Very nice MK3 Capri, an unusual 3.0S too. Local registration as a bonus

Billy no mates camper with tiger print interior 

Black open air Lupo I've seen before at BuM, but usually it's facing in

Camo Metro (behind the Astra)

Pug in a barn

And another Lupo but an SDI

A few interesting motors outside the toy fair on Friday

Looks a nice Capri that does, there’s loads of Capris left but very few that are any good or have been restored properly.

That's not listed on their web site.  Maybe it will turn up in a week or so. I do like an Aubergine Ford

I'd not seen any interior colour other than black in a MK1 before, looked good. Used to know a guy with a '69 in that colour with a Webasto roof, not many about that's for sure

Looks like it was sold within the trade, just going on the Transporter

Saw this in a pub car park today, looking like it had just been retrieved from a barn.

Let's hope it goes to a deserving new home. These 50's cars are getting rarer and often get in such a state they are only good for parts.

It does not look too bad but they are part aluminium on a wood frame - they can hide all kinds of horrors.

The Kermit green is the kind of colour a young student owner would have painted it in the 1970's - when it was their first £75 car 😁

New project for @vulgalour???

[lesapandre]

Not aware it's for sale - though of  course it may end up online in due course. Would benefit from very careful inspection before purchase in any event.

Many of the difficult issues with these BSA Automotive cars were covered on his most excellent Lanchester tread.

Handsome old thing - a bright colour suits it IMHO - not so dowager dutchess as the darker hues.

There was a chap who lived in Brentwood in the 90s who had about a dozen of them dotted about. No idea what happened to him or his cars

Love the wonky headlights.
