Some more from me, moving into what's normally one of the public car parks but was mostly full of classics too.

 

3-litre Cavalier anyone?

Coarse Hair. There were two of these but oddly I don't remember seeing any Cortinas.

Stupidly massive station wagon won't fit in British parking spaces

Big red Saab...

I'm sure this firm had a fleet of HAs still working

.....The Auto Union 1000 wafted past in a blue haze when I returned, near home. It lives out towards Southam and is usually parked next to a green Wartburg Knight Estate which is in regular use. Clearly a man of taste.

 

Someone clearly likes his two-strokes. The smokey haze when he parked in the service lane was quite acrid. Easy to forget that once upon a time, two-stroke cars were more commonplace.....and pollution more visible.

Did you get a photo of the back of this one? IIRC it has the amazing wraparound rear side windows... and the clamshell tailgate that glides away into the bodywork...

Couldn't get near the back of it I'm afraid. It was jammed right up against the hedge in a vain attempt to stop the front sticking out into the road. Wikipedia says it does indeed have such a tailgate so I'd love to have seen it in action.

One of my favourite BMWs

See previous comments re Dubbers. Why leave the manky paint alone and fit expensive Audi alloys?

Always something of interest among the public parking. I'd forgotten these were a thing.

Just lovely in every way. This is the one I would have taken home.

Remember the Escort Combi? Sort of not a proper van

Some hero uses this as a daily. It even has winter tyres!

Then the rain came. Saab floppytop vainly tries to find a parking spot.

By now I was soaked and the mass exodus was in progress so that's all folks. Full album is on Flickr - just a small selection of things that caught my eye.
