Yoss Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I assume the Punto was abandoned in the layby when somebody realised it was just easier to walk. Aston Martin and Amishtat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) No, I've seen it around for a while but not had the chance to get a picture before. Can't be arsed to look up when they came out here but that's the oldest I've seen in ages. Despite being an Essex native I misspent my college years in Coventry so I like it a little more for having a Coventry plate too.

Yoss Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Didn't know that was a Coventry plate. The only Coventry regs I know are KV and VC as that's what all the Triumph prototype/publicity cars were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 RW and HP too, they appear in a lot of Rootes archive photos. Saw this earlier and secretly like it a bit. sutty2006, BL Bloke, danthecapriman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Spotted this outside a garage. I was making a delivery next door so thought I'd get a photo. egg, 500tops and worldofceri 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The owner of said garage noticed me taking photo's of the carina and asked me if id like to see his old volvo he'd acquired. I must admit i'd never seen one of these before, its had one previous owner and was purchased in 1982. The owner says it will be restored.

Yoss Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Here's a few more from Munich and the surrounding area from the last couple of days (got home this morning). The Merc had a bodyside that looked liked it was made of crisp packets and hand painted matt silver. These were in Mittenwald near the Austrian border. Lovely place, took the train from Munich, a trip I can fully recommend. We're 3000ft above sea level here and still the mountains tower over the place. This looks standard but the rear wheels are wider and with a bit of camber. Subtle. The two door Land Cruiser must be a bit of a rarity too. Mobile home? This was buzzing round the town, saw it a couple of times. but I love this:The woman was trying to help her husband get this barge (not even sure what it is - new Omega?) into the same size space the 500 was in. The contrast is fabulous isn't it? worldofceri, danthecapriman, jumpingjehovahs and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddlethumper Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 A few I've seen lately. Didn't get one of a D reg maroon Scrote estate that came alongside at the lights and asked what mine was. Nice bit of gafferage on the Merc and I never knew there was a Toyota Voxy. worldofceri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asimo Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Nice shape, the first A4, looking good here as a 1.6 basic and an actual colour. The Acclaim was at a horse show in Abergavenny, last owner 14 years, and it was a real credit to him too. In CD spec with Triomatic ( a 3 speed + torque converter autobox that cannot change gear itself, the driver has to make all the decisions about which ratio to use.)

Asimo Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Not like an Ro80 ( or a C-Matic Citroen) at all actually. Downstream of it's torque converter the NSU has a clutch and conventional 3 speed manual gearbox but the HondaMatic / Triomatic has all the makings of a true autobox, selecting the ratios with solenoid operated valves operating various clutch packs just like Honda's full automatic transmissions. The gear selector is just a numb T bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
