Conrad D. Conelrad Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 What is this MYSTERY CAR I spotted today? And if you can somehow recognise the make and model, what specific generation is it? Richard, Jim Bergerac, DVee8 and 1 other 4
phil_lihp Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 That Rover P5 + caravan is wonderful, I wouldn't mind being held up by that. In fact, somewhere on the A303 a couple of years ago I was briefly held up in a line of traffic following a similar vintage of caravan. When we got to the overtaking lane and I passed it, it was being towed by a stunningly immaculate Triumph 2500 estate. I'd like to think that every motorist who passed it had a smile rather than a frown as a result. I seem to recall that there's a sad story behind that abandoned green 340, something to do with the house burning down and the occupants having no insurance? Apparently they just upped and left, leaving the car where it was. I might be wrong but anyway from what I've read it's been there a long, long time now.
Richard Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 IIRC the house burned down on Christmas Eve about 20 years ago. brickwall 1

Joey spud Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Never seen one of these before,not even sure what it is tbh.
Richard Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 It turns out there's more stuff behind the caravan. I'll have to go back for a closer look. I wonder if anybody lives in the caravans. Lacquer Peel 1

fordperv Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 This was waiting for someone at work last night, looked grim even in the dark I've just seen this, paint was a bit thin in places it was translucent but it looked a nice enough motor Joey spud and Magnificent Rustbucket 2
Joey spud Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I am sure this has been spotted on here before on a driveway in RochesterNow engine and box less and outside a garage unit in Strood.Can't help thinking that the severe grot in the roof doesn't bode well for its long term future.

hairnet Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 In Belfast yesterday Saw traction avant in crawfordsburn coming out of a pub where there was a wedding on PIC on other cam tho BMW elec thing walking from premier inn to titanic
quicksilver Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 No pic but today's Sainsburys spot was a K-reg ex-BT Fiesta van. Must be a rare thing these days and I was lucky to see it at all being a grey van on a foggy day. Veering off topic, but what utter cuntfuttock decided painting the BT vans grey was a good idea?

quicksilver Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 It must be shonky commercial week round here. Following on from yesterday's Fester, today's sightings comprised a pre-smiley Transit beavertail still working, a Maestro van, and best of all, the lesser-spotted Vauxhall Arena! Sadly no photos though as they were all passing the window.
catsinthewelder Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Someone must have disturbed the nest, I saw an Arena campervan the other day piloted by a pair of giffers. It had Arena Touring or something similar written down the side in big vinyl letters which made me chuckle.
Guest steah Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I had a chat with the owner of this fine 216S - Only a young 'un but also owns a proper 998 mini and a Herald.
