My spottings, old and new - tarmac yer drive

Slim pickings at the moment, just this Ashtray lurking at Tesco.

I wonder if people take pictures of my mum's one when she goes out?

I cannot remember if I papped this before, but I drive past it almost daily. 

Never seems to move

Out on a bike ride for the first time in a year, saw a few tatty old shonkers along the way

 Quite surprised to find a tatty Sapphire, has a leather interior and Ghia badges but not two-tone - 2000E?

Very scabby looking Focus next to someone spannering on their Golf. Don't think this one moves

Can't remember if I managed to picture this one before, I know I put the WH05 YET Skud in the number plate thread

For years there was a red Hilux parked here with the bed of a VW Taro on it. Don't know if it's the same one but this looks smart

These are popping up regularly. 22 year old tax disc in the windscreen

This is resting in an undisclosed museum...so it must be worth drooling over. If Gweneth Paltrow was innit maybe. Have not an idea what it is.

I was operating on just one light bulb last night....just noticed it's got a sign on the roof saying AUSTIN A-something.  It's in the AG Car Museum in Cyprus, which mostly has small European cars, 3 Jeeps and a Buick, judging by a visitor video I saw.

Caught this unusual coloured E-Type just as the lights changed

Look at the green on this! Was going to get the other side but the owner appeared...

I may have snapped this before, but as I was cycling past anyway...

Amazing what you see when you cycle instead of driving.

Piss tarp mystery but I say Vauxhall - there's another covered car up the drive

I've shown this before but I often fantasise about getting it roadworthy but leaving the paint as-is

But the BX is new

Lots of stuff I don't think I've seen before at the specialist car dealer, Opel isn't new but has some interesting badges and stickers

Nice to see one of these out and about and seemingly unharmed by the JDM’ed  massif. 3 door too.

He was probably waiting until no-one was looking before getting into it!

I spotted a Willys Jeep around the corner from where I live yesterday. It had a For Sale sign on the front too.

Didnt get a pic but might go back and investigate further tomorow.

Tyre fitter at ATS always has MK1 Fiestas, looks like he's downgraded
