Spottedlaurel Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Is that 100E the one out in Kent/Sussex borders? Looks like the one I photographed when on holiday down there last year?Mazda Spectron may have solved a small mystery, as I pass by one every day but only ever see the front of it. Looked to me like a Nissan Nomad with a Ford badge, but from your picture it seems to be an E-2000 type van with a different nose?I like the D-plate Sunny, looks as if started its life round my way judging by the plate.

Torsten2001 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ta Craig,Pov spec crapi is a local landmark although I've not seen the driver I believe it's a dotty old bird but it's rrrrrrruf! full of plod & hammerite, charming tho'!Spotted, yes, it's on the way to Rye, I left a note last summer, chatted to the fella and lost his number, I'll pursue it again soon. I think those Ford Spectrons are rebadged Mazdas but what i don't get is why are Mazdas badged as Fords in Japan, I assume it's a grey import?Tiang, must be an import but as it's a RHD one it must've come from a local island I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torsten2001 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Shame the 262 is so spoilt Wrecker, how much are they looking for it?

Torsten2001 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks Triang, there was an old biddy near me that used to cruise around on her C reg (1965) Lambretta with Disabled stickers!

Spottedlaurel Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Interesting to see the Golf has lost it's bumpers, probably sold for £££'s to someone in the scene. Not quite early enough to be a swallowtail though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 what's a swallow tail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Swallowtail = small rear lights - and that one is! In about 1980 they enlarged the rear lights and fitted bigger, plastic bumpers.Funnily enough, I went past that house with the Golf and Sierra in the drive last Friday, it's on the A406 just outside Chiswick. Also had a dead-ish looking P-plate Xantia that may have been an Activa (and therefore 100% shite!). There's quite a few dusty, mouldy old cars on driveways along that stretch of road, but nothing quite as interesting as that Golf. I tried to see if it was a GTI but noticed that the front grill was missing, I couldn't see the back of it from the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 It's an LS, according to the dvla it's a 1.6. I spotted a dusty c reg Fiat, maybe a Regata down the road but it's all red route down there so couldn't stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Swallowtail = dip below the rear number plate and small rear lights, think it was only done on the first year or two, and they command a premium. I guess it makes them go faster or something due to some subtle aerodynamic improvement?...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I stand corrected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
