Lazy spotters thread

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.

This 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!

We have the obligatory festival van, here at the BBC Biggest Weekend:

And also, here's a Renault Twingo in a church car park:

It's always parked there, so not exactly difficult to spot, and the location is very well known anyway.

A pristine example of a white FTO - M-reg. in B&M Bargains car park - no photo as I left all the cameras at home

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.

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..

 

 

 

 

Squirrel2 - spotter.

Been meaning to get this one for a while, pleased /surprised it's still there

A little further down the same road

Not really posted on this for a while really. Bit of an update on recent activities

 

At the seaside in Silloth

 

 

 

 

Stuck in traffic in Leeds.

 

 

Distant Fiesta

 

 

Tasty 205

At the MOT test station something caught my eye:

 

 

 

Looks like there were 2 v8's in the garage that day.

 

This has been owned by the owner of the garage I was at for about 20 years.

Bridgford today

 

 

Leeds last weekend (It's the Brudenell food van!)

 

 

 

Norfolk last Friday

 

 

 

Two very sweet Frenchies under my brother's apartment block in Belfast.  The AX is TEH SEX.

 

 

 

These are my slippers.

 

 

Good night shitey boyz!

That K reg Mondeo was bought in June 2009 and never had an MOT test since, last one expired in May 2010.  Didn't fail, just wasn't tested again.

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...

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

Bloomsbury.

 

 

One’s too many, ten’s not enough!

[Yoss]

Look very carefully.

On the way back from Brodie Engineering, I stumbled across this pair:

 

 

Now tell me: when was the last time you saw a Bluebird and Stanza together?

 

 

[Amishtat]

Earliest one I've seen for a while

The best colour

A curiously unappetising prospect.

[Amishtat]

Probably a nice car before DRIFTYO got it

Triple shite

That does look like a ARO, thought it looked familiar. Cheers.
