Recent spottage

[Ghosty]

So I spent Tuesday to Sunday of last week in That London. I was on RobT's manor for a couple of days, as it happened. (Sorry I didn't have time to stop by - on  my one spare evening I passed out from too much walking in the sun!) 

 

Here are some assorted spots: 

 

 

Clio with a serck rear plate.

 

 

Transit mk2 catering van, had a little trailer too. Caribbean food of some sort - was in Camden.

 

 

Cube. Note fake Costcutter in the background. (There's a fake Tesco Express in Bromley too, two doors down from an actual one).

 

 

Tidy early Mondeo.

 

 

Proton Compact (Bishops Stortford).

 

 

London giffer spec Sunny in Whitechapel.

 

 

This is the T4 from that thing eBay and that Mystery Machine bloke from the blue forum made for a disabled woman. The slotmags poke out when you look at it from the front.

 

 

Monster Merc in the services carpark. Battered pressed steel plates too.

 

 

Another Mondeo - saloon this time (BS again).

 

 

Another saloon, in Beckenham now.

 

 

Lowly Compact.

 

 

Late 405 estate.

 

 

What is this? It has badges that look a bit like Oldsmobile and some that read 'Scorpion'.

 

 

Hi Rob!

 

 

190.

 

 

W123 - there seem to be two or three of these about Beckenham.

 

 

Both of these budget performance cars were wearing Speedline wheels. Not sure if an option on the Impreza, but the 'rado is a VR6.

 

 

Papped this as I can't remember what the wheels are off. Anyone??

 

 

 

Not sure what this is.

 

But what's that in front of it?

 

 

CORSA B VAN

 

 

Shite drive out in Downe.

 

 

LOL

 

 

Giffermatic and fake wood inside.

 

 

 

 

OMGMGB Sherpa Sport Ultimate Edition (MG RV8). Sounded very nice.

 

 

CRUSTY CORNER

 

 

Shite spec pineapple bus.

 

 

Damn camera (it's an Oxford).

 

 

Megane coupe (NOT PUMA ETC) to finish.

Great spottings, there, little red funster is a Turner (made in Wolverhampton in the late 50s/early 60s) and ones this shape generally rock an A series....

I want to go camping in that Monster Merc. I reckon I could park that up overnight in any railway depot I liked and nobody would bat an eyelid.

The H-reg Sunny struck me as being unusual, would be a very early one (and I didn't think UK sales had started by then). Turns out to be an import.

1. Mahindra

2. 90's reinterpretation of a slot ag by Wolfrace.

3. Turner

 

 

Edited to apologise for repeating what Mercrocker had already said.

Blimey, you covered some ground.  Where did you spot the manky Cav?

Cheers - sorry I've negelcted to check this.

 

That Cav's on the road from Bromley Common to Petts Wood (walked Beckenham-Downe and back).

Some good spots there. Nice work.

 

Oddly I saw another B reg Mercedes in the same style as that one you saw, and also parked at a service station. And then I saw the one you spotted trundling along the M4. Both today. Hmmm.
