This Rover 214 has made the final journey 

In what appears to be a fairly low spec.  214SEi.  I liberated the rear wiper spoiler for the Range Rover.  
 

At an industrial unit near me having some interior upholstery done.   Resplendent in unmarked white.

Apologies that I’ve also posted this on news thread but I’m bored:

Talbot Solara Minx, Premier Inn, Linwood tonight

Colourful pair in Berlin on Sunday. 

 

Nice car, nice setting, terrible wheels.

A few from today's Mount Edgcumbe show..................

An interesting selection of Japanese stuff there, particularly this Toyota. Always a bit of a rarity here, I think there is at least one other saloon in the UK and there used to be a coupe:

Last saloon I recall seeing was in a scrapyard back in the mid-late '90s:

Just found another very french thing in my photos too

These two havent moved in years

Papped at a fast fit in Medway.

The story goes it was purchased with a recent mot and the new/unhappy owner appealed the validity of the pass and so Vosa got involved with dire concequencies.

Do tell. Sill under fresh paint looks maybe a little crumbly and the tyres need a can of links and a lighter though looks fair together on the surface for a pineapple.

Spotted a few older cars today. Not shite maybe, but they are now old cars, all of them.

I was travelling with work last week, I was very impressed to see these two next  to me on the ferry to Belfast:

I stopped for breakfast in the dock and was lucky that I left the cafe at just the right time to see these coming past with about six additional similar age Austin’s, it was a fantastic sight but unfortunately I could not get my phone out quick enough to take a picture as I had a coffee in one hand and my truck keys in the other.

Not often you stumble across one of these

Spotted on our chalet site in Chapel St Leonard's Lincolnshire. A 1946 Austin 10 in full oily rag resto condition, apparently it's a daily driver through summer!

I’m just back from a holiday in Turkey. Temperature was brain meltingly hot so didn’t often venture away from the swimming pool but I did manage to spot the following:

Tofas Sahin - there were a lot of these - based on the Fiat 131 and made in Turkey

Renault torus - a turkish built renault 12. 

Our hotel featured a beach party one night and the mobile stage used was set up on this old truck.

Looks ace! Not sure I remember them in any other colour.

It’s pretty similar to a Mk3 Cortina, why did it not sell as well?

I think the Chrysler name didn't help, and I think it had a rep for being thirsty. Very comfy though, IIRC.

I vaguely remember reading that they were originally going to be Humber-badged (in the UK anyway).

They are more Granada sized, like a giant Avenger but your point still stands. For some reason some companies just couldn't shift big cars. Fiat Croma anyone? 

[Yoss]

A Corsa C on its own is nothing to shout about (though they are getting scarcer). But two together and the same colour must be photoworthy?

Owned by a local Lanos botherer, he's currently got two. He had three at one stage.
