This Nexia I was told about by a fantastic friend, a Streetview find. I went on a little 20 mile jaunt to Hounslow expressly to find it, and as it turns out, Hounslow is STUPIDLY rich in shite cars.

 

I left a note on the rear windshield and later that evening I received a call from the lovely owner, and we had a nice little chat about it.

 

Bonus 106 that's not been on the road since at least 2005.

Two from my holiday weekend at Scarborough.

 

One slightly fuzzy Mk IV Escort...

Sorry for the camera shake, trying to wrangle an excited husky and take photos at the same time is hard.

 

From a bit later, the sole interesting vehicle to drive into the caravan park the whole weekend.

Never been in an Express, would be curious to have a shot driving one.

 

Coachwork isn't by a maker I can identify by sight, lacks the flair of the body on my Merc I think, but nevertheless looks in good nick for the age.

 

Sorry, couldn't get a shot from the front due to the proximity of the kids play area, and I wasn't about to go and start snapping photos in that direction.

Penge - S. London. This A4O Somerset had a new modern interior- so maybe some engine mods too. Just parked casually at the roadside. As cars have got bigger and taller this is now about the size of a Nissan Micra. The photo is a bit flattering - its hand-painted. Nice old thing.

Giffer-tastic Volvo 440, with what looks like some serious bodgery to the back arch.

 

The faded black plastic bits looked like they'd also been recently refreshed with a pot of black Smoothrite and a hairy brush, so I'm gonna guess that achieving a concours finish wasn't uppermost in the owner's thoughts...

 

Freshly MOT'd, mind...
