I just LLOOVVEE that Commer Cob van! If memory serves, Hillman made an estate car version of the Imp, based on it, or was that the other way round....?

IIRC the Cob was based on the 1500. Imp estate was the Husky.

Southampton reg too so it might not have been too far in the last 35 years.

This little beauty lives close by. Had a child's seat in the back. Is spotless and is clearly being used as family transport. Winner.

You got my interest because I misread it as “Beamer giving way”. I thought , “I must see that, once in a lifetime…”

if I'm not mistaken, that's the Cross Keys in Great Missenden! Blimey, I've "sunk a few" in there over a few years!

An unusual T25 spotted in Bourton On The Water today. One way system meant I couldn't get closer

Unexpected encounter with a parked Maestro while heading over to get the Yaris MOT'd earlier:

Late plate and high stance suggestive of a Ledbury car, no?

On a rarity scale of 1-10, where 1 is "common" and 10 "rare", this vehicle is an 11, without a doubt! I only ever seen one in the flesh, although I do have a "Motoring Which" report from January 1963, which said it was economical but slow, and uncomfortable, although the sliding roof was a great feature for summer days. The "suicide" doors, that were hinged at the rear were considered very dangerous, particularly as they kept flying open......

The results of a 5 minute stroll in Prague before heading to the airport. Bonus 3-for-1 and 4-for-1 shots.

Spotted in my home town yesterday. Was really tidy and had a hub nut sticker in the right rear window. Followed it out in my Carlton 👌
