I bet this never thought it'd still be on the road in 2015 :-)

A quick big-up to my '81 Subaru MV, which passed it's MoT today with no advisories :-D

I guess that's the benefit of (1) being Japanese, (2) garaged when not in use, (3) never driven in the wet and (4) only doing about 250 miles in the last year (mainly taking shite to the tip)... oh, and ferrying the family boxer around :-)

That's a awesome old truck, I remember getting very flustered by it when you posted photos before.

What a lovely car! It is in truly incredible condition. I have always thought these Subarus look a bit Australian, for some reason. Your dog looks like he's about to drive off in it.

These little trucks are the dogs danglers in my totaly biased opinion,here's mine being silly and hanging with his new mate...  :-D

Yes great truck. I must get mine on the road, been laid up far too long. Mines the later one on a J plate.

That is truly a lovely motor. Goes particularly well with those white 8-spokes. There were loads of these pickups around in the 80s but it's years since I've seen one on the road here in Scotland.

Those stock Weller style wheels always look like they're on the wrong way round (spokes bend inwards). Other than that, they're awesome.

A local friend is getting one of these restored. In beige! Can't wait to see it once it's finished, but pics will be posted for sure.

These were everywhere in rural Aberdeenshire when I lived there . Not many survived due to the poor treatment they received I suppose . Shame really as they were a lovely tool
