Unexpected Panther spottage yesterday:

IMG_20241024_1305372.jpg.2d4bbc0360523a9555cb7d0a225097bb.jpg

A Lima, I think - or possibly a Kallista?

DVLA reckons it's a 2.3 litre, so likely to be a Vauxhall Magnum-based Lima, but I don't know a lot about these.

Also, another oddity in the form of a Japanese-spec Rover 220 Coupe Turbo:

Looks ace in Nightfire Red.

I've seen this one around the town for years, and never been able to get a clear pic of it - until now.

One of a batch of only 330 exported to Japan in 1995, it seems this one then returned to the UK in 2005.

Looks in decent nick, too. Long may it roll.

Very shitesque in front of the Star towers today

I started seeing 323 a month or so ago, so presumably purchased by someone local, Swift hasn’t turned a wheel for ages but is registered, and Joy Machine is a new addition to the neighborhood, I started seeing it around a week or so ago.

Spotted this Rover in the car park at Sandtoft Trolleybus Museum. I thought it was just an old car for blasting about the private land.

But It was a visitor to the Museum and all road legal!

It was great to see this when walking the dog this morning. It was very near where I spotted the last one a few weeks ago, there must be one or more BMW enthusiasts image.jpeg.046749e9c4068378589e36eb80d49770.jpeg

More Cretan chod. Can't be a coincidence that these are all higher end cars than are a good 10yrs younger than the commercial stuff posted earlier in the week. A lesson there perhaps?

I'm going Crete next year. I take it it's good for older cars then?

@Matty - not a massive amount in the tourist areas tbh. This is the best from a week's holiday 👍🏻

While we're on about Greece, here's a few I spotted in Kefalonia this summer. 

There are loads of ancient Japanese pickups laid up everywhere, but almost as many in everyday use.

After a delay of about a year I'm back "in the land of the living" and am back "skip spotting" on behalf of Barnet Council. Aside from the occasional altercation with a stroppy builder it gives me an opportunity to spot numerous items of autoshite, and this is yesterday's take:

Just popped over to a local Shitroën specialist to have a gander at the Visa dumped outside to see if it might be worth asking if he'd break it for spares for mine, but it actually looks in much better condition than Meg.

Plus it has the mental dash.

Interestingly it has Leader seats like mine. 

Might be easier to do a swap with him plus some cash. 😂

Not sure if I'd be able to handle the extra power with this being an 11 to my 10.

Anyhow, the other stuff :

Imp Jr said to get this instead.

With bonus E30 I think a few doors down.

 *EDIT

Another E30 seen whilst having a pint in Guiseley. Young lad driving it too.
