Down the road from the in-laws house, I’m slightly worried about this one because I’ve towed with a sapphire on a proper trailer with a mondeo and that ended up in tears. This single axle trailer looks like an old caravan chassis.

1.6 LX. Looks like a barn find.

Could also go in the late registration madness thread but you do actually see a few late registered MGR group cars. I guess it took a while to sell all the unsold stock off.

Saw this Regal t'other week. That's a respectably sized bonnet scoop, wonder if it's off a Grand National/GNX?

How lazy is a spot when someone turns up to you in it? 🤣

A buyer for some aircraft bits arrived at my barn today in this glorious shite, a Saffer import Cortina Ute. All original, with no underseal it doesn't go out in the rain! Luckily for him the roads were dry today

Is that a license made Rascal or is it Mitsubishi's own minivan?

That’s an L300 , I think and much bigger than a Rascal. Almost Transit, Sherpa size and quite popular in the early 80’s.

Came across this on my delivery.

It's parked in one of the shittiest back alleys in Shirley, of which there are many. It's just behind the BMW you can see here. It looks bad and stinks of various take aways as it's behind the shops.

Anyway I could tell it was a Fiat 126 and closer inspection around the edges suggested it might be nice and shiny.

So I googled it, as you do, and came up with this .

It's left hand drive so probably is from Poland. Also when I looked up the MOT history it said it was beige so I also found this which I think is also in Shirley. Have to say it looks better now. Not for the colour change but for losing the worst wheels I have ever seen and the pineapple roofrack.
