seth Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Its been quite a while since I updated this thread! I guess I'm busy exercising the camera at shows rather than out on the streets. I have been on a couple of tat hunting missions recently though so here's those results and a few more. Looked out the window one day to find this parked outside. A Katie non-shite spot on her way home These next few are from a walk to a different than normal park with my dauighter. One day she'll learn how to ask me why we keep stopping to take photos of odd cars And then last week I had to wonder over to my brother in laws and went armed to snap a few cars I knew were lurking and some I didn't B reg is very early for this shape isn't it?! Clubman on Starmags and unfortunately wearing clear rear lights too. But it was hiding under some nice concrete near Brent Cross shopping centre The following are from other round and about trips. Humber had better have paid his congestion charge, driving around Soho looking for parking... I think we got spotted photographing this French registered beauty on the M25! and to finish off some lovely J-van action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Wow!! Mk 3 'tina rag top, AND Taunus coupe in the same thread!! Respect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Nice spots Seth, that 900 looks buffed within an inch of it's life!Lovely to see a Mk1 Polo under it's own power there too. E30 3-series Beemers can be found as early as Y-reg, if you're lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Lovely!! Sounds like you had a good time spotting, certainly got some results. Seems to be a lot of those "vanning-zoku" vans coming from Japan this year, that one is a fairly mild example. Still a bit tacky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstraight6 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Great selection Seth, love the whitewalled Humber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiel Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Lovely Humber, and I think I've seen that Dutch Ford before, either here or on RR. He sure drives a lot then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I think I posted the dutch car on RR when I first saw it. On the way back from Goodwood FoS I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Looked out the window one day to find this parked outside. Ooh, a Crayford. Smart! Must be worth a bit now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Looked out the window one day to find this parked outside. Back-end looks familiar from http://www.retro-rides.com/gallery.asp?issubmitted=displayimage&imageid=346&folder=26&offset=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I think I posted the dutch car on RR when I first saw it. On the way back from Goodwood FoS I think.Unless there's more than one of these about (same colour/spec etc) then it has also been to Bromley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Back-end looks familiar And this must be the "original"? from http://retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=rr07&action=display&thread=1187132498 What's the black car next to "86" in the foreground?

seth Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 That's a rusty 95! Those late rubber bumpers don't do anything for their looks either what with the number plate getting shoved up on to the tailgate.Keef, MGB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Wow!! Mk 3 'tina rag top, AND Taunus coupe in the same thread!! Respect!!He, he. I got a single photo today that beats that combo! I'll get it on-line later but a clue is one piece of French executive tat and a bit of German obscurity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Keef, MGB! Cheers.I think it being a hard top and the photo cutting off the rear made me doubt, although the long front end kind of gives the game away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 OK, here we go. Check it! and a few more from today's sortie on the streets of London True Mini shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 w00f! 604 sexy!Is the fiat place in Wealdstone or similar? I'm sure my hapless Triumph-killing associate sent me some very similar shots a while back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Not Wealdstone but under the arches of our nearest "Green" tube station There's often a single 500 or something there but I think this is the most old cars I've seen in one go.

pogweasel Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Golder's I presume. I'll have to look out for that. Shame that's not on my 'patch'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Another Autoshite 604 spot, hat's off to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 True Mini shite. It's an 848CC model as well! Can't be many of them still on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Mini is fantastic, super shitey!And as for the 604, its a GTi and on Lille plates (59) meaning it's done well to survive too, they had as shite weather as us!! Totally dribbletastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Is the blue coupe below the 604 pics a Bitter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiel Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Can I take the Bitter if you all want the 604? Great spots Seth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I don't think I've ever seen an early Mini as beaten-up as that. Bitter and 604 on the same road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Wow the 604's are a-coming out of the woodwork now!I've only seen Bitter's in two places before, Bromley & Fieldgate - a local classic car show at Sidlesham. They're SC's I believe, which was the 80's version of the CD of the 70's. Got lovely 3.9's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 That Mini looks like it had one careful owner up until about 1995, then driven just about into the ground since then. Brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Mini IS fapping ace. Looks just like it's escaped from about 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Time for an update then! I saw this some time ago in the car park at the microcar rally we went to. An unfamiliar one to me and left hand drive. This pair I think I've posted before are close to where my brother lives. The these two in the same little car park. Note undercover photography styleee so as not to get caught out! Perhaps just had his American nails done? Traveller shite I snapped the back of this and then when I saw the driver had to get a full frontal too! And finally perhaps top spot for the time being though it might not count as a true spot as I saw it emerging from the Ace Cafe as I drove past on my way home on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Blimey....Probably due to the fact that I don't get to spend as much time on my bum in front of this laptop as I'd like due to work (off at the moment....LAHVLY! ), I've missed some of Your recent updates I have to say that this is spotting of the highest calibre: Peugeot 604, Bitter SC, Renault 18, and now a Wartburg? If I were wearing my hat, I'd take it off to You sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Good to see an update from you Seth. First one is the saloon version of Mazda 323, sold with three different looks (four if you count previous model estate still sold alongside it). That one looks US-spec, I imagine here via USAF personnel and probably Alconbury or Mildenhall/Lakenheath judging by the Cambs EG registration.
