Odd place to have a H3

vectra B spotted right outside our hotel. Actually spotted it in town but kinda knew I’d see it again. Not many roads round here.

I spotted this absolute beauty in a driveway in Barnet. What's odd is that I walk round here regularly and have never seen in before:

Plus one of the mid-80s Renaults whose number I can never remember.

Old fiat on the front. Presumably a business promoter.

Well, as suspected, north Wales is full of AS worthy spots. Trouble is that most were in farmyards or rural driveways where I couldn't easily get a snap. 205s dominate, with shagged Land Rovers and older jap 4x4s making a strong bid.

I have to say I'm impressed at the dedication and hopeful nature of those choosing a convertible.

This Morris resides near me and is used most days by an older lady.

It's the right year,the right colour and it has got the Minor Million badges attached so it probably is one of the 350 (one for each dealership) special edition cars made in 1961.

Back to the Canary Islands after 30 years. In '95 I hired an Ibiza so it was good to see a few still around.  All of them significantly sun-damaged, even a white one.

M6 toll services always seem to have something interesting

Or, you can have a "box fresh" 207 that's been sitting at Cherwell Valley services for some time.

I appreciate it's not proper AS fodder, but it's incredible to see what my mind considers a "newish" car abandoned

I like a 207. Gopping looks but you don't have to see them when you're driving it, and I think they drive perfectly nicely. 

As, I can imagine, does this.

In the last few years I have grown a huge appreciation for a very average old/dated car that is being used and kept going. In many cases I think that is more interesting than a much rarer car that someone has spent loads of time and money restoring and now rarely uses.

Lovely. Absolutely spotless inside and out. I've seen it a few times around my way so I think it's being used as a daily.

Lovely, Somerset reg. Could almost be my avatar!

This has been here years. It was a lot more intact last time I saw it, looks like someone jumped on it. That tree is growing through the boot.

Also part of a Fiesta not far away.

With the black paint surrounding the rear windows, coachline and the holes where the rear spoiler was looks like it was an XR2
