Not Yank but French. Would you believe there is a Renault Trafic under there?

I wouldn't! I knew there were WB bodies on Trafics/Ducatos etc, but this one I thought looked especially American and might have been an import, especially with it being LHD etc. I've certainly never seen one before anyway.

It's a LeSharo. They were built for the North American market on LHD Trafic chassis-cabs imported from France and disguised with all that plastic cladding. This was at the time Renault had a presence in the US through its partnership with AMC.

Early ones had a 57bhp non-turbo diesel and 4-speed box so I'm surprised they could even drag themselves around. At least they didn't use the 1.4 petrol from the R5 that some European Trafics got.

Back from collecting the cat from the cattery where she spent Christmas, and this is the view of the man (and I will bet my house and all its contents that it is a single, 60-something man who permanently wears a string vest and trousers held up with binder-twine) next door's half of the shared driveway

Heroic stuff

Well, they say it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good...

Who knew this manky MkIV Cortina Ghia was living under a tarp just around the corner from the Cogparents?

Not me, that's for sure. Until last night's storm blew its cover, quite literally.

'Ziebart Protected' sticker at the top of the rear screen gives some indication of how it's managed to survive way longer than FoMoCo ever intended...

Arches look ok, tidemark sills a little less ok, but ooft that A-pillar.

Yeah.

That's pretty frilly. I shudder to think how the inner arches are faring, though the very low nearside front might be a sign of Bad Things.

Currently on SORN, but who knows what its future might hold?

Spotted in a garden centre / old man clothes shop ( obviously) 

A bit crusty at the bottom but looked very nice from a distance

Plate rape would be my first instinct.

Snap , papped this one back in June, 

The inside looks like everyday is a tip-run day , but it is always the same shite

Poor old Picasso seems quite static now. Not moved for ages. Don’t even think it can now. Still full of crap. No parking tickets though.

I wonder if this Corolla is the owner’s new means of transport.

this Hunter was enjoying premium parking in Ealing yesterday. Is it a Paykan? Very nice anyway.

I’d be reasonably sure I saw this very car in wales about 2 days before Christmas

In the same road about 50yards apart.

Spotted this tidy Volvo 480 today

[BerginJR]

Came into work recently. Pre standardisation alvis likely 1920s ish possibly. Very unique vehicle with mother in law seat in the rear.

A few from a quick trip to Dublin this week. Particularly pleased with the Fiat
