trigger Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 That Vogue is a very rare Sunbeam version that was only made for 6 months back in 1970. 1970 Sunbeam Vogue by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr That Metro is a minter too. 1983 MG Metro 1300 by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr Alexg, Angrydicky and brickwall 3
UmBongo Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I like the MG Metro. I wonder if the sunroof leaks?
EssDeeWon Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 Nice one Trig where did you pap them two? Both only 5 minutes from me.
Angrydicky Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 If you'd gone further down the road where the Astra estate is there's a house with a rough looking MK1 Transit camper and a Zephyr/Zodiac Farnham estate on the drive! The MG Metro is lovely, used to see it parked on a driveway on Rochford Road but I think it's in new hands now. The Vogue I've seen pictures of but have never located. That Roller has been there for years, can't recall seeing it move but it's still in surprisingly good condition.I know where there's a derelict MK1 BX in Rochford as well, if you want to go and snap it! I'm probably not going to get the chance myself. It's just round the corner from that "tax exempt" CF.
EssDeeWon Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 Will have a look for the BX Dicky. The MG Metro was parked just off the Rochford Rd near the Bell, a stones throw from the Roller. The Vogue is on a driveway on Ashingdon Road just past the turning for the Astra estate.
trigger Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Nice one Trig where did you pap them two? Both only 5 minutes from me.I saw both of them at Battlesbridge show.
EssDeeWon Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Some Spots today in Brentwood Tired old Volvo shite, still in use though Office car park shite Honda Two sorry looking Saab 99's R.I.P. Two giffers in a P6 Adrian_pt, Jim Bergerac, trigger and 2 others 5
EssDeeWon Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 Todays spot. I was debating on whether to pop out and get a choccy bar tonight, sod it I did and saw this parked outside the shop I shall now enjoy my Bounty In The Pit, trigger, ShiteRider and 1 other 4
trigger Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 That Cortina was recently for sale for something daft like £800, proper bargain that.
vulgalour Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 That's a superb number plate, it could only be bettered by turning the 6s into 9s.
Angrydicky Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I've never met the owner of the Cortina, but he's definitely an enthusiast, and papped me in the carpark of Asda Shoeburyness! I've never seen the car in the flesh either, but have seen it in several pictures and know the owner recently completed journeys to Lands End and John-o-Groats from Westcliff. Shep Shepherd 1
mercrocker Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Cortina bloke is a hero. Unlike Saab man. Pity he didn't spend on one of them instead of the modern four wheeled gate he blocked them in with.....
Skoze Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Been stood for several years with no T&T, my mate who knowz loadz about cars like said it should pass MOT no probs I'LL SAVE YOU! So much want for the batmobile.
EssDeeWon Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 Latest Spots, this dolly was parked outside my drum last night, not seen it before And these from today 15th Feb; This early BX was spotted by AngryDicky, papped by myself This Granada Sport is usually under cat piss tarp, probably blew away in the gales last night My spot of the day, bloody sun decided come out as I snapped this so not great foto skilz This Cav looked sorry for itself so thought it was worth a Pap! This Astra was just over the road from the Cav Well used old MK2 Festa 4x4 Estate That's all for now chaps. Skizzer, Jim Bergerac and Shep Shepherd 3
Grundig Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 This Cav looked sorry for itself so thought it was worth a Pap! Council estate handbrake
Angrydicky Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Good to see the BX is still there! I don't suppose it has much chance of going back on the road though, sadly.
Shep Shepherd Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I saw that mega-scruffy silver Granada Ghia saloon in Prittlewell this evening
EssDeeWon Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 I saw that mega-scruffy silver Granada Ghia saloon in Prittlewell this evening The silver one on my earlier thread? That's a 2.0 L pov spev granny from Rochford, giffer owned since 1981 when it was nearly new...spoke to the owner last year, nice old chap.
EssDeeWon Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 This one Shep? brickwall and Junkman 2
Angrydicky Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I know where that lives, saw it parked up in Wakering last year and it is delightfully scruffy, with rust breaking through the front wings. Isn't there an old Transit ambulance further down on the other side of the road as well? Shep Shepherd 1
EssDeeWon Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Yeah it lives 1 min round the corner from me but I didnt see an old Transit Ambulance when I papped the Granada so it might of gone.
EssDeeWon Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 A fruitful trip to the supermarket this morning, luckily armed with the camera This lovely standard 'Not Bobtail' RR Vogue was well worth a pap. This nice old girl was a few spaces from the RR Spotted two of these Civic estates this week, same colour both G reg Nice Sierra Ghia @ B&Q And this Minor, giffer owner needed some ronseal from B&Q Jim Bergerac, Junkman and Skizzer 3
Angrydicky Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 That Sierra Ghia lives literally about a minute from here, he's obviously a Ford fan as it replaced an H reg Sierra estate. The Prefect is used all year round by it's owners, have often shared a wave when I've been in mine and seen them in the middle of winter usually! That traveller has been owned by the same old boy since 1970 or something, and has covered about 350,000 miles IIRC. It's always trundling around!
EssDeeWon Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 A few more for you all here, the first three I snapped about 3 weeks ago Old Audi 80 Grim looking Mk2 Festa Carlton GSi And todays spots 22 March. Yank Tank Bluebird with tidal mark Beaten up Astra GTE A very sunny Sunny A Maz 323 on Rover wheel trims, making it just that little bit more shite Angrydicky and Skizzer 2
Shep Shepherd Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I see that 80 quite often. I'm amazed at how much surface rust it has.
purplebargeken Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 That was no Dolly, that was a Triumph 1300FWD. The Grandad of the Dolly. Some great spots. I am awaiting some Daf spottage as there are a few of them in Essex.
EssDeeWon Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 I see that 80 quite often. I'm amazed at how much surface rust it has. I always see it parked at a Garden Centre in Rochford, doesn't seem to have moved much lately. (Unless its always parked in the same place)
