Couple of rare spots this week, lovely RS2000 which sounded like it had a turbo lump in and a Chevrolet I've never seen before

Optimistically priced Escort with rubbish roof.

It is low mileage and nice but £8k? I think not. 

That a C on the plate BTW, not an E if anyone tries looking it up like I did. 

There was an 07 2.2 Brera next to it with 75k, which was £5k too so I reckon the garage is probably quite optimistic in its pricing unless I'm out of touch.

First up, a modern*, who doesn't love a Kenari? Especially a local Kenari for local people from John Childs.

One was built in Hiroshima and one Kanagawa, but still, they speak the same language

A repeat, but seeing as I have joined the club. Note, like mine it is also from Sargeant and Collins. It wouldn't start when the lady returned to it, RAC man soon had it running :-)

Another repeat, but the patina on this is perfect from an AS perspective.

Buongiorno from an empty, stricken Roma. Your intrepid roving reporter has not let a bit of deadly virus stop him from papping a small selection of oddly appealing shite on the streets of the capital.

Spotted at the Oil Can Cafe in Holmfirth, slightly crusty but being used as a family car.

The Jimny looks superb in the flesh. Very basic and refreshingly small. Big fan

Is that a quarter scale Jimny replica or is it just dead far away ? ?

Unable to get a decent shot due to mountains of crap in the vicinity. Must be pretty thin on the ground now - this one is destined to be fragged due to battery borkage.  :(

This makes me sad to see, I really like these. Eventually I’d like a Gen 1 and Gen 2 Prius to go alongside my Gen 3. Depending on it’s condition it could be worth having a battery stuck in, they still go for £2k ish.

Adding some in period alloy wheels can really lift a dowdy car.

Sorry about the first potato cam pic but a Rover metro thing taking up four spaces ??

The Toyota is in Edgebaston and is driven by a 45/50 year old female. It had a ticket

stuck on the bottom half of the tailgate the other day, which I thought was an odd

place to put one.

Citreon Synergy. Wtf does synergy mean ?

"synergy

noun

the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.

"the synergy between artist and record company""

Apparently. Obs another mis-named motor.

Not really misnamed given the Synergie was the result of a project between Fiat and PSA...

Rather beaten and amusingly parked Polo in Lidl.

The other side was far more crinkled but I took it from this side because of the Honda Prelude parked over by that skip. 

Zoom....

Cheeky rear-end shots of some Italian and French delights. 

Yes that IS a Panda Citivan. “Bu$iness” indeed.
