Looks like you're around Kirkstall. I see the silver XJS from the train each day on my commute. It'll (probably along with the other chod) be to do with Tasker and Lacey. I've used them for repairs on my old X308 before. 

That's right, on the industrial estate just over the river bridge coming out of the city. Jags all over the shot, picked up some fancy chocolates for me mum from Lauden chocolates on the same estate. Someone called my Mondeo a classic while I was there

The pub 'The Bridge' is a good spot for a beer too. 

This photo that went viral a couple of years back was taken there. Thankfully they've beefed up the flood defences now.

A few from CZ earlier this week. Let's start with the Škodas of course. 

Safe to say Felicias are still quite common but you do need to go and look for them. You won't see them much in city centres, you do need to go out into the suburbs, or even better the middle of nowhere and have a walk around. 

But this was the only Favorit I saw close up.

But this one gets its own post, not just for being cool in itself but also for the great setting.

But this takes the prize for Italian exotica. 

[Yoss]

Plus some random stuff. 

Volvo still in use as a taxi. 

 

A caged Jaguar 

 

Tidy Saab in a colourful setting. 

And now I think about it this is probably the best Italian exotica.

Spotted on the m42. Looked and sounded like a real one.

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster.

Saw this jag at b&q the other day but forgot to get a photo.  Then No.1 son sent me this pic. Check out the sill!

Not seen a Sportrak for some time. My neighbour had one in 1990.

Except it's called a Feroza over there, and I think in the rest of  Europe. But yeah, it's the same thing.

Staying at a hotel on the island of Kos, and this is grounds keepers transport. It’s leaving patches of oil everywhere 🤣

Great Logo catch, that green seems to be a super rare choice.

Took the kids to the park and saw this absolutely immaculate MK3 Escort Ghia.

They have their badges in the wrong order!

Ghia should be after 1.6.

Still very nice.

Is it a fake Ghia? I thought they only did base and L (and a few specials) and in the 3 door.

3-door GL and Ghia apparently available from 1980 to 1983, with both 1300 and 1600 engines, according to an old Parker's Guide I have here.

In the small town of Kardamena on Kos. It’s warm here but close to the sea. This poor old boy had rust holes in the roof. 
 

 

 

I spotted an original KA, with half its right sill missing. At a guess, MOT rules are non existent here in Greece as are the police. Not seen any yet.

This came up in a FB group a few days ago, cars can rot in the strangest ways on the islands. Here's a Volvo V40, Mk1 Focus and Polo with a slowly dissolving roofs:

Spotted these on Gran canaria a few years ago. Audi and polo halequin in the distance.
