A couple I papped as they passed - and a fantastic MK3 with Cosworth interior and instruments

Is that near Truro? I bet the 'Rocco is up for solid money- it looks silly clean.

I'm amazed I've never seen any of that lot in Truro before. The Nissan Cherry is fantastic.

The Beetle was in Newbury on the way down - the others in Truro, the Cortina was at Halfords so presumably staff

Not quite sure where blue digits on white plastic plates are from?

Thankfully it's a well-known car

OMG. Is that the remains of the Burberry Metro on my neighbour's drive?

The lower picture looks like an earlier car with different lights and bumpers?

Looking more closely the stripes are different  - so there were at least two of them

Snap! Good to see this one is still bumbling about. I met the owner once; nice lady, committed to keeping it going.

One of the employees at the classic dealer owns this unwelded, 43K RS2000 with Webasto roof in salmon pink

I like older 911s although the Targa is not my favourite body style

Always think these SLs are too tall in the windows, wonder if anyone's been brave enough to chop one?

The Metro remnant looks like an objet d'art from a hipster craft beer bar or somewhere equally dreadful.  

All three cars in the latest photos are lovely, by the way.

It was apparently created for a music video but got damaged so the decision was made to cut it up. Seems a bit drastic to me

Not a lot to report from Frankfurt. There's a road near where I'm working with yards full of interesting stuff including a Barkas, but no time to walk up there and photograph them. Here are a few I did capture

A few more I saw on my way to the train station. A detour down a side street was worth it for the DS - sadly there are also now places in Frankfurt where I do not want to pull my phone out

That's a clean looking C4 100! And yeah, the area around the central station seems to have been pretty rough for years now. I wonder why nothing is done about it considering it's the first impression of the city for many.

I've not been here since 2020 and it wasn't brilliant, but it feels considerably worse now. Our hotel was nice but outside felt a bit unsafe unfortunately. I know a lot of big cities have dodgy areas but I usually feel fine walking anywhere in Germany

Taken just at the wrong moment- had a classic cars wanted sign on it
