It's definitely an colour choice alright.

I spotted this superb Nissan at the end of my road yesterday evening; it sports dealer plates-the genuine AFG (Associated Finance Group) ones, a cassette player and (wait for it...) a rack for holding cassettes in boxes! The paintwork has a delightful patina  and it's in regular use-a perfect Autoshite car!

A small world again!

I'd actually popped up to Bedfordshire after work in the Capri, so I left the Bluebird there whilst I did so. I'm using it quite a bit this month to mop up some of the miles as the Mondeo will be doing a few longer trips.

Fuel economy pants mind, and it'll fall foul of the extended ULEZ in a year and a bit but...

It'll be my old cassette player that's been papped in that photo too!

Absolutely! The centre box on the Bluebirds is a little low, so you can screw a cassette holder to it and it doesn't get in the way.

Glad to hear that you're still enjoying it. Was a class little unit but my Sony cassette (w/CD changer) quickly displaced it.

Same colour and body style as my first Vectra B!

Unusual (but nice) to see a GeeeSSSSSAye  'Loon.

Likewise.  At least it's an estate.

We had one of the shape before that through the garage which just *looked* like it had been penned to be a saloon or estate - it was an honest surprise when I walked far enough past and found it was a hatchback...it just looked downright strange.  Like someone had literally just taken a guillotine to a saloon and not tweaked anything else to suit.

Wasn't a bad driving little thing though...just looked horrifically awkward.

Just been ticketed, the warden saw me papping and stepped away quickly

Do they use the same body shell as an Impreza wagon?

Outside work today. 

Note the curtains, which were also fitted to the front doors, which doesn't seem very practical unless you are actually going to sleep in it. Then I saw another one five minutes later which is a bit odd as there can't be too many about.

Have posted pictures of this one before. This is one of the few cars from the 1970s that are still daily drivers all year round in the area here.  Good to see it is still going.

And yes I managed to get a finger on the picture sorry.

It's taken me eleven years to upload this picture, but here's a seemingly functional Rover dealer/workshop taken in 2011. Presumably there was nobody in Budleigh Salterton representing Roewe to claim the IP back, plus the geriatric locals couldn't bear to part with Auntie Rover so the dealer didn't tell them they'd gone bust.

More papperation, with a wonderful, aptly plated, poo brown, seemingly daily driven Aggro 3 kicking off the proceedings!

The Mini Clubman is for sale at The Motorist, and they want EIGHTEEN FUCKING GRAND for it.

Spotted in Sandwich today. A lovely Bedford CA van. I think the Dunlop decals were added more recently, but the paintwork looked original judging by how dull it was and the van looked really solid. The seats had been replaced by Jaguar seats according to the owner, but the van was mainly original.
