nah, mine wasn't that new.  C246 MFV, and it's long gone anyway.

HU on the reg - must be from the same bit as my Granda's Punto. His was KHU tho, so 'Keep Hands Up' allegedly. 😆

LHD Fiesta papped in Brentwood.

Seeing the E30 Touring in the for sale thread reminded me of these two that I saw recently, forgot to go back with the camera so apologies for the Streetview screenshot. The immaculate Capri was a few doors further down.

Rover 95 looking cool amongst the Maseratis, Mercs and Porches of Notting Hill this morning.

Best colour in black with a tan interior and a shape that looks good still amongst the moderns. NH is always good for a few nice old cars.

I didn't see Hugh Grant - but somebody was discussing Nigella Lawson's new house when I had coffee...😂

Whilst we currently have four cars one has to park in the road. Whilst blue Fav was out the weird neighbours parked their N reg Lantra next to it. 

I like to think that between us we are lowering the property values round here.

I was driving the van earlier and saw an Allegro so got the lad I was working with to get a shot.

 

Then ended up parked right next to it at the petrol pumps.  It's his pride and joy and has only done 18k.  I managed not to say anything about the plates.

Also saw this Riley
