pompei Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Some spots from the last few weeks ... and 100 metres away ... One for cortinadave ... No prizes for guessing what this guy is into ... Standard Mudguard in matt black and side exit exhaust ... A brace of Hawks ... Midget gem ... One for Torsten ... Awaiting MoT ... Hyundai dealer plaque on the rear Back garden feature, Very tidy Civic, with plate worth ? times the value of the car ... Another garden ornament ... Manchester ... Abandoned Droop Snoot .. Lovely Scirocco ... And my fave ...
mouseflakes Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Crikey Pomps! What a fantastic haul!Agree with you on pick of the bunch.White Cav coupe ('SportHatch' was it?) is nice and I like the Land Crab that's wearing it's rear bumper the same way that Wilfrid from the Bash Street Kids wears his jumper.
VWPowered Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 love this have a mate who lives in poole into audi coupes not from round there issit hope he doesnt drive with the battery like that all the time lol how ruddy big are those tyres awesome spots, fav has to be the cavalier coupe
Albert Ross Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 A nice Military 88 chassis Long range (With lpg or compressor tank in place of 2nd tank) Series 3 FFR 24V ( no position for underbonnet batteries, therefore a pair between the seats.) Identifiable as S3 by the perpendicular front brake hose brackets and extra length reinforcing on the front dumbirons, Military by the square rear crossmember and oil cooler mounted on the chassis and the fact it has provision for LHD and the second tank mount , also the seat belt mounts on the body member behind the seats are a bit of a giveaway. I reckon somewhere between 1979 and 1983.....I thank you!
fordpoplier Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Fantastic! What a shite bonanza, the filler holding in indicator on the Fiat is classic
CortinaDave Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Fab spots.. Is that low spec cortina on the road ???? very rare now on an R reg... Looks like someone's started rubbing it down for a respray then decided they couldnt be arsed after all and kept using it as is.I like the cav sportshatch the best of the haul tho.. looks mint (apart from the flat)
pompei Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Yes the Tina is in use I think - I was also hoping to snap the stash of ancient Minis which are always parked next to it (except that day )
reallyloud Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 That Fiat 124 is magnificent, love to know how on earth this car survived. That Passat saloon is interesting too, the only ones I've seen in recent times are the estate models, usually with polish number plates and loaded up with building materials. I know VW badged the first saloons as the Santana, and revert back to the pissrat name a few years later - I can only assume they were trying to differentiate the 2 models, but we weren't fooled. The mk4 cortina is exactly how I remember them back in the day.
bigstraight6 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Spottage of the highest order! the rattle can black Standard is strangely appealing.
Mash Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Decided to venture north of the river then eh? If I'd known you were around you could have popped in for a cuppa; those Audi coupes are in the next village to mine!I first saw the Cav Sportshatch at a dealers in Hull and I've been trying to catch it for a while in the area. Maestro is a honey and was a minter but gets used in all weathers but still tidy.I haven't seen the Cortina before, there was a blue one in Beverley for a while but that disappeared a few years back. Fiat 124 is a new on on me.Great haul there and saved me a job or two! :lol:EDIT: Just noticed that my mum and dad's friends used to live at the house where the Cav now resides! Small world.
pompei Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Hey, Mash, the Cav and Maestro are in Beverley, and the Tina on Wold Road. I'm not certain, but I think that Cav was on the Bay not so long ago.The 124 is in Cleethorpes, seen it a few times but usually on the move.
Pillock Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 HAG, KAG, SAG, SAG, LAG... I do like it when local cars stay local
Spottedlaurel Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Plate on the Fiat would be excellent for me! Started its life round this way too, though a long time ago I'd imagine.The Cortina is fantastic, like DC says just as they would have been 15-20 years ago.Can't help thinking the Cavalier would look even nicer on its original rostyles and trim rings.Comedy badge overload and olde-worlde foglights on the Sunny.
Split_Pin Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Im wondering if my Uncles old Cortina OTS968R was indeed as rusty as this one. I remember my Auntie complaining of damp footwells mind... Take it 'AG' is a Grimsby number then?
CortinaDave Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 its a very very early one, one of the oldest left now i would have thought... FORD CORTINA 1600 L 4 DOOR SALOON 1593cc (25-11-1976) PETROLThe vehicle details for SAG 833R are: Date of Liability 01 04 2009 Date of First Registration 25 11 1976 Year of Manufacture 1976 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1593CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour YELLOW Vehicle Type Approval null The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry. Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle 6 Months Rate £101.75 12 Months Rate £185.00
Mash Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Take it 'AG' is a Grimsby number then?Hull, as from 1974 reshuffle.Also AT, RH and KH the three original marks. BT and WF for East Riding (Beverley area) up to 1974 then all changed to Hull marks after that. I'd love an old car with a local number but they're always the wrong car or the wrong time for me Nice that the Cortina still has its Crystal Ford dealer sticker
Gompo Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 ...Great spots, very much appreciated.Cheers, Greg.
pompei Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 Each time I see a HAG or NAG registration, I point out to Beloved that it's her personal plate. Why am I constantly bruised?
Mash Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Showed my old man these pics today as they still live in Beverley. He said the Cav owner had a Kadett Coupe on the drive too - might be in the garage.
