A Parked P-reg Popped-top Possibly Pogweazled Patchy Purple Previa if you want to be alliterative about it.

Rot in Peace .....

still there when I went past today ...

[J R Hartley]

From the days before Audis were chosen by the more assertive motorist.

 

[Andrew353w]

I spotted this today in..... Potters Bar! 

[Back_For_More]

New Addington presents - the DRAGON BUS - apparently on Arsebook if you want to look for it/them......

 

 

[Back_For_More]

Traveller site nearby and the old guy on there has these - I missed the White FORD - will get it when I pass later. He was a decent guy and happy someone was interested in the old girls..... He's put a lot of work into them.....

This is almost finished

and this is on site carthorse duties but the handbrake recently gave out

and one of the larger bits of detritus cost him the rear tyre on this one - new tyres were piled up outside his shed awaiting fitting

it had a HUGE slab of marble in the back too - with other building detritus. They all earn their keep for sure.

Will pap the white Ford when I get by again

A Mk4 Escort still providing stellar service as a family car in 2022, whoda' thunk it:

[Datsuncog]

Seen coming out of Belfast Harbour last weekend...

Some high-end Sapphires.

Also, got a slightly better pic of the Fiesta Turbo at the end of the street.

Says it's only been out of MOT since November, surprisingly.

The rampant bootlid rust suggests things are less than fantastic below the surface...

[The Vicar]

Love the badging on that gold Sierra....nearly half the length of the boot lid!

[Datsuncog]

lt's hard to make out, but I think it says 'Sierra 2.0i GLS' - just as well the 'Sapphire' badging is so small and below, otherwise it might have had to go right round the side...

Corrola KE70 spotted today.

It's a recent import from Sri Lanka and a rough old dog with thick filler on just about every panel and a strange bulging front edge to the roof where the screen fits. 

And this was next to it.

Crushed nuts anyone ?

[High Jetter]

KE 2spoiler? 🤣 Love the CF tho

OK - a few more - including the Old White Ford.....

EDIT - just noticed I caught his old Merc in the background - it's mint - I'll get a shot of it asap too

 

with a 306 looking dead n buried

and this in use - number plate sad BAD - it most definitely is - more like sodding AWFUL

 

 

[Back_For_More]

then a shonker around the corner saved the day - daily rough as the proverbial badgers choc starfish

His project sitting looking a bit rough in front of the living room - what a view!

and the 5yr replacement requirement chassis up against the garden wall

 

 

 

there's a monstrous thing in a garden over t'other side of tracks - I'll head that way soon I think - looks promising

[MiniMort]

Not often you see one of these outside of a show…

…and this was a few cars down from it.

[500tops]

A few from today's 'Plymouth Motor Show'

[AnnoyingPentium]

And half an Ovlov.

[500tops]

[Jack D]

1.3, not sure on spec.  Dealer fit sunroof, 29,000 miles. 
 

Always thought the glass on these 145s was peculiar.  Three separate pieces on that rear three quarter panel. 

[Back_For_More]

almost forgot the garden of horrors...... Ford Transit box van in its death throws - the caravan sans wheels and the Range Rover that is up on axle stands........ proper class in the grass

 

although these may qualify as dumped - to be fair

[J R Hartley]

[Zelandeth]

Not something you see every day any more.

...Not totally sure why the owner seems to have chosen the number plate style and position to block as much surface area of the intercooler as possible...

What is wrong with the Avenger owner? Have they never seen Starsky and Hutch?

[Quintus]

Spotted these two in Devon (Postbridge to be precise). I Googled how to decipher German numberplates and wonder if they might be examples of German vanity plates, which are apparently available for a small fee.

Seems a coincidence that the 350SL has the same number on the plate and the silver one has 560. However, if the silver car is a 560SL then it's an import as the 560 was apparently only sold in the USA, Canada, Japan and Australia.

The 1st 2 letters are the  regional definition - so Wu iirc is Wurzburg....... NF is North Friesland.......

More craptatic from Addington area.....

Brick Handbrake a favourite around here - Passat sat for a long time

and the van owner has a LWB version - perhaps keeping this for spares?

and the VW recently ended up in the air

with the Shogun on the drive blocked in by it - I left a note on the Pajero/Shogun - see if they bite

The tarp'd thing I thought was a Merc has RR as in Royce - hubcaps - but photo messed up - will pap later - although mostly tarp so not much to see.

T4 not come out too - both yesterday afternoon - so it was me I suppose.

More later.......
