Kinda cheating here, walking out of the NEC the other night - what's that at the end of the rainbow?

Got the nod from the driver of this Fantasia Green Lupo

Dropping some scrap metal off today, saw this old wagon and went to have a closer look

Bloke was working on this getting it ready for Bromley pageant.

He was a bit of a character to say the least! Also had this tucked away

Just down the road, one of the guys at the local garage has been doing up his T4 - on air suspension, just finished the paint

More bits at Fairmont - Camaro and Golf came from the NEC auction last weekend, along with an XJS. Chevy runs beautifully and is surprisingly quiet

Fairmont had a bit of an open day, plenty of interesting stuff dotted about all over the industrial estate, I expect there were lots I missed too as I only stayed an hour or so. Free coffee and pastries looked temping too!

Never did get mine on the road, still want one, just never got round to it and would look like a daft old twat if I did.

No, no, no, no, no. Do not stick 12" rims on a Mutant, and especially do not put a roof rack on it.

Now there's a rare thing, it has just reminded me of something I must put in the forgotten cars thread.

This one's odd. I thought it had to be one of those faux-vintage things used as a promotional vehicle. Badged as a Morris but comes up as an Austin from 1959. Any ideas?

And a TDI like mine but with a sunroof! Rare colour too

I think that's an Asquith Shetland, built on a Reliant Kitten or Fox chassis.

Don't often see this one without its very tatty cover

New stock at the classic dealer. Air-ride Beetle was OK but I preferred the Saaab

That SAAB is far better than that Bug. It seams to be a bit confused as to what it is meant to be. I've never understood why people mix vintage accessories with modern wheels. They must have spent a lot doing the car, but the concept is just mixed. I'd have put 6-volt style wing and headlamps on and gone for stock width 15" domed hub cap wheels with 135s on the front and 165s on the back, painted with a whit rim and a centre to match the interior.

 

That Ginetta looks fab by the way
