Behold this magnificently shonky heap of shite. It looks like it belongs in the bargain basement pages of Auto Trader circa 1996.

A Mamy and a Mammy.

Bloke just paid £450 for this!

I love seeing things like this, but i do also wonder just how shonky some 'MOT exempt' stuff actually is

This one isn't even MOT exempt quite yet so it's been passing tests in that state. I dread to think how much worse it'll get from next year when it doesn't need an MOT anymore.

I have no idea what this is but I like it...

This had just rolled off the back of a flatbed outside a local garage when I arrived.

It looked really tidy under the dust. There were no holes and if it was full of filler it had been done well.

I'm not a Ford licker but this is obviously quite a late one as I know you can get mk4s on an R and I wasn't aware they moved the F O R D lettering from the bonnet. Also a rear wiper must have been a rarity in 1976 or 77ish.

My google-fu shows it to be a BMC LD Mk3

Here's another pic of it...

This is more like how it should look:

J reg is early, no? In Colwyn Bay this morning 

[Datsuncog]

Delighted to see that Abbey Fireplaces' Dodge Spacevan on an X-reg is still putting in graft as a daily hack.

Saw it parked up on the Shore Road the other day, but the photo I attempted didn't turn out.

Still, here it is back in 2019:

Another spot for me today. First time ever seeing  a Citroen Ami other than in pics. In Airdrie this lunchtime.

Spotted a Toyota Isis in Sainsbury’s today, never heard of it, sticker in the back window suggests a jap import

Somewhere in the Midlands

I didn’t think council cuts were that bad!

What else do you take to an 80s music festival? Spotted in the car park at Rewind Scotland at Scone Palace.

A few more from north Wales:

and best til last 🙂

Seen at Baldock Services yesterday. This car lived within the ULEZ as expanded in 2021, so I am relieved to see it is still around. Apologies for the appalling photo.

Spotted in Bideford this morning. I had a long chat with the owner, who said it’s his daily car! Top guy!

Drive by (from the passenger seat) phot

The Autoshite party bus is here.

My daily roads are currently Spanish so I hope it still counts, spotted with @outlaw118some point last week. He was keen on it but fuck knows if I can remember what it was. All I remember is how sci-fi the badge was.

 

And behold a very blurry picture of a very spoony and clean classic moooooooooose.

216 Cab I tried to capture few days back

[nev_jr]

Passed this earlier on, surprised this is the first one I’ve seen in all the time I’ve lived here.
