this ones got my name on it..but i only want the plate...

[Albert Ross]

Love the Interceptor!As regards the Capri in the 1st pic, I used to drive a Hi Ace van around London B233 EOM!

[55bloke]

Superb photos, and great spotting! Was that D reg Toyota photographed at Duxford?

[fordpoplier]

good spots! Looks like you waited for the passengers to get out of the xmas tree metro before sneaking back for a close up

[michiel]

Excellent work - love the Bluebird wagon, and that white Starlet looks 519 times better than mine...

[Dead_E23]

Is it a Jensen FF (twin vents on the wing)?

It is - which of course means 4 wheel drive and antilock brakes. Pretty advanced for its time!

[Split_Pin]

 

For me this has everything a Mini should have.

 

-non-sporting spec-Check

-Correct tin-foil wheeltrims. Check

-Early 70's era. Check

-Number plate moved to grille. Check (I think all Minis, once they reached 9 years old, had to have the plate moved up there by law!)

-Period motoring accessory store mudflaps. Check

- Mirrors on wings. Check

-Correct rear badge. Check.

 

This is the sort of car that would have made me late for playgroup in the early 80's.

[VWPowered]

wicked spots

 

 

i had one of these bloody great car it was

 

car for me has to be the firenza.. very retro...

[mk2_craig]

Echoing Iain's comments...

 

 

For me this conforms to some sort of legislation that says 50% of all old Minis must be owned by bellends who promise to fit the wrong plates, cheap clear rear lenses with pink and yellow bulbs, ill-fitting round mirrors and hilarious slogans on the window cut from low-grade vinyl by a guy in the back of an old Transit at a Mini show near you. Mountney wheel and silencerless exhaust de rigeur. I'd gladly support a law giving the owner 7 days to return it back to City E spec or watch it getting crushed.

 

Thanks for posting the pic and giving me a decent rant Retro!

I really should get my mini out again soon.... I'ts very standard and staying that way.. Poo brown FTW!!

My mate has a Mini which he is building to a strange spec, it was a 90s Mayfair with a blown up autobox, all that has been whipped out along with the interior. Looks-wise it is going to have the much-unloved 80s Austin Morris black grille. Fair enough but what's going in the engine bay, probably a hot 1275 or 1380 or something? No - a Daihatsu 1.0 Turbodiesel! Much lighter than the old A-series and about the same power, but smoking around with up to 100mpg! Most interesting.

Love the Vauxhalls and the Mk1 P6. Does the red Bedford CF have a Ford engine - it looks like the grille has been altered to read FORD?

COOL. For maximum comedy effect I hope he sources a replacement autobox.

It's registered with a 2279cc engine, which is the 2.3 Vauxhall unit.

[pompei]

Love the 2 Metros at the tip and with the A badge.I like the way the FF owner has "secured" it with a ten pound steering wheel device that can be removed in 3 seconds

[seth]

I'm amazed the DVLA let this combo of letters get used!

 

 

Fantastic spots. Something for everyone!
