seth Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 hotford, indeed. There seem to be a few phouses along there with interesting choices of raod transport.... Went up to Stoneleigh today for the Restoration Show. Didn't get much time to take photos but here's some car park spots. 34k miler, quartic quipped for sale. Took a small detour on the way back to take the Hillman back home. Unfortunatly is not there anymore Then got a couple of rolling shots in the fading light courtesy of Mrs_Seth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 The Celica was stunning. Very nice colour! Here's a few random spots and a few from todays A-fram expedition. Polo looked liek a student's first car, complete with "KEV" numebr plate and it fortunatly made it all the way under the Thames... One for Private Eye readers. I thought initially I could see an MGB in the distance. How wrong was I! Nice to find something interesting instead once he hit traffic. This truck is not shite but was an amusing second time spot. Saw it last year when we went to watch the Fireworks at Alexandra Palace but had no camera. Went to Ally Pally again last night, parked somewhere quite different and bumped into it again parked well away from where it was last year! Some posh West End shite seen from the Pogfus. And a couple of honeys closer to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torsten2001 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I know, toy cars are shit in comparison, or only built to be played with for a short time, do you remember the Commer Police van with the battery operated lights or the Austin Cambridge Learner car with the steering on the roof?

pompei Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I think Clarkson has got one of those massive Mercs. Think Lennon had one at some stage too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michiel Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 This one apparently: "The vehicle was specially built for the Beatles star and had a black velvet interior and a record player installed. He owned the car for three years until moving to the United States with his wife Yoko Ono, when he sold it to fellow band member George Harrison. In 1975 it was sold to Mary Wilson of The Supremes, after which it began to fall into a state of disrepair." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycox Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Lennon's Merc's still around, it was auctioned in 2001... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DtobxR_RmxU Apparently it didn't sell though... http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade ... 248-1.html Difficult to find out what happened next but surely it's survived the last 7 years...
