Lovely Camaro

Friend!

In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find them... maybe you can hire... The Autoshite Team

Also - Humber Sceptre

[bunglebus]

Lupo in the lesser spotted green

[Schaefft]

A few spots from around Milan and lake Garda.

[bunglebus]

Lovely yellow bug, red interior has to be a re-trim

 

[bunglebus]

I don't really notice BMWs newer than the E30, but this clean E36 318is caught my eye

 

[bunglebus]

Heard a rumbling outside work today, which was emanating from this

Which was duly unloaded next to this

[bunglebus]

Mildly pogweaseled Corolla

[bunglebus]

A couple of nice ones outside the toy fair. And a Saab @andrew e was getting excited about

Plus a couple of others I saw on the way home

[bunglebus]

I don't really like R4s as the wonky gutters annoy me. However this one is very clean

Then there's whatever this is, bombing along the M1 at 70+

Lastly - a Lupo

[bunglebus]

That ^ is a 96 year old Bentley. Fair play to the bloke giving it the beans in lane 3

Also saw a gold DB6 going round the M25. Is it Drive it Day?

[bunglebus]

Slightly odd one. Papped this as it pulled away, had "prototype vehicle" on the back, 0 emissions according to the DVLA

And a Nissan Largo apparently

No visible exhaust pipe. Battery powered, maybe?

its down as a 2L Petrol for what thats worth...

vehicle makers do seem to have some sort of arrangement with the DVLA where for prototype vehicles, they can hide most of the details from showing on the DVLA's 1st party site, but they are still recorded on the database and rather amusingly pretty much all 3rd party checkers and even the DVSA's MOT checker, ignore the "please hide this info" flag, so all you have to do is punch the reg into any number of 3rd party websites or even the Government's own  MOT checker to glean the hidden info  

the 0g/Kg CO2 emissions thing is just a place holder for when no emissions data is record, its like that for current historic vehicle registrations as well, they all just go down as 0g/Kg

im not sure why they do that mind when I know there when there is a No Data available option for that field, as is used on vehicle records that date from before they introduced the emissions info as a data point on the V5

but there ya go

I'd never noticed that detail before! One for the 'once seen, can't be unseen' thread I reckon? What were the designers thinking when they created those bizarre lines?! The gutters look odd, along with the rear door edge standing proud of the rear quarter. trim which makes the rear door appear to not sit flush. Too much vin rouge methinks...

It’s not just me then!

Always good stuff at the boot sale

I quite like these little Savvys

This thing gets trailered everywhere 

[bunglebus]

Amethyst Rover

 

[bunglebus]

A couple seen out tonight, Fiesta classic is clean

And I think I've snapped this before, with a plate I'm sure would be popular with fans of a certain soccer club

[bunglebus]

This Maltese import 1300 is gorgeous 

And so is this Monza 

[bunglebus]

More inside

Not a Ferrari person (and this isn't a Ferrari), but I could pretend I was Ferris Bueller in this

 

[bunglebus]

One more

An odd fire vehicle I found today

Another Triumph

And a Corsa I saw the other day

[bunglebus]

That Harold ^ is apparently Nora Batty's from LOTSW

I had a TC, at the time it was PDQ. Properly built too.
