Colchester Market this morning.

Nice Polish 126 in a car park in Embra. I’ve been to Poland a couple of times recently and the only 126s I remember seeing were model ones in the airport shop.

RENAULT SEVEN?!

After a navigational today in Olney we ended up in a back street, worth the detour when we found this BX16RE April 2019 MOT and Tax.

DKW F12, apparently. Never seen one before.

Every shade of beige.

 

 

With optional extra safety China dog device for in the event of a frontal impact. 

 

 

With that clumping you in the back of the noggin, you'll never remember you had an accident! Simple but effective.

[Sir Snipes]

 

Giffer owned, naturally.

And i've posted this before, but mate at work told me someone we know tried to buy it last week, bidded the owner upto £4000 (no idea why) but hed rather keep it and carry on using it as a shed. Bought in 2002 and sat since early 2005.

A really lazyish spot, but a really rare one. Who would have bothered to import a really cheap basic Chevvy compact from the 1980's into NZ. Well someone did bother and must be happy, it's Burnt Orange paint looked pristine. It was parked in a driveway not far from home, I should go back today to see if it is still there as no photo.

A Chevrolet Citation. (Wiki photo)

EDIT....Revisited the location with a camera, empty driveway .

 

An actual update on this :

Revisited the other day and the Chev was there but in the back yard.

Another pass yesterday and it was in front.

The result.

 

 

That plate is old, so a check was in order and it came back as.

1980 Chevrolet Citation 2.8 litre

Reg. in NZ December 1981 

Last recorded test 2016, 73439 miles (sample only, because i'm not paying for the info).

 

Further edit: the Merc is a 1985 280SE.. RM143 is the 6th plate it has worn.

RENAULT SEVEN?!

Yeap thats my old one

[louiepj]

Fluorescent orange is the new black

[jumpingjehovahs]

Couple of belters this morning, a Vel Satis looking as good as new, with a matching plate. I’m pretty sure they also owned an Espace but couldn’t get a shot with both in.

 

 

Followed by a B5 Passat that looks like Ecto1 from Ghostbusters. I’m sure I’ve posted about this one before but it eludes photos (which it’s done it’s best to do here to be fair)

My XM with Ami today in London. Did not get to meet the owner.

[Sir Snipes]

Shonky picture I know but it's only a flippin' body-kitted k10!

[Zelandeth]

No photo sadly as I was driving, but of all things I could have seen today there was only a bloody Trabant heading the opposite way along H5 in Milton Keynes today.  I was in the Lada and a significant amount of savings and flashing of headlights was exchanged.

 

Not something I've seen around here before.

[MorrisItalSLX]

I parked in good company today



A giffer owned Daimler Double Six no less!



And then I spotted this little stunner on the street



A Datsun Skyline C210!



Complete with giffer dings and walloped bumpers!

Both cars have their original number plates too!

[Joey spud]

Papped these this morning outside an unused railway arch in Strood.

Any idea what the saloon with the roof removed is ??

I thought A40 a first glance but its got a deep air scoop on the bonnet.

 

Edit. Looking again,the air scooped bonnet is too long for the car it's resting on so i'm still unsure what the car is and/or what the bonnet is off of.

 

[barrett]

Mk1 Cortina innit. Looks like a nasty bit of arson, there. Shame.

[Amishtat]

That's a Westminster bonnet I reckon. On a lighter note, I've seen this around a few times but never got a pic of it before. Earliest one I've seen for a long while now

[louiepj]

Anyone need a Porter for their luggage?
