Cavcraft's cavalcade of crap. Local honey.

[Cavcraft]

Think I'm 'officially' a driver now, so expect more automotive old bollocks now and then.

Today's offerings...

[Cavcraft]

Monday I missed a bloody 'C' reg Freight Rover van that looked really tidy, as was driving. Next time I'm back in that area I'll have a little scout.

Today's effort was finally getting the chance to photograph this XJS...

Sorry @Cavcraft don't know if there's a general spotted thread so I've nicked yours 😜

been meaning to photo this for yonks. Owd lad still using it as a daily driver. I believe @HarmonicCheeseburger is in the valley same as me so maybe he has seen it too

I think Vectra estates of this era have aged very well, would that be Satin Red?

No problem, captain!

Other side of town today, looked amazing.

WANT!

I actually saw a black Saab limousine today, but wasn't camera ready. It looked as rough as a freshly sandpapered badger's arse, hope to spot it again one day.

[Cavcraft]

GAME OVER, INSERT COIN.

 

 

Owner says 'O' series petrol (so I assume 1.7) and that he uses it as a day van for the odd run out to places with his wife.

[vulgalour]

It could be a 2 litre, but a quick govcheck shows it is the 1700.  They'll not be getting anywhere in a rush with that.

[Cavcraft]

Unseen in the bottom photograph is (I think) a Toyota Tercel, or something like that.  

[Cavcraft]

That there London, today...

The fella who owned this was a proper nice bloke, had a brief chat with him in a petrol station somewhere near East Molesey

[Cavcraft]

Keep seeing this class old Vauxhall about, so must be local. Managed to get some photos today...

[Cavcraft]

This has probs featured on here before, so soz not soz. Looks fantastically crusty so great to see it's still being used...

LOL, think its well known in this area.. bloke next door had 2 RR Vanden Plas for years, then a load of K11 Micras

[Cavcraft]

The owner of the lovely Trojan was kind enough to let me sit in it. He'd rebuilt it on his drive, it was absolutely ace.
