Badly pap'd this last night - thinking - "There's an old thing" then realised I'd sat in summat from the exact same year:

Proper giffer spec Volvo spotted earlier and a Suzuki SJ?

April 23

A few from my trip to Czechia/Slovakia last week. I think most of the eastern block stuff dissapeared a good decade ago, about as fast as the sills on about half the cars in Slovakia.

The Trabi looked like it was being driven by the original owner.

There must have been a Yank meet going on. Got a very enthusiatic greeting from a guy in some kind on 70s barge around Liberec.

Only a few of the rear engined Skodas still around.

No one will notice.

One of very few Matiz seen - Part of a silly competition, hence BL's finest also making an appearance.

Xantia and Golf were both part of the group. Only one needed some mechanical attention.

There's a few Felicias hanging on.

The TT looked to be a UK import. Not sure if the paint fell off before or after it came over.

Finally, a lovely 205 D turbo, clearly just being used as a car.

Saw this on the motorway earlier, I think it was an Aston Martin badge, but not 100% sure?

It’s a Morgan. Aero8 ? Badge is similar to AM.

Just found out they did a Morgan Midsummer. They stopped making them as too many owners were being murdered!

(Actually would have been a good car for the new Bergerac series).

Ah thanks, that makes sense. Aston's seem to look very modern at the mo, this looked new but more retro, the Morgan makes sense.

It is a Morgan Midsummer, the Aero 8 has been out of production for a while.

100 yards from my house, parked in a garden. I've only noticed it after living here for five years...
