@Burnside - isn’t that your Fiat?

It was, but now resides with The Old Bloke Next Door.

We sold it just over a year ago via AS as sadly needed a bigger Van. Although was kindly offered the option of 1st refusal, if it comes up for sale again.

Which mean's alot as my Dad's owned it from New. Great to see it still going strong.

Looks like it could do with a wash though!

Those spaces are so small even a Jag needs 4 of them ?

That's special. That's old money parking that is.

Been a while since I saw one of these.

For all I seem to recall the motoring press at the time basically going "why does this car even exist?!?" We never had any trouble shifting them at the garage, and we had a few of them through.  Shame it's not yellow though.

I couldn't find a name or even a number on it anywhere. I'm left wondering how on earth it ended up there - on a slate tip in a quarry at 1400ft above sea level a mile from the nearest road.

I think it's a Mk 1 Zephyr/Zodiac.  Struts, so almost certainly Ford, and engine, master cylinders, overriders, and a few other bits look right.

I've seen some interesting that over the last few days.  I saw this on a walk just before it's blue ovaled equivalent.

look closer, there are two Fiestas.

On the way back I stopped at the supermarket and got back to find that my girlfriend had stopped the owner of this lovely 240 for a chat so I'd see it before he left.  He's got a couple of Triumphs too and has been directed here.

Today's trek out saw this hoard, I'm fairly sure the purple 144 was at the big field auction a few months ago having just watched the Smith and Sniff video of it.

Also this - I definitely* need to buy another fucked early '70s Volvo rather than fixing the one I've already got.

Firstly fuck Lincolnshire.

 

I was in the sticks delivering to a new build.... Key worker? New build?

 

Anyway, one house had 15 minis, an sd1 and a montego. Across the road a Nova in bits, same road two Freelander 1's on the drive.... Same road, one house with a Monaro and an MG3. How does that work? "Hi, love. Listen I'm getting myself a monster V8. Would you like a crummy mg?"

 

North of Boston is the top find. I'm behind a Fezza and I think, it can't be? I get closer, fuck me it is. A Fezza 1.6S. ?
