Sort of spotted as actually spotted at my mates house!

 

First up he has two Land Rovers on his drive. He got the white one so he wouldn't keep driving the blue one as he liked it too much and was going to sell it, but didn't.

Next guess what's under here?

From the other direction?

You'll be doing well if you get it from these

In one of his garages, this is easier!

This one's not his, just in the garden two doors down & caught my eye

In the other garage, his latest pride & joy. We didn't get to go in it as it pissed with rain. He has promised to bring it to our house in the summer.

 

Nice and shiny!

He wouldn't even open the window for us to look inside!

Great place to keep a ladder!

Also several motor bikes, one of which can be seen in the window reflection above, but I didn't bother with pics of them

I think it looks like a Bristol of some sort....

Not close with that, but it does look like it!

 

Volvo 164?    Porsche 914?

Close ish for the under cover one and Porsche 914 is the correct answer for the blue one in the garage.

 

Volvo 164 or 144

As above, close guess.

I also found a few more spots I'd forgotten about on my phone

 

In Brighton so it's probably already on SA Barrat's spotted thread, but oh well!

Also when on bike, near Magham Down, I could live with one of these...

IMG_7833.thumb.JPG.6bb3b9209d766f82963248bdabf63603.JPG

In Brighton and looking over restored to my eyes and should this be in the late reg madness thread?

Those Crown Taxis enjoyed quite a long production run. The one in your photos seems to have been imported direct from Japanese taxi service. Not sure it's been restored as such, since Japanese taxi drivers are fastidious about keeping their vehicles in good order. Some of them were fitted with motorised passenger doors which could be operated remotely by the cabbie.

Crown Taxis are/were also in service in Hong Kong and Singapore. I certainly remember them being at work in 2008 in Singapore.

Obviously all these are from a while ago as I've not been out..

This was a while ago in Folkstone, but I've since seen it in Hastings as well and it sounded great as it went past

722111257_IMG_8097-Copy.thumb.JPG.a993c0df5e6e3413eea51fe382bdc147.JPG

373232923_IMG_7774-Copy-Copy.thumb.JPG.3ebd1d5b95988e6f0ddbee6de43bec5b.JPG

This tidy T2/T35? is pretty near as well

IMG_9425.thumb.JPG.9962e86d6a229f25edbbb9d8eae7410f.JPG

1598959399_IMG_7756-Copy-Copy.thumb.JPG.2eecc0dc59365c27077e5762d181ed2a.JPG

In Hastings I spotted this Mundano, these are a really lovely shape, but I prefer the earlier front end

IMG_9626.thumb.JPG.0bbdfa79c7950046a3e138d4a0625ee2.JPGnd

Bucking the trend by having black tape on rear bumper...

IMG_9628.thumb.JPG.3d46b8985928f234d848f1f91d3f4bb7.JPG

Also this Astra still in use and looking very original

Today I spotted a couple of interesting cars in Bexhill, 1st an Espace (Mk2?)

Fairly tidy looking...

IMG_6023.thumb.JPG.3439fff817ff45c0f8367717863b630f.JPG

Twin sunroofs...

IMG_6024.thumb.JPG.6384fc4b5ab676542e140257d0688dd2.JPG

A bit of lacquer peel and inappropriate racing stripes...

IMG_6025.thumb.JPG.2cc860e2e00d702c3841d6316d0c1c15.JPG

Also a Belmont...

IMG_6026.thumb.JPG.6c11ddff93ce5ca9f4107e9d947dc80c.JPG

So I thought I should look through my pictures for any other spots and found a few...

In the back of Looses in Norwich...

IMG_4722.thumb.JPG.a403b154767d7f3f861499e586ea39cb.JPG

A Vanguard also in Norwich. I had a toy one of these when I was small, now I wonder if I still have it...

IMG_4749.thumb.JPG.1dde19feee8bfc280cfc8540cbd6d8a6.JPG

Rusty Ovlov, fully loaded...

IMG_4750.thumb.JPG.b5682e420ba5f77a7c0401f5874054c9.JPG

Nice looking MG ZT, but lots of lacquer peel on roof bonnet and boot...

IMG_5154.thumb.JPG.01811f657e6cb5567010f53f432a1b91.JPG

The Imp Californian also nice to see...

IMG_4974.thumb.JPG.4e910004a42c0d8960a406d3b15581d4.JPG

Commer truck worth a look too...

IMG_4973.thumb.JPG.66f5268d057d100e2a15a6ce9854a456.JPG

Dodge Charger in Hastings...

IMG_5155.thumb.JPG.2d49270019e6302d65be021391954636.JPG

I did a time trial over at Beachy Head last year and one of the participants turned up in this Fiat Coupe...

IMG_5181.thumb.JPG.a0e0c39ba17c1641dc036fbfef57f953.JPG

The chap I bought some bike wheels from had this lovely Ovlov 740...

IMG_5314.thumb.JPG.a87ef498fc6695fdd19931f3ffa2632b.JPG

In the back streets of Hythe...

IMG_5315.thumb.JPG.747cffed06eb9d40ca5b205ecb4da409.JPG

I love the 182 in Racing Blue...

IMG_5415.thumb.JPG.b6ab5546b6075150b64f47ceaeb05ff3.JPG

Especially with the optional stripes...

IMG_5416.thumb.JPG.2858ee0299ca37c501496ea94fffd372.JPG

Lastly a Corrado...

IMG_5468.thumb.JPG.001c11c37f3631589847d45f61791b5e.JPG

On the A11 on Monday I spotted a Mini in a layby...

MiniA11.thumb.jpg.44749dc863290f918b9acc0b77b40c53.jpg

Unfortunately the bonnet was open...

I was surprised to see it was the square clubman front...

MiniA11a.thumb.jpg.7d1339feabd165bb34866823dba4efa0.jpg

Yesterday in Bexhill a 75 with strange signwriting...

IMG_6031.thumb.JPG.7866b5e08aac845a1e1fc9b46225cfd5.JPG

And today while on my bike a Unimog...

IMG_6040.thumb.JPG.1f380216372dfc4dbb4febbf0a8b314f.JPG

I saw it the other day but didn't bother to stop. Why is it on a Q plate and why does it not have/need an MOT? Also showing as blue...

On my bike again and I often go through Hankham (Fnarr fnarr) where the garage often has interesting cars outside or where you can see them peeping out.

I’ve seen both ends of a blue XJS and I had been waiting to get a proper shot of it, but as that may never happen, here’s the tail end...

IMG_6049.thumb.JPG.9c362a6f2a18d067a1be3744927dbe80.JPG

Also peeping out is a Mini I’ve not seen before with Sport Pack arches although Total Car Check says it’s a Mayfair and been off the road for some time...

IMG_6051.thumb.JPG.9da1eb2319fa6f5901970949e84194af.JPG

Over the road some interesting cars in a front garden

Hyundai Coupe and V70 both not moved for a while, the V6 75 has been used fairly recently...

IMG_6048.thumb.JPG.63ec56a2aa02a443b238b124e0816cf6.JPG

Nice 940 still in use just down the road...

IMG_6065.thumb.JPG.dbedd581530bcf06dedc9ab7114ba56c.JPG

A bit further down the road a couple of vans rotting in a field although both have moved around the field not too long ago...

IMG_6052.thumb.JPG.1a88056877d6272d0af7221dd5c3bdbe.JPG

IMG_6053.thumb.JPG.9a8a2716925d4ae5712e7f1519ce5cd0.JPG

Later on spotted this Mk3/4 VW Golf Cabriolet in Bexhill...

Just as I was getting in the Modus an old chap came and asked me why I was interested in those cars number plates, I think he thought I was planning to clone an old Transit and Ovlov haha. Mrs Concern was very embarassed.

Is this a GT4? The other was once owned by Princess Anne apparently...

IMG_6259.thumb.JPG.fe8a191663822182ff7d904ed8058658.JPG

A Mini Moke style kit car I'd not seen before Jimini2, I don't usually like this sort of thing, but this looks nice and well finished up close. Still registered as a Mini Neon Ltd Edition though...

IMG_6257.thumb.JPG.d71ddfd528c209cba2dbae927d777fa0.JPG

Crappy generic/trailer rear lights

Rickney? Is it near the garage down there?

(Back of beyond, for everyone else.)

If you'd carried on past the Spridget/Herald/whatever up the hill and eventually to a T junction, turn right past Hankham garage, fork right and down the hill it's on the left at the bottom before Rickney Farm and Rickney sewer.
