The  Bond in foreground seems to have lost its headlights, perhaps it was abandoned and that was all that was worth nicking off it.

Mrs N was born in Bletchley but can't remember Sainsbury's and the shopping centre next to it being built , looks like it was when she was about 6 or 7 , so not surprising, I suppose.

Datsun 180B, I believe.

And the Renault is an 8. Smaller than the blue 10 in the other pic.

Strange...I don't remember the parking spaces in Sainsbury's being so massive...

Of course, that's what we're all secretly hoping to spot, surely? You're right, it is strange that with all those pics, and all the cars everyone on here has owned in the past, that no-one has leapt up and yelled "that was mine!"

well if by this you mean "oh theres my car before I owned it" then no I have not owned TPA, but I have sat in it LOL

(I thought you just meant like an exact Model/type of a car you own/owned, although to be pedantic im still failing on that front, as TPA is an AC Model 70 Mark A, REV is an Invacar Model 70 Mark B :) )

You could always try and find your car by figuring out the likelihood of it being a Sainsbury's car in a particular area.  Since there's been so many Princesses appearing - I've been genuinely surprised at just how many, in fact - I really wouldn't be surprised if one I know pops up, even if it's not mine.  From at least the 90s, I know my car spent much of its time in and around York so if it's going to appear then it might be Monks Cross, built in 1991.  It hung around the York area until about 2010-11 when it ended up with the owner before me, after which it would most likely be seen at the Rotherway store, near Chesterfield, since it did go there a couple of times while I lived that way and may have done with the owner before me too.

I've been keeping an eye on the nicely filling up wedgister since the first one was found on this thread! 

The other cool thing is even the old photos are in colour. Don't think I've seen some of the cars spotted in colour/not 75% dissolved in a scrapyard/collection thread.
