FakeConcern Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 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 RobT and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 144As above, close guess.

FakeConcern Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Spotted in Bexhill the other day, a very tidy all steel Mini Traveller complete with trimz & actual wing mirrors in a lovely colour. RobT and mk2_craig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeConcern Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 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! How long does it take to get like this? I was impressed with the Rover & then in the same street I saw this... This Clio V6 was on the A11 or A14, you don't see these every day...

FakeConcern Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 As you may have guessed from all my recent posts, I've been looking at the photos on my phone, so in no particular order.... Spotted while out on my bike in Catsfield, looked yummy... Also when on bike, near Magham Down, I could live with one of these... In Brighton and looking over restored to my eyes and should this be in the late reg madness thread? Don't see these much now Giffer Volvo in Bexhill B&Q car park, I was going to get it from the back when I returned, but it had gone Tidy Starlet in Bexhill Not seen a Calibra for years & loved this one in Eastbourne despite (because of?) non standard wheels. Particularly crap pic as wife & daughter were looking at me strangely as I started to close in on it... Smiley transit in Ebo as well Great colour Vitara outside fish & chip shop Little Common 340 on silly wheels Norwich... 500tops, worldofceri and mk2_craig 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeConcern Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Mk4 is my least fave Golf, but I like this one... Haven't tried to search the number plate yet, so what is this? and from the side... looks sort of familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

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. LightBulbFun and FakeConcern 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeConcern Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 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 I see this Astra van when out on my bike near Magham Down, nice patina And this, I can't quite make out what this is in the field behind This tidy T2/T35? is pretty near as well and over the road is this LT, in fact having seen the one on ebay tat I thought of it In Hastings I spotted this Mundano, these are a really lovely shape, but I prefer the earlier front end nd Bucking the trend by having black tape on rear bumper... Also this Astra still in use and looking very original and along the front was this Hymer camper, is it Fiat based? In Lewes a nice mini and dented R5 Plus a Focus ST170, I reckon these will be collectable soonish Nice Mk2 Golf in Worthing And this interesting front garden Can't remember where I saw this nice Pug 406 Merc in Kemp Town Tiger 500 for sale in Rye Nice Mini in Ebo looking very original apart from nasty trimz Vitara in Ninfield A couple I often pass on my bike Rover 2000 and Sherpa with window left open Cooden , Bedford truck (ex GPO maybe?) rather nice old caravan Festering Festa 5 door 900, not keen on this, would like a turbo 3 door Auto Punto, how many of those left do you think? Fantastic aftermarket lights in grill I thought I saw another in Brighton, but it's the same one! Back in Bexhill a faded red Starlett in daily use MGF obviously out of use now Yummy Renna R26 What is this, looks familiar can't think what it is, Nissan 300SX maybe? Lastly, not shite at all, but I've never seen one before and in just the colours of a Mini 1275GT I had Soz for the mega post, just wanted to get rid of all those pics off my phone! catsinthewelder and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeConcern Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Today I spotted a couple of interesting cars in Bexhill, 1st an Espace (Mk2?) Fairly tidy looking... Twin sunroofs... A bit of lacquer peel and inappropriate racing stripes... Also a Belmont... So I thought I should look through my pictures for any other spots and found a few... In the back of Looses in Norwich... A Vanguard also in Norwich. I had a toy one of these when I was small, now I wonder if I still have it... Rusty Ovlov, fully loaded... Nice looking MG ZT, but lots of lacquer peel on roof bonnet and boot... I put this on the cars you didn't know thread as someone mentioned NSU Prinz... The Imp Californian also nice to see... Commer truck worth a look too... Dodge Charger in Hastings... I did a time trial over at Beachy Head last year and one of the participants turned up in this Fiat Coupe... The chap I bought some bike wheels from had this lovely Ovlov 740... In the back streets of Hythe... I love the 182 in Racing Blue... Especially with the optional stripes... Lastly a Corrado... It's a VR6 too... Dyslexic Viking, adw1977, puddlethumper and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeConcern Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 On the A11 on Monday I spotted a Mini in a layby... Unfortunately the bonnet was open... I was surprised to see it was the square clubman front... Yesterday in Bexhill a 75 with strange signwriting... And today while on my bike a Unimog... 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...

FakeConcern Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 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... 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... 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... Nice 940 still in use just down the road... 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... Later on spotted this Mk3/4 VW Golf Cabriolet in Bexhill...

FakeConcern Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 I don't think I've put this old shot of a Herald on before... Then today in Hailsham.. 75 Tourer... Smiley Transit... With a few accessories V40... 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.

FakeConcern Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 Ravenside Bexhill Tatty looking Pug in Appledore Kent Is this a GT4? The other was once owned by Princess Anne apparently... 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...

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.
