Brammys spots. Round up from the past 6 months.

Okay so I was going to wait until the next update to put this one in, but my god, I first saw this car a few months back on the way to Tadley, and I have been hoping to see it ever since.

1980 Ford Escort MKII 1.3 L Saloon. by bramm77, on Flickr

Local plate, no sunroof, and it never turns at up at shows, so I wonder what the story could be. One owner perhaps!

That looks GR9. I'm not surprised it doesn't have a sunroof, but it looks great on those wheels. I'd say it's giffer-owned from new-ish, judging by the AA badge. I can also see into its possible future, it includes a pair of Irish number plates, a weld-in roll cage and a ditch or two. Shame really.

Damn you Brammy, I tried (and failed) to get a pic of that Escort about 4 years ago (the first and last time I took any candid snaps for this site). The old couple who mooch around Tadley in it are, I would suggest, most definitely the original owners. And I assume their progeny are not OSF YKT fans or they'd have "swapped" them into a nice Fiesta instead...

That Escort is just perfect, but as M'coli said it will probably end up being smashed up in rallying by someone who claims to be a MKII Escort fan. You dont see them like that on the roads anymore, Ford got the look just right, shame so many owners can't see that these days.

 

If you get a chance to talk to the owners i'd mention to them that the car is worth atleast £3000 cause i'd hate to hear that some chav offered them "2 hundrad quid for ya ol motor cause its worf nufin" and then ruining it or making a quick buck. I'd advise them on some security aswell as pointing out its probable fate if they did sell it.

 

Also with regard to the wheels they are the correct ones for a late L they are Ford Sport Steels, the later L's received an upgrade that included those wheels, square headlamps and the side rubbing strips.

Wow. Honestly, this month has been a bit too good for spotting, probably more of a case of being in the right place at the right time, heres a selection, but there is plenty more which I will save for another update.

Hmmm...I never thought I would get excited about a beige Fiesta Mk1....but that looks a minter.

 

I immediately started looking for clues about ownership...

...mudflaps, original plates, very tidy and cleanly swept drive, nice hanging basket, 'Ponderosa' style tiled house number... must be a Stan and Elsie who've owned it from new!

 

Not sure what the blue thing is on the floor is about...some sort of minor driveway repair?

This is cool, Kat stuff was expensive back in the day.

 

I liked the Ford Capri kit they did, as a car fitted with it looked far more purposeful than the Tickford Capri (the body kit of which was designed by the guy who later set up Kat and much later created the Ariel Atom), especially from the front:

Here is a small update of pictures I have taken recently, just to catch up with my flickr uploads. Some of you have seen them before but here goes anyway:

Answers on a postcard please. by bramm77, on Flickr

I don't think this has much chance of returning to the road.

1979 Austin Morris Mini Clubman. by bramm77, on Flickr

Not a GT, and not originally red. Not like you can tell or anything.

1981 Triumph Dolomite Sprint Saloon. by bramm77, on Flickr

Incredibly crunchy every day Dolomite, had a fist sized hole in front of that rear arch, and check out the bubbling above...

1991 Skoda 136 Rapid Coupe. by bramm77, on Flickr

First one I have seen for absolutely ages, not exactly well kept but it's still on the road, which is more than can be said for 99.9999999% of the ones sold here.

1987 Jaguar XJS HE V12 Coupe. by bramm77, on Flickr

Weirdly, E577LYH appears earlier in this thread, sold from the same dealership perhaps?

1979 Bedford CF 2.3 Box Van. by bramm77, on Flickr

These two were opposite each other, staring angrily at one another.

1970s Ford Cortina GT Saloon. by bramm77, on Flickr

There was a custom P100 next to this in the front garden, sadly both seem pretty unloved right now.

1985 Citroen Visa 17RD Diesel Hatchback. by bramm77, on Flickr

Little old lady in Hook owns this beast.

Looks to me like an MG Magnette, mid-50s. It could also be a Wolseley or Riley of the same vintage. What's going on with it is another matter. Restoration? Those wheels look a bit wide. Hot-rodding? Looking likely. Will it ever be finished? Who knows?

1982 Ford Escort XR3 1.6 Hatchback. by bramm77, on Flickr

Someone hasn't been made aware of scene tax, I bet this is still worth a million odd quid though.

5450620734_f97aa46a16_z.jpg

1990 Ford Escort 1.4 Ghia Hatchback. by bramm77, on Flickr

In contrast, this painfully mint Escort is still doing a good job for someone.

1983 Ford Cortina Crusader Saloon. by bramm77, on Flickr

What are the odds of finding two old Fords from the same area (which isn't local) on the same day? Probably quite high actually..

Strange goings on. by bramm77, on Flickr

Both of these XJ40s spent 6 years on the road.

1986 Nissan Cherry 1.3 SGL Spirit Hatchback. by bramm77, on Flickr

Utterly thrashed Cherry owned by some pretty wild old folks, it seems.

 

And finally, get a whole load of this magnifecent slice of OMG, still working for a living as a scrap wagon. Fitting.

1983 Leyland Atlantean/Northern Counties 'Playbus'. by bramm77, on Flickr

 

WOW! Another ex North Birmingham Busways bus turns up. I remember preparing this for it's (as it turned out) final PSV MoT test. It had the full works, engine and chassis silvered full lower panels repaint. It ran to the end in a slightly different livery to the rest because of that. Sadder bit about that was it was the last bus my good friend Bill Kirby and I worked on before he died only a few months later. Still, fond memories.
