AlabamaShrimp Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Spotted, surprisingly a couple of Mk2 Rover Sterlings in Birmingham on a mates and fellow colleagues road. One in "Lord Sterling" condition, off the road, flat tyres etc.. the other, a later model possibly used everyday in nicer, cleaner condition. A new Autoshiteism right there Dave_Q, holbeck and Lord Sterling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 This morning on the M25, a yellow BX towing an empty car trailer. Someone off on a collection? The BX had a Gti rear spoiler and 1.9 205 wheels, it looked a very smart thing indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holbeck Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 There's quite a few vehicles I see on my travels at work that I'm unable to photograph, A random selection.... Peugeot 205 more door, in a fetching shade of beige that has been abandoned - doors wide open - in a carpark at the back of Police headquarters at Exeter for several years. Morris LD Ambulance, UMM, Austin Metro and an Austin A40 all dotted around a small holding between Newton Asbo and Totnes. Honourable mention for a Triumph Toledo that had been quietly rusting away in a hedge at Fordgate near Bridgwater for well over ten years, including being completely submerged in the flooding a couple of years ago. Sadly now removed. I also get to see what the local fire brigade cut the roof off during training, most of which is not worth mentioning, but recently I noticed what looked like a nice cavalier CDi getting the cabriolet treatment, A Fiat Tipo also has been done in the last couple of years much to my disgust.

John F Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I went to the Skipton Classic Bike Show today, there were loads of interesting bikes there including a 1912 Triumph, a Brough Superior, a few Vincents, some Panthers, a Scott, loads of Tritons, early Jap stuff and several classic trikes, including a Pemberton with a Moto Guzzi engine. I didn't take any pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 In the village hall yesterday, aiding and abetting at an exhibition of local old photos, looked out of the window just as a pale blue MG 1100 / 1300 drove past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Just been up to Yorkshire for a few days. On the way up, I can't remember exactly where but it was nearer there than here, passed a Citroen C15 with the registration MY C15D! With that spacing. If he's not on here he really should be. Obviously couldn't really tell the condition but it was red, not faded pink. I'm not really a fan of personalised regs but that is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 There was a Rover SD3 on the motorway, but an early one with the clunky rear lights. Looked lovely. And then today I was sweating my arse off going up a very slight incline on my bike, when a MK1 Fiesta Popular in beige, adorned with many period GifferTrinkets, farted past me.

mercrocker Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Friday - stood in a charity shop down on the coast. Burble, burble - ooh what's that outside. Dashed out - Only a bleedin' Facel Vega HK500! Went before I could marshal Mrs Rocker on to her smartphone. Today - bike ride through the forest, took a side road I hadn't been down before - Gilbern Invader! Went out again a bit earlier with a camera but, predictably, its gone..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yesterday on the M1 near Hemel I saw a lovely Manta A, it was burgundy with rostyles and a black vinyl. I seem to remember these might have been a special edition .Also on M1 the shonkiest old Audi A4 I've ever seen A-Framing an immaculate late Mercedes W211 e- class, looked very incongruous.Talking of A-Framing, saw a Traction engine towing a coal trailer AND a ZX estate today, I'm not sure it was even an a-frame ,possibly just a rigid pole thing. I suppose at 5 mph it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisItalSLX Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Saw a full on giffer-spec Mazda 626 Hatch (GC) complete with flat cap wearing, bearded giffer behind the wheel and gifferette in the passenger seat. Also saw a black Rover 75, rare as hens teeth here in Oz.

Mr A Lawrence Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Last Friday in B&Q Chester as we were leaving there was an absolutely pristine W reg Capri 2.8i coming in. Missus nearly wet herself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 On my way home earlier I spotted a blue Citroen 2CV van waiting at the lights at the end of my road. Really nice condition and also RHD. Very nice... I then looked at its number plate as I passed. BBK 241M. So it's a local Portsmouth reg still in its home area, but even better is that my Capri registration is BBK 244M! They must have both been registered at the same time, same place and all these years later both still survive in their original locality. Pretty cool. Well I thought so anyway. I had to do a double take when I saw the reg plate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59Impala Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I was aimlessly standing on my driveway a couple of days ago and was surprised to see a Sierra go past. Even more surprise as it was a P100. Today I drove into lovely Spalding and a red B reg Orion went the other, looked pretty nice. And there was an old fart in a W reg Primera but then I realised that was me.

Zantimisfit Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Been in northern Sardinia. Seen a black TR7 convertible with old style black Italian plates. Milan registered. Earlier on saw a beige late model Mini Clubman Estate. But I have a picture of that for later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisItalSLX Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I had just dropped my Jag off to have the stater motor replaced and was walking to the train station when a series 1 Land Rover drove passed, but I did a double take when I saw the number plate, HUE 166. The first Land Rover? In Australia? Surely not? So I RAN up the street after it and reached it at the traffic lights where I realise it wasn't the real-deal. The colour was too dark and it just didn't look right, oh well, to good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
