Kennedy's captures - 1st May - Science

[seth]

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

 

 

[pompei]

Ha - yellow Skoda on two threads on the same day - what are the chances of that happening?

[seth]

First a couple of local spots...

 

 

 

 

 

and then a few from our jaunt today down to Goodwod for the "Sushi Sunday"

 

Defo not shte. Not yet anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That well known purveyor of quality fuels!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the last spot when nearly back home, perhaps corwn shite of the day goes to:

 

[155V6]

That Volvo 140 estate has been there at least 10 years,there's a Transit Luton behind it hidden by bushes as well

[michiel]

That 124 is fantastico!

[Split_Pin]

Loving that 124 - even if passers by think its a Lada lol!

[Gompo]

...That Celica looks in great condition.Cheers.

[seth]

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.

 

 

 

[Albert Ross]

Nice spots. Don't "get" the truck, but ahem..........it's the 9th!

[seth]

Another mini update though mostly not proper shite.

 

Unmolested and LHD

 

 

This was gross!

 

 

Same Hindustan I saw recently

 

 

Granny 2! Old boy driving it.

 

 

And I came back to the car after doing some shopping to find some hot wagon ass action going on!

 

[Spottedlaurel]

About the Benz, aren't those stretch limo's so tacky?...Missed the update with the CX estate, in that colour it's the spit of the Matchbox Superfast one I had.Found another pile of Minx/Hunter stuff last night, get it off to you soon.

[Albert Ross]

Registered as a Hindustan, but insured as a Morris..................interesting............How can a 600D Grosser be "tacky"???? Proper monster car!

Mine did!What happened to all those COOL features that Corgi put on its model cars of the late 60s and 70s?

[Torsten2001]

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?

[VWPowered]

wonder why loads have got french plates at the ace cafe, bit of a treak like

 

 

wassthis

[Betaphile]

Lancia 2000 Coupe (updated Flavia). I really like these but that one looks like it's seen better days.

I'd forgotten that, but yes, it did!! And yes, I had that Cambridge with the wheels that steered using the driving-school logo on the roof. In blue with a white stripe. And, a lovely shiney Studebaker GOLDEN Hawk! Ah, simple pleasures.

Ahh, the Golden Hawk, with the BIG tax disc on the windscreen! I've still got mine!

[pompei]

I think Clarkson has got one of those massive Mercs. Think Lennon had one at some stage too

[michiel]

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."

[j-j]

Love the lancia and Peugeot at the Ace - always thought they looked similar. Love the Merc Limo - IIRC it had air suspension and pneumatic windows and seats..

[Richard]

If it doesn't have tax or SORN the chances are it's been cubed.

[garycox]

Lennon's Merc's still around, it was auctioned in 2001...

Apparently it didn't sell though...

Difficult to find out what happened next but surely it's survived the last 7 years...
