barrett Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 It was an estate, so Deffo a Lada. Doubt a Fiat would have lasted that long this close to the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Eh? Scott man...of course they sold Fiat 124 Estates in the UK...(they also sold them in the US - pointless fact; Charles Manson ran round in one for a bit, before he did what he did...) I realised it was an Estate, but the Fiats have clear indicators, that was all. It might not have been 'seaside' that long... Evidence...I give you Chevy Chase crashing into Ballard Berkeley...

barrett Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I actually went to find some archishite but the tat was an added bonus. The 124 was one street down from these, that were opposite a Connell, Ward and Lucas house from 1934 These were just down the road And I think we've seen this one before, but it's worth a front view danthecapriman, mk2_craig, Petrolize and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Blimey. That blue/cream 2CV is rather tasty. A one-year paint scheme. I saw none of these winning machines when I was in Sussex, though I did see a CX Prestige so perhaps shouldn't complaint. 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Love seeing this thread getting added to......This time, please, I want that Polara and the J4 dampervan (Daihatsu would look great A-framed behind it as a ground floor extension) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecapriman Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Love the Dodge. Looks a bit out of place on a British terraced street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Well I hoped you enjoyed that, because here's SOME MORE. All from an afternoon stroll today. There's an (ex-BT?) Sherpa under there CF #1 This old Pug was very appealing. Don't often see them in actual colours these days CF #2 Another flipping 2cv First time one of these has caught my eye. I assume it's quite an early one and it looked in fantastic condition. Great green interior too Really horrible and not in a good way Lovely little Fiat, at the end of the road where I grew up Sherpless ice cream How good doesn't his early Italian -registered Golf vert look? Don't really care for these normally, but that little reg plate really makes it CF #3 Loads of stuff huddled together over a couple of roads,in only snapped half of it as the other stuff was mainly scene DUBZ yo Alexg, Angrydicky, The Moog and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoda_fan Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Blimey, I need to move to Sussex. I'd be lucky to spot even one vehicle as interesting as any of those in about six weeks round here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I actually like the Corsair! Apart from the shit wheels, that is....Like you with the Golf on Italian plate I think its the Bournemouth reg that does it for me, maybe... That 190 (carby one if the badge is to be believed...) is a good five years into production and one of the nicest colour ways. I like these early ones with no cladding. Some great spots again - does indeed seem to be a fertile ground down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hi! Just a short update this time, as the weather makes this stuff increasingly difficult. Actually most of these are 'historic' spots that have been hanging around for a while, like this Minor round the back of the place we get our van MoT'd I saw this dodgy Crabvan back in July! Since all over the ebay tat thread Another crusty Minor, seen somewhere in London This was on Amy Winehouse's old road, or something. Seen whilst hunting for Modernist houses and getting lost, not on a 'places Amy used to be' guided tour This was seen on the same day, looked really clean Tesco carpark spot. This was full of barking dogs and looked DISGUSTING. I was driving the ex-angrydickie Atlantic so hopefully looked like less/more of a nutter jumping out and taking a photograph French reg'd squarelamp Deux in Brighton A very yellow Visa at a local-ish car meet Funny camper thing that I assume is much newer than it looks. Hayling Island Another, deader white Maestro, also Hayling Island And that's it! Doubt there'll be much more activity til next year now. It's been a real pleasure. I hope you enjoyed ME mercrocker, Alexg, Spottedlaurel and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexg Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 That Italian plated Golf is a great spot. Love those silly front number plates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Actually, here are a few more. Sorry. This slightly scruffy Jag looked pretty good, and I don't usually take much notice of these things. ZX was a couple of cars down. Not that old or special but in that proper 'old banger' condition you don't really see anymore Today's spots were this deluxe dogging chariot And this, which I think is a different one from last time This Astra is gloriously shonky. My favourite recent spot Jim Bergerac, mouseflakes, Alexg and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I have admired that Mk1 Jag myself...Was on body coloured wires last time with a peeling back bumper. Always preferred these to the Mk2 but it really needs disc wheels and spats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 I finished work when it was still just about daylight today. Can't remember the last time that happened. Celebrated by mopping up a couple of 'known but not photographed' spots in Horsham. This Fiesta was behind the house with the Fiat outside, I would guess the Uno was this one's replacement. It's much rusted than it looks here Also long out of use by the look of it. Check out the scuttle rust on this! Another small rare Japanese van. Not sure I've ever seen one exactly luke this before I quite liked this, not sure if it was still in use but it looked very clean, in a surprisingly nice street of '30s houses Another red Ford. Tidy and obviously loved That's it for now mouseflakes, mercrocker, CGSB and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 That Liftback's showing as being T&T'd, so would imagine it is in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethj Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Because I'm ancient and I remember seeing V registration cars like that Toyota when I was in school, it's not old to me. My Volvo V70 is V registration at the other end of the plate and even that's old to most people. Good spots by the way, nice to see some Japanese micro van love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Funny how Radiant Red on a Sapphworth makes it look like an LX based replica. Felly Magic and mk2_craig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Good point there Roadwork, it does look like an LX with a bumper swap, esp as late models were colour coded. Nice to see it looking standard, and not Barried, like many Sappy Cossies have been. Brilliant thread barrett BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Because I'm ancient and I remember seeing V registration cars like that Toyota when I was in school, it's not old to me. Because I'm ancienter, I never remember seeing V registration cars like that Toyota. I remember seeing V registration cars like this Toyota. mk2_craig and Sudsprint 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
