Spotted over the weekend in 'appy "Ampstead. I've seen it here regularly and it never seems to move!

It still had a grille when I saw it in 2016.

2.5 v6 omega . Such a shame.

Bodywork looked very good, leather interior looked excellent. Who knows why it has been left to die !

I am not a Healey expert , but I suspect it is a Mk2 due to the proper side windows.

Not every day you spot a 125P in the Homebase car park!  Reckon there must be single figures of these left in the UK now. Minty as well. 

Yes, I did get so excited that I put my finger over the lens...

OMF3G7!!! I've died and gone to heaven! A REAL proper FSO; right hand drive, not a personal import and in good condition! Oh, and I'm loving that "70s orange"

Thanks for sharing!

Even still had the original dealer sticker in the back window - looks to have been bought new in Hatfield, Herts (not far from where I spotted it).

Hello again old friend.

Some other entries from the car park relevant to this thread probably too.

Papped in Dover yesterday.

With open pipes how fecking cool/loud is this.

Looking at the wear on the rear tyre I don't think the owner tilts it over in the bends though.

Come to Fife for a sunny Saturday afternoon dauner, cos it's 90s day, all day, every day. Of every week. Of every month. Until further notice.

There was an OAP polishing convention at the local Moss this morning when I was picking up some shizzle from Toolstation, so I wandered over for a look. 20220528_113002.thumb.jpg.8456b0ae0ac7a365b823ef825c6dade9.jpg

The far end was the most interesting by far.

However that all pales into insignificance compared to my drive down to Shipley just now. 

As I pulled out of a junction, I saw something boxier than normal out of the corner of my eye. 

I looked in my rear view mirror, is that a Suzuki SJ? No, dont think it is, what is it? 

Hold on IS THAT A MUTHA FUCKIN RICKMAN RANGER. 

20220528_163014.thumb.jpg.7b271d69baefbcb0de0b4ccb49387469.jpg

I do believe it is. Apologies for the shite photo and I know I shouldn't be using my phone when driving but it was a fucking Rickman Ranger. 

Imagine if I'd crashed? 

"How did the accident happen?" 

"I was using my phone" 

"Thats illegal son, you're for it" 

"But there was a Rickman Ranger behind me" 

"I mean, that maybe would be pretty incredible but come on, no there wasn't" 

"There was really... heres a ph.." 

"Don't lie to me son, In the back of the car, I'm also arresting you under suspicion of driving under the influence"

Pretty sure I've seen that too, I was similarly elated.

A couple of underwhelming ones from me here.
