Endless Mk2 Escorts and various less expected motahs like an old 80s Mercedes and an E30 at the Woodpecker Rally today. I didn’t see them in action but the refuelling point was next to my house so I saw/heard/smelt them going back and forth. The unsurfaced access road did result in all my stuff on the drive getting coated in dust.

Didn't even get time to get a pic, but spotted a Fiat 500 Giardianetta being towed on a trailer by a Saab 9000 Carlsson!

On a rarity scale of 1-10, where 1 is "common" and 10 "rare", this vehicle is an 11, without a doubt! I only ever seen one in the flesh, although I do have a "Motoring Which" report from January 1963, which said it was economical but slow, and uncomfortable, although the sliding roof was a great feature for summer days. The "suicide" doors, that were hinged at the rear were considered very dangerous, particularly as they kept flying open......
