OMG DANGLY MIRRAZ shocker.

Ah, 1.6L the bog standard repmobile of the 80s.Absolute beauty of it :)and an uber rare 'Y' reg. ! must be one of the absolute first! I can just imagine the "wow look at that new car" from little kids on journeys 'n stuff.

Looks like plastic letters on tin plates, that musta been quite rare by 1983.Agree its pleasing to see surviving Sierras of this age but they sold quite a lot on Y-reg, as it was launched late 82, probably much less than A-reg tho.

Early R5 tucked away in a garage in Plungington..

 

 

And just around the corner this super boat...

 

 

Misleading as the driver was a rather fat bloke

That Leyland truck looks like something out of a 1950s vision of the year 2000...

As mentioned in the Volvo for Sale in Preston thread today was a day of hardcore Deltic action and some Ribble Bus action.

 

I got up fairly early (given that its my day off today, then Im on duty for the next 10 days straight) and cajoled the family into action expecting the local steam railway to be packed out with people given that it was heritage bus day and there were free rides round the town all day as well as train rides....

 

The wife was of course delighted* to spend the day looking at old buses and trains with a group of blokes mostly over pensionable age and all with beards.
