Lazy spotters thread

[Braddon81]

 

Renault 25 spotted near Newcastle Emlyn in Mid Wales last Weekend.

[Braddon81]

Spotted in Sketty in Swansea yesterday .. an early arrow shaped Minx,with what possibly looked like the original owner walking away from it! Just as they looked 30 years ago, all wobbed up and cheaply blown over!

At the tip this morning, carrying its own weight in loft insulation.

My favourite sort of Mk3 Escort.  Spotted in, sold in and registered in Hereford.

 

Would it be CVH or pushrod? That rear wiper might have been an expensive option.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Pushrod

[Asimo]

Good!, I s'pose if it was CVH it would have expired years ago.

 

The tractor next door.

Zetor, 3 cylinder, takes a long time to start and the exhaust is very blue. I bet it hasn't had an oil change for decades.

A few spotted today in Kent. Taken using my phone so not gr9 kwallatee

That is a lot of wob!

3 owners, last changed hands in 2012.

Ford had generously made the rear wiper standard equipment by 1989. Nice find.

Not quite lazy spotting, more lazy scanning as these are old photographs, but didn't think it was worth a separate thread and didn't know where else to put them

Publicity shot for the Landcrab Hearse

 

My one old Austin Dorset and Austin Hereford (the only photograph I have of them together)

 

Abandoned Bristol, I agonsised over this as I could have had it really cheap, but the ownership was uncertain and I chickened out

 

My old Morgan Plus 4 Drophead Coupe

 

Dead Imp that was in the same place as the Bristol

 

Standard 10 that was in the same place as the Imp

 

This was my mate's TR7 wating for a replacement engine, so I loaned him the Trabant seen in the background. (Last time I checked the TR7 was still going, but now red white and blue with a V8.

Way aye man! Golden olde from the north east

Here are the spotted highlights of the last month.

 

 

Firstly there is this Mk2 in Bury St Edmunds which I tend to see quite regularly, but only decided to take a photo of it recently as it is one of those cars that even though you know it is something uncommon, you still take it for granted whenever you see it.

 

 

Also spotted that same day. I am not too sure whether this is of interest of too many many on here, as it is a Golf GTI, but I thought it was worth posting on here as it seemed to have no signs of being a victim of pineappling and looks like it is still being used regularly.

 

 

4 in 1 picture. When I saw this it felt like it could have been a scene from 20 years ago. An 80s 6 series, 2 E36's and a poverty spec Carina.

 

 

2.5 turbo. Very nice to see as you never really see them out and about.

 

 

Not a Cavalier, but a right hand drive Ascona (probably imported from Ireland). These pictures are from a while ago, but I never posted them here. I recently saw this same car drive past whilst I was at a petrol station, but missed snapping it then, so decided to post these unseen and older pictures up.

 

 

1.4 GTS that is two streets over from me. I had never noticed it before, as I don't really ever go down it, but it was nice to see one.

 

 

And finally this Escort. Never seen around here before, but still looks like it is being used as an everyday car. Maybe these things are tougher than I thought they were.

 

If anyone is interested, I can post up the pictures that I had posted during the forum problems we had not too long ago.

Here's some odds and sods I've spotted in the last few weeks, that I've managed to snap:

 

 

Tidy MX5 at Meadowhall.

 

 

It's the bastard child of Old Man's and Ken's A4s! Early model, with 2.6 V6 but green and FWD. (2.6 non-quattro is a seemingly very rare spec for these).

 

 

There are a lot of Land Rovers in Glossop for some reason. Here's one being worked on. The wings were bare metal...

 

 

What's this? Was LHD and 1978/T reg.

 

 

And a four door Honda Logo I think this was imported.

[Eddie Honda]

Only a few spots to mention. First there was a 1983 A-reg Renault 11 hatch in Mike Douglas's scrappy (sorry no pic), along with this 1.4 Volvo 300 with missing prop, n/s/f wing and knackered bonnet.

 

 

There were very few old pieces of chod around but I did see a Pug 205 and a C15 van in amongst things.

 

Then over at Morrisons a regular of their car park.

 

 

And finally a Crouton at Tosco Dumfries.

I have to say - I properly spaffed myself at the lights yesterday.

This must be really loved judging by the MOT work needed over the years.

 

There was another A40 behind the fence

 

as well as this, which DVLA tells me is a 1950.

[Ghosty]

Here's a Ford Racing Puma in Huddersfield.

Nearly pissed my pants, it's only a flippin Strada!

 

Not quite what I had in mind however....

 

Went round the corner and saw a new Fiat Tipo. Didn't even know they existed. Guaranteed grade A future shite. I'm telling ya....

Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

Well unless it's a baby BMW.

 

I stood next to this to take the picture of the e30, then realised how much more spot worthy the Fiesta is !

Have you hunted it down and bought it yet?

[BorniteIdentity]

Have you hunted it down and bought it yet?

Negative. I've got feelers out everywhere but am beginning to think that it might not be a locally owned car. Grrr.
