Cheggers Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 A few snaps from the Port Solent Car meet this morning. Very good of them to arrange it on my walk home from the gym There was the usual selection of modern Nissans and old American pick-ups, but these caught my eye.

Asimo Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 A few favourites from Prescott yesterday.Not all Vauxhalls etc. Beautiful in Junkman "used & not restored" spec.. Hotchkiss. Perfect for a long drive to a good hotel. competitorsThis Fiat 500 has 1380 BMC A series/transaxle power and was blindingly quick. It's fascinating cars like this that make Hill Climbing so interesting. Just like a Dacia If you think after-market lights are better you are wrong Best rear indicators ever I'd like this for commuting Delightful Lancia Montreal, the Alfa V8. I'll take the yellow please, even with those awful wheels! adw1977, catsinthewelder, cros and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine demand for the SM was particularly high in NE Scotland at that time. LHD only would have put a fair few people off. URS 983K has an interesting MoT history - the most recent fail was in August last, and it also had a fail in 2015, 2012 and 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel2 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Spotted at a local military vehicle show in Pembrokeshire last weekend, a selection of what was on display... Rover 100, Morris Oxford and Standard Flying 12 with rather tenuous military connections: Series 3 109s. 'Fitted For Radio' (FFR) with 24V electrics. These two were both into service in 1984 and were some of the last petrol S3s made for the army. Defender 110 DPV replica although built from 'genuine' parts. These generally had V8 power but this one is unusual in being fitted with a 200Tdi engine. Russian Ural combination. Rebuilt from a pile of rusty scrap, apparently. Jeep and 24V FFR Lightweight. The Jeeps seem tiny when compared with the smallest 88" Land Rover. Bikes... sorry, not a Squirrel speciality..

HillmanImp Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 At the MOT test station something caught my eye: Looks like there were 2 v8's in the garage that day.

Vin Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I couldn't really work out where to ask a question like this, so I thought here would be as good a thread as any.... It's not a spot by me, but is a 'flickr' spot whilst trawling through albums of anonymous photos... Does anyone know what the white van is on the left. I've established the white vehicle on the left is a Toyota Land Cruiser (J50), but I've drawn a blank with the other... img043 by foundin_a_attic, on Flickrimg061 by foundin_a_attic, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Could it be either an ARO from Romania or the later Portuguese Portaro version? Being a van would make it an ARO 243 according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARO_24_Series Vin, Asimo and NorfolkNWeigh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
