Update as I've been lazy and not bothered resulting in a whole load in one go.

In no particular order...

First at a toy fair recently, this said "Mercury" on it, but other than that I have no idea

Traction Avant in West St Leonards

Old V40 in Hankham

I do like a Focus ST partly as it's almost the same thing as my C30 I especially like them in Electric Orange

Can't remember where I saw it

T25 thing with silly Porsche wheels in Worthing

Should put this Renner in the laquer peel thread really, it lives just around the corner

Nice little Fiat pick up in the DLWP car park

I annoyed Mrs Concern by stopping to take pics of this Beetle while we where on our bikes in Lewes

then stopped again for this patinated Sunbeam (posh) Imp

I meant to see if it has an MOT

I saw this in the middle of no where a few times while out cycling and still have no idea what it is, I thought it was some sort of forward control Land Rover to start with

Another one I see when out on my bike a very nice Xantia Estate

Spotted in the middle of Woodchurch Kent with obligatory Only Fools and Horses reference

At Ardingly Antiques Fair last year

OVLOV

BMW of some sort

From the pasenger seat of Mrs Concern's Modus a couple of blurry pics of a Serpico

In Deal Kent, is this an Econoline?

Elan Sprint I've seen a few times in Newenden

Lastly a Mk1 Transit near Horsham, I can't remember when I last saw one

What a strange coincidence that we posted the same vehicle at almost the same time!

I took that photo 10 Oct 23

 

[High Jetter]

I thought it was just visiting as have never seen it before, but as you saw it 6 months ago it must live round here somewhere.

[FakeConcern]

Or visits often, I saw it in the same place a couple of months after that photo too. Both times it looked like the owner was camping there.

[FakeConcern]

I have about five million pics to add to this thread as I haven't updated it for a year, but instead of doing that I'm going to add just one spot atm and tag @bunglebus...

I agree on the colour of the 1600E but I believe it is long term owner and great to see it used properly.

Here it is at 1:48 in 2022 in Cortina D’Ampezza, I knew I recognised it.‘

Totally agree! I have a Volvo C30 T5 which is the same as a Focus ST so an RS would be even more fun I'm sure.

'Pandragger', for the lowest of the low.  They used to put castors on the bottom to stop the sump and what have you striking the ground in the very old days before hydraulic suspension.  I suppose the idea of a 'fixed' lowrider would seem ridiculous, today, but that's what there was!  The first hydraulic cars used aircraft bits to go up and down.  

I don't dislike the truck, but have never been the biggest fan of the 'rat' look, on the basis that it's limited to flat black, chrome, rust and red oxide.  They're fine, but once they've been done, they've been done.  There's a lot more variety on the other side of the coin.  Imagine said truck cleaned and re-done in the candy color(s) of your choice...  

[FakeConcern]

Hopefully this will bring me totally up to date
