Went to Hailsham the other day and found an old corsa in pretty good condition with giffer krooklok 

Then a crusty Merc with giffer aerial with bonus gaffa tape for improved radio reception

Nice example ! Wonder if the pop-ups both work

Unusual to see a towbar fitted to one of these as well.

Found this in Edinburgh the other day. The density of cool/interesting cars in this city is off the limits (compared to Newcastle anyway), I will start uploading all of them on my Flickr account over the next few days. There are many!

Shameless self-promotion

I'd like to see that trying to haul a single horse trailer....

Same colour as my T25... actually looks less rusty though!

Full of character.

My neighbours opposite briefly owned two of the things, one navy blue, the other metallic light blue. The navy one was a bit rotten,  so they salvaged its bonnet lid and fitted that to the metallic one. I really should post a photo of it on the mismatched panel thread.....

These 2 belong to a discerning gent,who lives in our street.

 

The Toyota parked next to me yesterday,even comes with a stoplock..

Forgot how lovely these sound

Ahh the good old 8.2 V8, built before America cared about the polar bears. Smiles bet gallon in one of them!

The extravagance. America still doesn't really care about polar bears; that's the job of the Canadians.

What's going on here? 

Wierd front and entirely numerical number plate.

Number plate is Algerian and some mention of front end being from Khan designs

Apparently they are around 595lb dry weight.

Approximately 2.94 fiesta 1.25 zetec-se engines or one 1982 Honda Goldwing GL1100

Spotted this today, I haven't seen one for ages!  Always liked the rear lights on them.

Nice little Polo Coupe spotted in Buckingham yesterday.

Nice to see one not lowered and fitted with 29" wheels...

I had a 86C Polo just like that - my first car (that I had to myself).  It stayed pretty original, because I couldn't see the need to 'improve' it

[CaptainBoom]

Found in South Norwood, Sarf East London this afternoon, all in front of the same block of flats, seems that having an apartment in this block entitles you to keep lawn ornaments I guess:

Excuse the crappiness of the photos, I left the kids in the car and the locals were getting restless, so I had to hurry:

Exhibit A, Ford Capri-Sun, has a sick lean, blebs on the other side and on the bonnet, otherwise could be good.

 

 

[CaptainBoom]

Exhibit B, Goof MK4, which looks OK (sorry, finger over lens on second photo - I'm really not good at photography) except the back looks like Shrek has spaffed over it.

[CaptainBoom]

Exhibit C, Crusty looking 'Break My Windows' which also looks like Shrek has been getting down and dirty with it.  Love the plate - NERK - for fans of Porridge
