angle Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 The Fiat is a recent arrival up the road from me, it means they have to park their Daf 33 on the street. They ought to be on here, really. mercrocker, Amishtat, Jon and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisItalSLX Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Here is something a bit special, a Mercedes Benz 450SEL Estate. Here is my rubbish photo: And some library pictures from the web: I had a quick chat with the owner, it is a Crayford conversion using the arse end of a Ford Granada. He has put quite a bit of work into it to get it back on the road, but it is majority original. Not the sort of thing you would expect to find on a quiet residential street in Nowra, I was only there to use the post box!

Yoss Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Interesting 'repair' . I can see both Philips and slotted self tappers and small bolts, or they could be those bolt headed self tappers. Makes you wonder what's underneath. Aston Martin and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatylight Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Few spots while out and about the last few days, some lovely motors, particularly like the 416Gti Tourer and the shonky Maestro..

HillmanImp Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Went to the Porsche garage today (got corrected by the receptionist that its actually "Porsche-a"). Loads of old Porsches there.

Inspector Morose Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Let's lower the tone slightly. How about a licence built early LandRover. On rails. Powered by a Deutz air cooled diesel.

beko1987 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Went on an Easter egg hunt in my dad's little village earlier, and saw some spots! The 405 looked lovely! Datsuncog, strangeangel, danthecapriman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Nice to see an example looking like its owner gives a shit . I liked these all the more after the similarly-hued example which just laughed at the Top Gear fuckwits' attempts to kill it. "That the best you got m8?

Pillock Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Went to the Great Central Railway today, for a diesel gala. Importantly, nothing to do with classic cars. These were in the carpark as I arrived. The Cavalier especially is quite a strong look for a daily driver! Had a police radio and radio handset installed too, although it didn't look like an original police car (surely they were using Senators, not Cav SRIs) jumpingjehovahs, strangeangel, michael t and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chodweaver Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 But this driveway-of-shame is my last offering for tonight. Rest assured that the level of mouldiness is most definitely as bad, if not worse than what you are imagining.
