My spottings, old and new - tarmac yer drive


Recommended Posts

Posted

It's a Morris Oxford, the later version of which became the basis for the Hindustan Ambassador. (The Morris Major was an Australian market car and was rather different).

Anyway, where on earth do you live, Mr Bunglebus? Spotting any one of those vehicles would make my day. Never see anything vaguely interesting around here.

Well I live near Chelmsford but I get about a bit! That one was near Greenhithe in Kent, the guy regularly has classics on the drive, think there are a couple of Morris Minors next door too. Annoyingly I had to stop on a main road in a van to pap it, did note the plate but somehow deleted it...

The Morris Oxford is cool. A chap had one for years in The street I grew up in, it was an old car then !

Interesting thing to note is if you look at the head on view of that type of Oxford & compare it to the original Mini they look quite similar.

Good spots man!!  That purple Monty and the beige Cortina estate! Brilliant!

One of those spots on the previous page is at the end of my road in Rayleigh.

Ripping out a shop this week, took all the steel to a scrapyard (not that we got a penny for it) but these delights were all lurking, and all for sale apparently
