Gompo's Ganderings (spotted thread) - 2024(!)

Torsten - Both the Citroen and Merc were in Clapham, quite nearby.

I want this:What an early one and so tidy. Datsun badge too for kudos.

This was in Chelsea, lots of nice cars there as you'd expect - Vanquish, Gallardo Spyder, 911's and a few classics... Apart from the lovely Maserati Shamal I saw (one of my fave cars ever) I was most excited about the Datsun.

That Sunny is unbelieveably clean. Temptation to leave a contact number on there must be strong!

Wow, don't see many of these any more. I bet it's the sloth-o-matic too. Willing to bet that if this one lasts much longer it'll become an RS turbo replica before you can say "crikey, haven't mk3 Escort prices gone silly of late"

Autotrader says it's a 1.6 auto. Only on its second owner too!

January 13, 2008

Is it just me, or is there strong traces of Isopon around the front valance of that Escort?

Dont seem to see many Honda booted versions of these..

Again not all shite, I have more but will leave it for now.

Cheers.

Wonder how much the wally plate is worth on the scort estate, love Aunty Rover too, looks a pampered beast to me.

I saw a MkIV estate with a good number today. 100 NOBTo make it even better, it was an ex-BT yellow job.

The vehicle details for 100 NOB are:Date of Liability 01 06 2008Date of First Registration 13 12 1988Year of Manufacture 1988Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1753CCCO2 Emissions Not AvailableFuel Type Heavy OilExport Marker Not ApplicableVehicle Status Licence Not DueVehicle Colour YELLOW

For the h8rz. Would have got a pic, but was laden with shopping & had kids in tow.

..Another update. As always just a selection/not only shite. Havent been out as much as I should have but hopefully there'll be something to interest you,

Dont think I've seen many LT50's before, atleast not this long..

Cheers for now. Greg.

Wow , that Transhit Camper is quite something. AS mobile command centre?I am now besotted with that Neue Klasse BMW. Fantastically odd looking machines.

Still working for it's living - excellent!

Any more pictures of the S1 Land Rover? I had one virtually identical to that as my first car - apart from mine was odd-coloured and had a rubber antenna mount on the wing from when the RAF owned it. I think the one in your picture even has the (very rare) split tailgate that mine had. Was there anything unusual about the back lights?

Got yourself a Rover 200 Mr Weasel?

First time I've seen this thread & what a host of goodies it contains!

Hi, Sorry no more pics and I cant recall the back lights. The pic is from a month or so ago but I can maybe work out where I spotted it - will return in the future for more pics if possible.Cheers.

I think I spotted these two in Dulwich Village, the A35 was in stunning condition 2 years ago and now looks abandoned!

Time for a bit of an update, hope you find something interesting in this selection:

2,951 · March 9, 2008

That would be great, if only to see whether it has the rare tailgate. Apart from the one I had I can only remember seeing one other example.

Sadly, now that I've done a DVLA check it doesn't look like that's my old S1 - the one in the picture is a 1956 88" which has managed to retain its 2 litre engine. Mine was a 1954 86" and had acquired a later 2286cc engine.

All the same, I've not seen a more similarly specced Landy in the 22 years since I sold mine. I'd love to know if mine survives - it seems to have been plate raped at some point because the registration now comes up as a Saab (or something), and I fear that it might have been broken for bits or made into a trialler.[list=]

Yep, in Dulwich still..

Update.. Same mixture again. Hope they're stil appreciated!

Just liked the blackness on this..

...And a few more.

Poor little Fiat.. These three were all at the same set of garages.

I liked the effort that had gone into this, yet the 316 badges remained..

Cant help but like Porka's, even the 'undesirable' old targas.

Cheers.

To my eyes the MkI Range Rover rears lights were given the same sort of subtle facelift (rearlift?) that were given to the ones on MkI Saab 900s.The harlequin Fiats are appreciated!

Some top tat there....Shame about the 127 - looks to be a sport as a well, pretty sought after I should think, even in that condition.Black Bee-em is nice.

Yes they were - 1050cc with 70bhp, not bad for something that size and age....According to the Autotrader Reg Check it is a 127 Sport too.

Is the Auto Trader reg check working again? It seemed to want me to pay money before divulging any info last time I looked.Anyway, cracking photos Gompo. I can't help but feel that a BM 6-series - even one a little careworn like that Highline - can ever truly be shite, but when parked outside what looks like an abandoned house I'll make an exception.
