He's around 70 now and fighting fit; I'd say it's likely to be developed soon, there literally is thousands of houses being built in 15 square miles around here; in rural Wicklow. Arklow, Rathdrum and Wicklow town are growing more now than during the 00s boom. We're thinking about moving elsewhere tbh

Sounds like it's going to the dogs.

Another exotic spot this morning. A works Talbot that was part of the team that won the 1932 Alpine Trial. One of its sisters sold for over £200,000 in 2008.

And something completely different. I haven't seen a Nissan Urvan in forever.

Can't believe you can buy a house that cheap in Sweden!

 I spotted this while out and about in Leafy Surrey due to a fence panel failure 

[rusty998]

Yesterday when I popped into my mates garage a customer drove this in asking for some paintwork, i asked if I could take some pictures for a group of nutters who would appreciate this in its lowly Popular glory, I'm a sucker for small commercial vehicles as I spent decades bombing around in them, a lists of the modified bits, wheels, sticker on boot and seats from a popular plus with head rests as his wife wouldn't travel in it with the standard seats, enjoy 🙂

[rusty998]

There coming out of the woodwork apparently with a double whammy LT and Stag then this wonderful Old Rover

[BorniteIdentity]

Went to a customer's today in the Avensis.  It looks shit rocking up in a 21 year old Asian Taxi - so I tend to park around the corner.  Apart from the client saw me and drove over in his £72,000 70 Plate Mercedes GLS.  Classic.  Felt a bit embarassing tbh.

Anyway - saw this on the way home and it made me smile.  Although thanks to these and XR3’s - no boy at my school ever got even a kiss off of a girl because they were all hanging out with the 18 year olds.  Bastards.

I saw a 6 door defender. Pretty sure it was this one.

4CYL RWD van that hasn’t seen tarmac for many many decades, no clue what it could be so if you see any resemblance to a make or model leave a reply!

No obvious way to identify it as there is no logo or VIN, interesting nevertheless

Bedford CA ?

[High Jetter]

I'd agree. Shame, there's a D-reg one locally that looks awesome, still working

Oh wow! That’s awesome, never heard of them before, certainly looks very similar, even older than I had thought! Hats off to you!

spotted in birmingham, the pickup appeared to still be working for a living

[quicksilver]

Went to the truckstop in Towcester today. A corner of the car park appeared to be stuck in 1994.

The Micra is a 35,000-mile one owner car that's just been sold by the re-use and recycling centre on site and looked mint apart from the missing wheeltrims.

I saw this van in 2014 when it looked more standard:

It's clearly had some money spent on it since you spotted it in 2014, the current owner love's it and is keeping it in really nice condition, I think it a wonderful little Van

Does that say Gammons of Guildford?

🤣

[Aston Martin]

I saw this on a flatbed.

It looked like a prop from Blakes 7.

 

Turns out its an industrial disinfecter for chicken coops.

Probably not as thoroughly, it’s got a fridge , water tank and mains hook up , someone has gone to the trouble of taking out the side windows, then putting caravan windows in the blanking pieces. The high top is half a roof box and it’s got  camper type graphics- maybe the owner is trying to get the logbook changed from Tricycle to Camper !
