mercrocker Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Went to a vintage thingy today out near Warminster. Quite a few cars there but all tightly packed and surrounded by sandwich-chomping owners so I didn't bother taking many pics. This was flippin' brilliant, pre-war MG K1 Tourer, complete with University Motors registration and untouched for the 60 years the fella has owned it for after dragging it out of a nettlebed..... There were lots of Imps and other little devils, caused chaos on the way in as they tried to marshal themselves to drive down to the show area together and half of them seemed very reluctant to do a hot re-start. Most of 'em had buggered off by the time I took this nice little Stiletto... And I couldn't leave without getting this one.....

NorfolkNWeigh Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I'm in Mercrocker country at the moment. Staying in a cottage in Ashurst and the roads are nearly as full of shiny classics as they are of VW T4 and T5 vans. Lost count of the number of MG and Triumphs I've seen, plenty of Jags Porsche and Ferraris too.Best car I've seen is a scruffy grey E-Type roadster ( 4.2 , I think) rust patches visible all over and running a bit rich, the old boy driving suited it down to a tee, a bit wind swept and sort of posh scruffy. A nice Coupe and Spyder Maserati Mistral pair in Meridien surrounded by vulgar modern stuff- mostly the diesel SUV things. Maybe when it's not a baking hot weekend, there aren't quite as many old cars around . Laseraligningfoofooflanges and mercrocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....

Squirrel2 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 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.. Squirrel2 Paul Dupart, danthecapriman, mercrocker and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Conan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 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 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 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...
