I’ll pop a note through later this week. If you want me to put your details on it let me know by PM

Probably just worth popping a note in to see if there is any interest at all first. I sincerely doubt anything will happen but its always worth a try and putting "genuine Citroen enthusiast" or similar in the note helps rather than "u sell car or wot m9? Luv, scrappy steve"

I’ll pop a note through the door tonight with my number & e-mail address on it.

A few from Bracklesham & the Witterings.

[dozeydustman]

Two more from today while driving rent-a-wreck about in the witterings.

Is this a Demio? ?

First time I’ve ever seen such a blandly coloured Royce. TBH it looked like Dulux matt emulsion close up, brushmarks for bonus chod points.

Daihatsu Grand Move.

That would be why I didn't recognise it. I don't think I'd knowingly seen one in the fresh previously.

Delightful R4 van today in East Wittering. Been into the industrial park where I spotted it 3 times in the last week, only saw it today.

Haven’t seen one of these for a very long time.

[dozeydustman]

Not much choddage over the last couple of days. Only notable spots yesterday and today.

 

The gooner has some epic lack appeal.

 

[dozeydustman]

Bracklesham and The Witterings are proving to be good spotting areas for 4+ wheeled turds. Commercial crap today.

Does grafting a CF front on an Iveco immediately make it less shit?

Nice to see an old girl still earning a crust, although of that era these were pretty crap - terrible blindspots and sciatica inducing driver's seat. The next generation DAF 55 LF/CF series was a massive improvement.

[dozeydustman]

Good amount of spottage today.

Hubba Hubba on the C15 camper, though I'm not a lover of artwork on a car.

Missed out on a Maestro Van, F reg City E spec in a sort of sky blue colour. I have seen in knocking about Chichester just never had a chance to snap it. Ditto a B reg Nissan sunny in a metallic hangover piss colour.

Wait, what?  That is epic.

Magnolia Dulux weathershield - for the win. Classy.

Also, imagine how convenient it would be if you had the same name as the plate? You know, you were called 174.

Today’s refuse round rammel

the colour suits the scimitar. 

[MorrisItalSLX]

That Scimitar is terrific!

[dozeydustman]

 Live on site.

as so many of you liked this previously, have another photo of it

 

[dozeydustman]

Moar live reports.

 

[HillmanImp]

That CivecoF Daily is fucking amazing. What a spot.

[dozeydustman]

Live from Sussex. It’s the shite of the week.

 

[dozeydustman]

Today I saw the following:

the red Micra has been featured before, but now has a crusty Golf mk3 and a Kia Sportage for shits and giggles

[dozeydustman]

Talking to the owner across the car park she said it’s the only one in Britain.

[barrett]

Fucking hell! It's not the only one, but it's damn rare and one of my all-time favourite cars. 11/10 spottage!

Amazingly, there is one mouldering on somebody's driveway somewhere in the UK but I can't remember where I got this pic from

[dozeydustman]

Yes I was sceptical of her claim (old girl, Germanic accent) as I’m sure I’ve seen another Matra like it at a show in the past.

[barrett]

Was she quite glam? I wonder if she is the old bird I met at a car show several years ago with a JDM Datsun 240Z. I have a feeling she owns several cool old sports cars. @seth knows what I'm talking about and no, I don't think he should post the photo.

I know a guy with a restored red one, but those are the only three I can place at the moment

[dozeydustman]

@barrett gifferette wearing “country” attire, if that helps!

[dozeydustman]

Misery because saloon. Even more misery because Merit

Conference calls are boring things, in attempt to avoid lapsing into REM state sleep I went digging for more info on this

 

Dvla shows it as 1585cc.
Google(other forms of search tracking are available) suggests this isnt a BMC engine.

More digging took place

This appears to have a beautifully done Fiat transplant under the bonnet

Morris Minor by greeneggsnsam, on Flickr

 

There are a couple more hot Morris Minors around Chichester, I’ve not been able to catch the others on camera yet.

The red one often has a companion.

[Parky]

I’m not on the bins but I feel this has just enough cachet to qualify for a rag and bone style singalong.  Ready?

Any old Orion, any old Orion

Any any any old Orion

You look neat, sitting in the heat

that rear panel will give your Mig welder a treat

You need a rigger booted man with a HIAB van

And some ratchet straps to tie on

I wouldn’t give you tuppence for your old skool tax ORION! ORION!

Saw this outside Wickes when I went to get some plumbing stuff to fix dishwasher this lunchtime.

pretty sure @barrett's heron uses the same rear lights  

[dozeydustman]

Back at work, a few nice spots.
