I went out shopping and ended up spotting. (pic thread)

I went to Stockport looking for a new pair of shoes this afternoon. Thought I'd get a bargain cos it's the sort of place where trackies and trainers sell like hot cakes.

Whilst walking past the steep road up to the old market hall I caught sight of the rear quarter of a Volvo P1800. There was music playing, and I could just make out a Zephyr/Zodiac.

Sod the shoe shops for a bit, I'm having a look at this, I thought.

 

Here's the Volvo I was on about:

 

 

There was a Trigger's brush-spec Austin a30/35, loooking ready for Goodwood

 

 

An MGB parked in a manner you often find MGB's

 

 

A Mk1 Cortina Super

 

 

Forward control rocking horse shit

 

 

An Allegro estate  parked in a manner you often find Allegros

 

 

A very well cared for Triumph 2000

 

 

next to a similarly well cared for Austin 7

 

 

A pristine Bel-Air

 

 

Next to a couple of Crestas it inspired, complete with free photobombers.

 

 

No idea

 

 

Ok, slightly less than no idea

 

 

D'awwww

 

 

Not sure why it's wearing dartboard rims, but nice nonetheless

 

 

Non-rusty Magnum

 

 

Late model Dolly

 

 

A Cortina estate

 

 

And a Trevor.

 

 

There were mods, too.

 

 

And some rockers

 

 

A Moto Guzzi V50

 

 

This Triumph Trophy sounded great

 

 

This BSA  M21 600 sounded even better

 

 

All in all, a pleasant diversion from the drudgery of trying on shoes and fending off sales urchins. 

 

For those of you who I've not bored to sleep, here's a bonus pic of a Francis Barnett outside a pub in Altrincham yesterday.

Last pic best of all!   Not for machinery, maybe.  Just because Fanny B outside a pub with statutory bollock-slicer.  Class, the like of which is not seen often enough today.....

My favourite is the one with a sports direct branch closing down!

…..probably because they're moving to larger premises elsewhere in town?
