Above six were in Herne Hill, spotted three months after the ULEZ extension.  Owners of stuff like the S123 and 340 probably just pay up and consider it another cost of motoring.  Or they've got rid now.

20220616_113531.thumb.jpg.398d18ce8d778a1a978939cefd3f1c81.jpg

Same applies here.  Big house, old money car 300 yards inside the ULEZ.

A stalled project.  Been on stands for ages.  All the builder's gear just fits around it!

Amazon moves.  The catpiss Jag doesn't, obviously.

A few Normandy spots from this year.  Best one being this...

20220521_082236.thumb.jpg.cae18a143b6ffc5098d56498e744ed75.jpg

20220926_143820.thumb.jpg.19e4d1fc6f8c984760b7154eace23815.jpg

I parked up the Espace one evening and this appeared the next day.  I think it belongs to some winner in the new flats that have been built up the road.

20220920_132353.thumb.jpg.8d6a9f0d7b594d0245da07738f6e94e4.jpg

And another local spot, 3.0 V6.  Doesn't live here, but I spoke to the bloke once and he uses it to carry his ladders and tools around.  I think he's a semi-retired odd job man.

20220616_125050.thumb.jpg.5a85d60d0d7d320162fc8c04db725c78.jpg

20220723_000829.thumb.jpg.19eae7b6942c8c0faed244640f41bfc5.jpg

ARGENTA.  Must go back for a better photo.  People were milling about.  How dare they.  I'll take the Morris when I do, as a photo next to this wonderful heap is required.

Due an update.  These are on my manor but I had no idea they existed, as I never go down these roads.

Felt a bit bad taking a photo of someone's house face on, but I won't make a habit of it.

These were all from one spotting session on a walk from Peckham to Beckenham.  I'd dropped the Skizzer Espace off at a clutch place in Peckham as it needed a dose of looking at, and decided to make a day of it.

20230307_110243.thumb.jpg.20083df53c09184532037d5c73b7312b.jpg

Dunno if the owner will still have this 740 post 29th August.  Might be on disabled tax.

The South Circular Escort.  Been there years.

20230307_135150.thumb.jpg.298d59c230c1465eb964dc0622d709b9.jpg

This Multipla sold on eBay a few days ago for £1,200.  Was half tempted as I need to try one before they all disappear.

20230307_133914.thumb.jpg.59c15f365b4878c470c16e0239a076cb.jpg

An SD1 used to live in this spot.  Fucked and up on bricks IIRC. P6 looks like a runner.

Central London.  Wimpole Street winner, or thereabouts.

This is local to me and I'm surprised it's still around.  I nearly swapped my old Safrane for it in 2018 I think.

Final lot for now.  Hammersmith & Fulham.  Took me all day to see this lot, but it's heartening to see stuff still knocking about.

Shit a brick, get a load of this!

20231023_164451.jpg

Don't think I've ever seen a W reg 126. Glorious pre-2001 plate font and original trims, too. And a brown interior. Absolute 100% class.

That said, looks like it's received rear parking sensors at some point - and I'd love to know what it tows!

Excellent stuff. I've all but given up on my spotted thread, as they're hideously unpopular now it seems, so I appreciate your stalwart efforts in carrying on.

It was glorious.  I lingered for a while just taking it all in.  Parked on its own under an arch like it was 1981 again.

For someone going through a Sigma phase a Galant is a good spot!

Final lot for 2023, all of them in London bar the Audi below.

A shit photo but I'll include it anyway.  In Fulham near the Palace.  The bloke had his dog in the back, and why not!

Probably my best spot of the year, a 6.9.  Front suspension looked fucked.  Wonderful.

Great spots. IIRC, that Triumph is famous for something, possibly a long distance rally or something?

Rob - have spotted this cracking Xedos on my manor a couple of times. I was surprised to note that it was a spanish too - I had incorrectly assumed they were two pedal only

Nice work. Recognise a few of these from round the way. Think i've snapped the Charlton bimmers in my spotted thread too.

Is, as you say heartening so see a fair bit of classic action in and around town.

Blimey that's tidy.  Paint I can only dream of, as mine's a definite 20 footer.

Manual ones do exist but I assume back in the day the autos were more common.

Bilge update.  Mostly south London, although this MK1 Cav was Islington.

The Daf is just up the road in Crystal Palace.  Managed to chat to the owner recently and it's going in for repairs, as not long after this photo someone side swiped the front OS wing whilst it was parked.  He was in the car at the time and they did the decent thing rather than fuck off and run.

This was a good, dedicated spotting day.  Best I've had in ages.  From the top of K&C borough near Grenfell (stopping at the tower for a sobering few minutes) down to the river.

Shiters choice Ferrari at the Eurotunnel.  It was lazy starting and I offered my help, which entailed staring at the engine whilst he cranked it.
