Older big Jaguars are often owned by pub landlords.  I remember a pub near me used to have an rough looking A reg XJ12 always parked outside.

I was pretty pleased to have spotted this in the 1970s/Lee-on-Solent earlier.

The 'fastback' makes what would be a purposeful 3-box saloon look incredibly gawky IMHO. 

It looked great from ten feet but was a bit rust scabby up close.

Still, it's been about a decade since I last saw one, so glad it's out and about and being used.

I've just seen a "J" reg (1992) rear engined red Skoda Rapid going along a road next to my home road in Barnet. I was so totally shocked that I didn't have time to picture it! If it's in my area I'll be sure to catch it next time!

Really? IMHO much classier than the surrounding dross

Bonus points for plastic seat covers, 90s crooklok and what appeared to be original sills - or if not then fully replaced and sprayed body colour. It also had a new backbox on the exhaust

Excuse the terrible pic, but this was a very tidy Break piloted by some long haired yoof. Spotted this afternoon in Kingsbridge

One of the many vehicles now being used inside the U.L.E.Z. that are exempt. As you can see, the pollution is prolific and one can hardly see the vehicle through the smog.....

(Mayor Khan take a look around here-NO pollution!)

I thought the delightful greens of both the Land Rover and the grassy surrounds were just perfect!

Early Sherpas seem to be coming out of the woodwork lately.  I've seen three in the last couple of weeks (not counting the one at the BL show) just out and about, having not seen one for probably a decade outside a show.

My mam spotted this in the Czech Republic. A beauty. (The car, not my mam, although she looks alright for her age.)

But spot of the week and possibly of the year was in Tenterden this morning. Apparently still working for a living.

Outstanding! Not seen it before! Did you have a good time there?

Mostly. It's a bit restrictive having the dog with us. There are so many places to eat in places like Rye and Tenterden so we just buy nice things from a bakery and take them back to the farm.
