Ah bugger...

 

This local registered Rover has been abandoned for a good week now on the exit road coming out of Bluewater shopping centre near Greenhithe.

Mot'd and taxed and only 44k miles maybe a Giffer owner may come back for it?

Spotted this near banchory the other morning, also saw it dragging a trailer away from the local charity shop the other day but wasnt quick enough to capture it... Never seen it before, so must be new to the area... Will look out for him amd direct him this way :)

Just spotted this in Ches Vegas, the shorter of the two old boys in the background was proclaiming very loudly that it would last another fifty years. While I was debating whether or not to correct him on his error the owner began to tell him how much he'd spent in the last few months... It looked good for it though.

Continuing Urkos Japanese theme, I caught this in Sheffield today, looked remarkably rust free and apparently a supercharged model...

This is an 'Insignia' version of the XJS, with special paint (in this case lavender - but they would paint the car any colour you wanted), a full, semi-aniline leather interior - every appropriate surface was covered in leather, with no vinyl used whatsoever, Wilton carpets and specially dyed wood to the colour of the owner's choice. They're rare cars - only 200-odd made (the Insignia package was much more commonly ordered on the XJ40) - and very sought after now. I am fairly sure I saw the same car parked at Booths supermarket in Knutsford a year or two back.

Now, where did I get up to yesterday?

 

This car lives across the road from me. Its absolutely lovely. Not managed to chat to the owner yet.

More modern 3 series. This was an 318is. Was not aware of this model in this shape. Apparently its not as good as the E30.

post-3133-0-94318400-1456081360_thumb.jpg

 

These next ones were all in Sainsburys car park. when I saw the 2nd Lolvo, I thought it must've been the same one that I had seen the day before but the lack of lacquer peel sugfested it wasn't.

And I saw this in Wales. There was a rally on there and saw a few Escorts knocking about but this was the only photo I got.

This was a right spot. The driver looked right pissed off sat there as the traffic was gridlocked just before christmas so I whimped out of getting any other photos.

These were all in Hebden Bridge but up the hill so are not going to have been swept away in the floods.

This was also in Hebden Bridge I think. It was next to the Co-op so may well have git caught up in it if it wasn't moved.

Not sure where this was.

post-3133-0-38127200-1456084825_thumb.jpg

 

This was an odd find. I was in Otley and saw what I thought was a Porsche 914 on some ramps in a garage in the distance, so I walk down the road to investigate and it turns out it was my imagination playing tricks on me as it was an old 4x4 with a bumper with the lights on it, not a Porsche. However in the yard next to the garage was a Porsche 914. I AM SEPTIC PEG.

Living around Bradford, you may have noticed there seems to be a lot of old Mercs smoking about. Here is another.

This was driving through the middle of Bradford.
