Would this be next to the M1 bridge in Mill Hill, off Bunns Lane? It look like "les Gengarmes" are close on its tail, as well.......

Looks like behind Apex to me.

I've had mine for about 10 months and this is the first Mk1 CRV  apart from my own I've seen in the wild.
Must say I like the colour, close to Fiat's Exploit yellow.

Saw a 1964 Cadillac last night in Edinburgh.
Not the normal type of vehicle to expect in a McDonald's car park late of an evening.

Judging by the grille adornment I wonder if it is owned by a bin lorry driver?!

I saw this yesterday in a garden in Northampton @grogee I believe this is your Manor. Last weekend I saw a lovely mk2 facelift strato silver Granada Ghia driving through Kingsthope but no picture.

On Saturday I saw a lovely S type Jag very similar colour and age to the mk 2 below on the seafront in Porthcawl only a few yards from where I recently saw the Vanden Plas Princess R.

Today I have seen two mk1 Escorts with bubble arches on driveways of houses near where I live within 2 miles of each other and also a mk2 4 door Escort outside a garage nearby, no pictures sorry.

Enjoyed the irony of the backdrop here...(and a bloody rare sight now)

In Reading this morning - spotted this Buick Riviera whilst collecting my Shonky Shogun (which has somehow passed another MOT!).

Don't think I've seen one before, even when visiting family in the US.

I do recall that some unkind reviewer said they were styled like a suppository, which he reckoned wasn't unusual since they were bought by the elderly who would be used to the shape!

Not a fan of these in light blue but they are excellent comfortable cars with longevity and good performance with the supercharged 3800. Same platform as my Auroras, just without the 4cam V8. But yeah, Series 2 3800SC is an excellent engine. GM sold the styling as Concept Car you can buy for once.

It's not obvious in that shot, but following it on the straight I could see a definate lean to the left.

Uh, fail. The lean was to the offside. Pass the Duchy...

Futureshite, future classic or something in the future for @Schaefft ?

An S80 4.4 V8 in a goldy beige, which covered 18k between its last two MOTs and is up around the 145k mark.
