Jackytwoshoes' worldly spots

[Fabergé Greggs]

Going back a bit, but was that yellow Elan the one on *road name removed* in Dulwich? Hardly ever moves, that thing, and seems to drift between various states of disrepair, filthiness and flat tyres. There always used to be a white Amazon at the other end of the road.

The very devil. I always like it when you see cars such as this being used, parked on the street and not overly pampered. Although sadly in this case it sounds like it's a little under pampered. If it came to live with me I'd get the balance just right, promise.

 

When I get my lottery win the very first thing i will do is hot-foot it to Paul Matty and buy an Elan on the spot, such is my urgent desire to own one.

I moved away from South London a couple of years ago so it's nice seeing the spots in my old area; Sydenham, Penge, Crystal Palace, Dulwich, Herne Hill and Brixton. Don't know how long you've been there but there's been a massive change in who lives around there in the last 10 years, so a lot of the old regulars I used to see parked up as a kid had disappeared by the time I went.

 

Keep them coming *pushes rose tints up nose*.

Only lived here a couple of years, but the change is already noticeable. I saw that Elan on the way to work after picking up my C90 from Dave wilkins in Penge. He's bloody brilliant, so old school. Even though I could do it myself he's so cheap and quick that I go there anyway. There's an old Jag breakers in the same bit of yard hidden behind some houses, it's like a different world.

Honk honk. I'd love to roll in one of these

 

 

 

Look at these handsome fellows keeping peace and order on the streets

 

 

 

WOULD

 

 

What the? Another one? It's a sign!

 

 

 

Well done mate. Nailed it.

 

[Fabergé Greggs]

Couple of Brussels mopeds

 

Why are these just the best? So much want. Also in Brussels. 

 

Brussels imp. 

 

is it just the surrounds that are making this merc look dodgy as fuck? 

 

Next we are in Sicily. Imagine the terror of having this looming in your rear view. 

 

Excuse the framing, I took this whilst driving.

 

Further terrifying criminal defying weaponry 

 

Loadsa these 

 

Look at this mysterious honey 

 

Pair of babes

 

Pair of babes pt 2

 

2 wheeled babe

 

That's the 70's on the phone.. 

 

CHECK. THIS> OMG SWOON

 

Tasty Ducati

 

The beauty of an Amazon is that they look incredible no matter what condition they are. I would absolutely roll in this, gaffa and all. 

[Fabergé Greggs]

The perfect tow car

 

 

This is winning in some from or other 

 

 

Scruffy used 356. WIN

 

 

Scruffy used Jag, WIN

 

 

I fleetingly perved on these guys from above

 

 

P6

 

 

DO NOT WASH!!!

 

 

Another Jag

 

 

Intercepted!

 

 

DO NOT WASH Pt 2

 

 

I spot this guy pretty regularly at my local Tescos

The front-bumper-less XJ series 1 with Wolfrace wheels is exactly what I wanted in 1976. Hope it's a V12.

I spoke to the guy who owned it and he was talking about how he was going to put some 17"s on it for "better handling" 

 

[Fabergé Greggs]

Well this thread has been thoroughly ruined by photobucket... Hey ho, onwards!

 

This sits on a busy road in North London, scruffy and in daily use, unlike most of them which have must have succumbed to pineapples by now. I doff my cap. 

 

Was in Southern France recently and these little blighters are everywhere! Both the dreamy genuine 2 stroke RV90's and their less compelling 4 stroke Skyteam replicas, and Honda whatever they are and corresponding replicas. 

 

 

Check out this amazing Aston! This is in a mega posh bit of London where I work sometimes.Looks like it's  been wheeled out onto the street from some luxury abode and is happily collecting parking tickets at a cheaper rate than garage rent. There was no exhaust and from the way that the from is sitting maybe no engine. The photos do not do justice to how very dusty it was. MEGA. 

 

 

[Fabergé Greggs]

Orl Vauxhalls etc..

 

Satisfyingly crispy 

 

Flipping eck! This was absolutely motoring down the fast lane. I've seen plenty in magazines and books from my boyhood but I never ever expected to see one doing 100mph in the rain in 2017..

 

What exactly is this and can I have one please?

 

Rock ON! Would absolutely love to commute on this.. and what's that.. a pull start?? Brilliant. 

[Fabergé Greggs]

This Accord is clearly appropriately adorned with cones, giffer pads and framed ariel photographs of London's financial district. 

 

A mini, but scaled up by 15%

 

I 1000% would roll in this. 

 

I think I posted this in the bikeshite thread, but I think it warrants another go at fame. 

[Fabergé Greggs]

Foxy camper! Is it a fox? Anyway I later overtook it on the motorway at a closing speed of about 60mph and I'm pretty sure I was doing about 65mph. 

 

Ho ho ho! Look at this! Just look at it! All sorts of wrong and right! 

 

Do not paint etc.. 

 

Look at this little munchkin! I made especially sure not to forget what it was called so I could look it up but I'm afraid it's gone.. 

Oh look it says it right there.. Honda Julio 

 

This was truly at home in Rural Poland. Lovely...

.. aside from tat

Exactly what the badge on the back says!

[Wack]

Exactly what the badge on the back says!

Isn't that fantastic , never knew such a thing existed

[Fabergé Greggs]

Lolllss. It was more of a theatrical "What is THIS" to transport you all to the magical moment of spotting 

[Volksy]

That Aston was last taxed in 1990!

 

It sold at auction back in 1998 for £13500

 

But now seems to be a storage/theft issue - see below PH thread

Interesting- good find! I wonder what happened in the end...

[Fabergé Greggs]

Imagine my delight in spotting this in the wild. Do we know this person? 

[Dave_Q]

Don't think I've seen it before, but it is PENG.

Is it parked next to it's great-grandchild the Jazz? Or is that some other jap hatch like a Colt? All moderns, etc.

Yeah, it's parked in front of a 2008-2015 Jazz. Lovely vehicles

Oh yeah! Didn’t notice that as I was clearly blinded. It was slap bang in the centre of London so whoever loves it, loves it to the tune of £12.5 a day or whatnot 

[Fabergé Greggs]

This stopped me in my tracks and gave me one of those deep and quiet "this is why I love cars" moments. 

I mean, just look at it.
