Where'd you spot that? Looks like the one I used to see around West Berks a lot, which disappeared a couple of years ago.

Winchester Broadway.

Yes, it's a crappy picture.

 

No, taking the picture while driving probably wasn't wise.

 

 

 

 

But it's an early XJ300 with a roof box goddammit!!!!

On the way into work yesterday, nearly got rear ended by a LCW on a Boardman road bike when I did an emergency stop in a busy cycle lane in central Norwich after spotting this.  He asked WTF I was doing - I just pointed.  He gave me a bewildered / pitying look and minced off.

Gino? He? It's a sodding Van....

 

Other then that very nice. Really like the Topolino

Spotted this today - I think this is the first saloon I've seen on the road, although there are a couple of hatchbacks in circulation round these parts.  Almost certainly giffer owned.

A few random spots from recent travels

 

Very tidy looking Wartburg outside the French Church of Friedrichstadt in Berlin

Nice looking 144 in a car yard in Warsaw

UK registered Royce in the same car yard in Warsaw

Soviet era Nisa van in Warsaw, design reputedly inspired by VW T1 van in the late '50s and continued in production until the mid '90s. Not sure where the VW inspiration is other than VAN, as it is front engined and box shaped more like a Transit than a VW. Did a good job of ferrying us around a multitude of establishments where we could drink Vodka though. Was petrol engined (that was running rich) but had a diesel heater to keep the prisoners/occupants warm though.

Mk2 Escort for the Blue oval botherers, somewhere near Christchurch NZ can't remember where. Don't really think a 1.3 needs that much zorst, still want though.

Not really Autoshite but somebody's dream day out went tits up - TVR Tuscan I think (Could be a late Grantura or Griffith) at Whitby Abbey

Found this lost photo the other day and playing with a new scanner today !

not really a spot, my late sister at home looking very pleased with life.

The garage door hid a 1970 Mercedes 220, 1951 Armstrong Siddley Whitworth?, 1956 Morris Oxford and the daily Holden Commodore.

I was at Crail today. It was apparently a Banzai event, so the usual barried Japanese tat was there, but I also spotted a couple of little sweeties.

Now for the aforementioned tat.

Admittedly, that Yaris was very tidy and very well done, but still... why?

 

Now, photos can't seem to convey just how awful the car below was, but here you go anyway:

We really need some flyers. How is this bloke ( or bird) not on here?

Wow! Has that 3 door got a Sapphire bonnet and grille? Judging by the lack of passenger dash cubby and the spoiler it could be an XR4i or GT whatever they called late Twin Cam sporty models in Spain.

Spotted this beauty in sunny* Rhyl yesterday.

Mot history only goes back 3 years, all of which it failed but not on welding surprisingly.

That looks like some c.1974 boat building apprentice decided to make his tired old Scimitar coupe look like one o'them posh new estate versions like that Princess Anne got caught speeding in.

What appears to be just another picture of a Supermirafiori Volumetrico being towed by black Range Rover LSE. Normal Tuesday morning on the M25.

Don't recall The Deadwood Stage special edition Carina.

Both sides and hand painted obviously.

The transverse leaf added to the Mk2, made them much more stable when towing your caravan.

 

Look how small it is in a Tesco parking space.
