The Fiorino is doing sterling service, about 6000 miles over the last 16 months, even after  its been parked up for 3 or 4 weeks, always started first time, no ftp's to date.

Pictured earning its keep last winter.

Those spaces are so small even a Jag needs 4 of them ?

That's special. That's old money parking that is.

Been a while since I saw one of these.

For all I seem to recall the motoring press at the time basically going "why does this car even exist?!?" We never had any trouble shifting them at the garage, and we had a few of them through.  Shame it's not yellow though.

I'm 90% sure I see that car parked on a driveway whenever I'm on the way to/from my parents' house. Owner has had it for-e-ver.

Anyone seen a Rancho lately?? Should be a prize for that!

Barn finds are ten a penny these days, here's a genuine quarry find.

I really feel that I should be able to ID that, and I'm utterly failing.

I couldn't find a name or even a number on it anywhere. I'm left wondering how on earth it ended up there - on a slate tip in a quarry at 1400ft above sea level a mile from the nearest road.

Going by the front bumper, intake manifold and valve cover I'm guessing it's a '50s Ford Zephyr?

I think it's a Mk 1 Zephyr/Zodiac.  Struts, so almost certainly Ford, and engine, master cylinders, overriders, and a few other bits look right.

I reckon it's a Ford Zephyr/Zodiac Mk2

Edit: Beaten to it.

I've seen some interesting that over the last few days.  I saw this on a walk just before it's blue ovaled equivalent.

look closer, there are two Fiestas.

On the way back I stopped at the supermarket and got back to find that my girlfriend had stopped the owner of this lovely 240 for a chat so I'd see it before he left.  He's got a couple of Triumphs too and has been directed here.

Today's trek out saw this hoard, I'm fairly sure the purple 144 was at the big field auction a few months ago having just watched the Smith and Sniff video of it.

Also this - I definitely* need to buy another fucked early '70s Volvo rather than fixing the one I've already got.

Firstly fuck Lincolnshire.

 

I was in the sticks delivering to a new build.... Key worker? New build?

 

Anyway, one house had 15 minis, an sd1 and a montego. Across the road a Nova in bits, same road two Freelander 1's on the drive.... Same road, one house with a Monaro and an MG3. How does that work? "Hi, love. Listen I'm getting myself a monster V8. Would you like a crummy mg?"

 

North of Boston is the top find. I'm behind a Fezza and I think, it can't be? I get closer, fuck me it is. A Fezza 1.6S. ?

This marvellous Talbot Express has turned up in our area, complete with cataracts and mild accident damage.
