Baja bug with brilliant graphics, you can't get much better than a sunset scene with palm trees and camel silhouettes. 

Back shot 

Bonus wafting RR.

 I do like a Mustang II. Has someone paneled over the back side windows or did they come like that?

I particularly liked the Harry Moss alarm ultrasonics stuck to the top of the dash...

 Yeah, they should have a small side window with that roof profile...

 

 

 

The one in my pic is a Ghia with vinyl half roof but you get the idea.... 

 

Nice Farina-driver's view in your pics, too!

Visited the Pembrokeshire Classic Car Club show at the weekend, nearly 600 vehicles on show; here is a selection picked from amongst the ranks of over-restored MGBs...

 

 

 

Gilbern - Made in Wales. Glassfibre body, MGB mechanicals

 

 

 

Series 1 from 1949. Unrestored and with local Pembs. plate - how did it survive like this for so long!?

 

 

 

Viva HA. How did this survive in salty Pembs. air?

 

 

 

For when one Rover 75 is not enough...

 

940 pretending to be a T5

 

It was huffing and snorting like a beast despite appearing to have recently shat it's coolant.. didn't get to speak to the owner. 'Q' car or drift?

 

My favourite car at the show; 1929 Lea-Francis P 12/40... lovely!

 

 

This is a regular at the Pembs shows, owner/driver is just as elderly.

 

My 101 didn't win any prizes but the Daimler Ferret did..

This unloved 75 tourer is MOT'ed and taxed.... It was dumped under a lampost at the roadside for months earlier on this year, It just gets shifted about to help allude to some sort of actual human presence in that big old house.

[Amishtat]

With a nicely-executed if largely pointless pickup conversion.

Dormant 3500S

Presumably a camper for wannabe hipsters

[AlabamaShrimp]

^^has some knob put H van bits on something else?

 

Edit. Big square dash. Is this a Talbot?

[Amishtat]

I think so, I'll try and get it from a better angle some time

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I was fantadkstically excited to see this one this morning:

[Guest Conan]

 

This is more than a spotting. I actually went to take a look as it was for sale. 1997 Peugeot 405 Mi16, one of the last ever to be produced. About the nicest 405 Mi16 you'll find not already in some collectors garage never to be driven spiritedly again. I kinda wanted it. Alas, it wasn't to be.

[chodweaver]

This made me realise what a rare sight these things are nowadays. Definitely pensionable occupants kindly granted me this pic before they drove off with their fresh supplies of prescription medicines and wicker picnic basket to a leisurely lunch in the countryside, before popping this beauty back in its garage before it rains...

 

[Amishtat]

Both at the zoo, appropriately enough for endangered species.

But this seemed to be happily roaming free

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Yesterday in Gravesend:

 

2.0 Ghia.  I was absolutely thrilled.  Lady Grumpius was just shaking her head at my glee as usual...

 

[Dannyk]

Im new here so hi, here's some things i've seen

 

Cavalier gsi 16v, apperently been there 20 years plus

 

Knackered mini

 

And another

 

Bit better one 

 

Even better one

 

 

 

 

[Slartibartfast]

Does/did that Volvo belong to someone of this parish? It looks familiar.

[Amishtat]

In my defence there was nowhere to stop and I didn't know it was bin day

[Datsuncog]

Took a stroll up to the petrol station yesterday evening to get a bottle of milk.

 

 

Found this MZ with a delightfully homemade-looking sidecar/luggage loader/portable bath/cadaver storage unit (delete as applicable) sitting at the pumps.

 

Could have sworn the phone's camera clicked when I was standing right beside it, but owing to very strong low sunlight I couldn't see the screen. Only when I got into the shop did I realise the pic hadn't saved. Replacement pic taken from about 75yds away, so RUBBISH.

 

An oul fella with a pudding-bowl helmet and jacket covered in patches was buying baccy at the till, so I'm going to make a leap of judgement and connect the two.

 

 

Then on the way back, this combo drove past.

 

 

 

Judging by the welding to the bootlid and doors shuts, I'm going to guess this Sierra ain't being lovingly restored...

 

 

Whereas this clearly-loved late Sherpa Sport was parked up in Carrick the other evening, delightfully resplendent in gleaming BL Sewerage.

 

 

 

Finally, when down at Tatt's outside Dublin last weekend, you couldn't ask for more of a contrast.

 

 

 

G-Wagen was utterly mintola. Like, totally showroom fresh.

 

 

Hyundai Accent saloon was... probably functional.

 

 

 

Crikey Moses, what a colossally abused heap of shit.

 

 

'Gold' special edition too. Whatever that may denote.

 

Finally, there were a lot of these down at the horse trials. I never much liked them at the time and the passage of years hasn't helped much; I think I'm concerned because whenever I think about my own Subaru, a Santa Fe like this is the first image that swims unbidden to mind...

 

 

 

Hmmm.

[brandersnatch]

 

Soho double up.

 

 

One’s too many, ten’s not enough!

Doesn't the left-hand only sidecar rule apply in NI? That looks like an ETZ, which would make it post 1981. Is the image mirrored. Is the rider a tourist? Is it really an older TS250 with later tank and panels attached?

 

However, the "homemade-looking" device you describe though is definitely a factory original lastenseitenwagen
