[Lord Sterling]

Brilliant pics SD1. The G-reg Sapphire was a particular highlight fae me as I owned F230TAR - a Black Sierra Sapphire years ago when I was young and wet behind the ears.

[Angrydicky]

Hope EssDeeWon doesn't mind if I stick in some stuff he didn't manage to pap!

 

I found this lovely little Renault 6 hiding in the visitors car park, which was a shame really.

 

 

Peerless GT. Is this GarethJ's old one?

 

 

Last but not least this Tatra T-600 was absolutely amazing. It was parked next to an Austin Atlantic, and seeing two of my favourite ever cars there made my day! The Tatra was nicely patinated as well.

1987 Sierra 1.8L

1987 VW Golf CL

 

 

That's all....for now.

[Angrydicky]

I think the guy with the Triumph 1300 used to have a pair of MK4 Zodiacs, a saloon and estate. I recognise where that's parked and the estate used to be parked in that spot. Haven't been to that particular area for a while though. Is that old Manta still rotting there? There also used to be a tidy Volvo 340 saloon on a 'A' plate parked around the corner from there on The Drive, no idea if it's still there though.

 

Sierra looks tidy, is that the one you were talking about that's currently for sale on bumtree or something?

[EssDeeWon]

Hi Dicky yep the green Manta is still rotting away in Somerset Avenue.

 

Not seen the A reg Volvo in The Drive so I suspect its gone, I have cycled up there twice in the last week and didnt see it   was it metallic red on local plates? I saw it around Rochford a couple of years ago but before I started papping chod unfortunately.

 

Thats the one (white Sierra 1.8L) I posted it on Ebay Tat and noticed it was in Rochford, I managed to locate it up Canewdon View Road (Ashingdon) yesterday evening.

[Angrydicky]

Yeah that's right, metallic red with Continental Cars 'for Volvo in Southend' dealer plates. I do hope it's still around as it was in really clean condition.

Will keep my eyes peeled for it, I used to see it parked in Rochford Square but not seen it for probably about a year or so now....

[EssDeeWon]

OK lads here are some more chod spots from Westcliff-On-Tat

 

1968 Ford Corsair showing as untaxed since 1994!! Just happened to be in the right place at the right time to pap this. Looks like its just been pulled out of very long term storage, wonder if it was being saved or scrapped?

 

1980 Bedford CF Camper

 

1979 Allegro VDP

 

1988 Escort RS Turbo

 

Tatty Fiesta 1.3i LX

 

1990 Mitsubishi Lancer

Hmm not sure whats happening with this Orion, Unfinished project never to be finished I expect

 

Early MK3 1.1 LX

 

Fairly un-interesting Minor

 

Whats this? Belongs to a local Hotel but not seen it about before

Think this is a 1986 D reg, picked up some form of parking ticket since I last saw this.

 

1989 VW Scirocco

 

Lada Riva 1300L at the Bell lights

 

Thanks for looking.

[Rusty Pelican]

Your area is so full of chod its mindblowing , thanks for posting 

[Angrydicky]

Good to see the Austin 10/4 is back outside the Grosvenor, that disappeared a few years ago. I expect it was being restored.

Does that Aggro VDP belong to the guy who used to have that yellow XJ6? Sure I recognise the driveway. Hope the Corsair does get saved, it does look quite rotten, but they are worth a fair bit now, so fingers crossed.

[Angrydicky]

Also, BLOODY HELL WHERE HAS THAT RIVA BEEN HIDING! I haven't seen a Riva in Southend since that rough red estate with the gaffer taped bonnet edge disappeared from Westcliff around 2009-10.

[EssDeeWon]

Does that Aggro VDP belong to the guy who used to have that yellow XJ6? Sure I recognise the driveway.

 

Yes spot on! The guy sold that yellow XJ6 on ebay recently and mentioned he was buying an Allegro so I couldnt resist going past and having a look when I was in Westcliff on Saturday morning 

[Angrydicky]

Local reg too, think it's on Mann Egertons plates.

[EssDeeWon]

Some more tat spotted in Eastwood this evening.

 

First up this...what is it plz??

 

Also in this yard was this stag and 2 Bedford CF's and a Bubble car

 

Bentley, outside a local Rolls and Bentley garage

 

Citroen ZX with all 4 wheels intact

 

Something old, yank and rather shite

 

Rough LR

 

Beige Metro City X

 

Probably the worst ever case of useless cat piss tarp, whats under the shreds?

 

Not one, but two Renault 21's (the red one in front is an F reg)

 

One for the 2CV pervs

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Mystery maroon car possibly a Moskvich 412

[Parky]

I thought Moskvitch. The CPT looks like a Sunbeam Alpine.

 

Where the heck do you find all these!

Thanks Anon and Parky for identifying those 

 

@Parky, It seems this corner of Essex is still riddled with tat, I keep thinking I have found it all then come across more !!   I have 452 pics on my Flikr account and every single one was taken in the SS postcode.

[EssDeeWon]

Mystery maroon car possibly a Moskvich 412

 

Done some Google image research and this car does appear to be a circa 1969 Moskvich 412 iz

First up, this 1972 Viva looked luvly

Thanks for looking.

[Skizzer]

G301SWL on that 480?

 

Funnily enough my father bought a Land Rover from new with - oh, never mind.

[Parky]

I can see a trip to Southend coming up! Might go down Friday. There was a Seat and Suzuki dealer on the London Road and the side streets nearby were full of chod, most of which might be in this thread already!

[Skizzer]

^ According to HowManyLeft, 130% of the world's entire quota of chod is in this thread already.

 

I mean, who else cycles round the corner and trips over a Moskvich FFS? I'm starting to think that EssDeeWon is a Bond villain who's enticing us all to Southend, only to hold us to ransom for ONE MILLION POUNDS. Or a Tagora V6.

 

 

EssDeeWon is actually a rather good Bond villain name, now I come to think of it.

Or a Platinum silver Rover SD1 

 

I keep thinking Ive found it all but....I take the camera with me just in case and seem to always come back with at least 10 pics. This evening I only went out to finally pap that beige MK2 Fiesta  which I have driven past a dozen times lately.

[Parky]

Lots of chod in Basildon too. Outlaw is probably in Basilidon Hospital as we speak, admiring the chod out the window....
