After months of spotting inactivity, here's a few spots from today to get a new spottage thread going.

First up, Pug 505 GTi 'state with crunchy rear arches....

BMC FK truck looks to have fallen into the hands of the great unwashed....

Garage premises in Exeter plays host to rotting MK2 Jags and Merc....

And this XJ coupe, which is an ultra rare manual model

Lovely Dawlish is home to many old giffers, hence a well cared for jem like this Stanza isn't uncommon

loving that Jag Coupe, great spots chap

[brammy777]

I absolutely love that Stanza. Even the plate on it is mega clean!

Great to see a 505 estate that hasn't gone for export! Early for a GTI on a C-plate, too.

I take it on Peugeots GTi doesn't equal sporty? It looks very ordinary to me!

[Richard]

It's got alloy wheels, fuel injection and an LSD, what more do you want?

[Rusty Pelican]

Someone in Exmouth loves old Renners!.......

Cologne built Ford Trader from the 60's makes a great camper conversion..

Stunning shite Viva in an Exeter side street, bonus points for the period roof rack and wind deflector....

blimey all those renners

[outlaw118]

That renner 6 looks familiar, perhaps in someones spotted at a show type thread, or the old ebay tat??

[seth]

Renault driveway

[barrett]

Whoever owns those renners needs to be on here!

 

great spots, love the ford camper thing

[brammy777]

Wow! Impressive spots, 7 bits of shite in 3 photos. That works well.Good to see that the southwest is still rather good for tat.

[michiel]

Ooh, Caravelle! (rest isn't too bad either, I know)

[pogweasel]

A brown renner 6, can you actually get more 'shite' than that!?!

[Guest]

What about a brown Renault 5 with a registration plate of 'POO 347R'?

[pogweasel]

Yeah, that's good. But a dumpy, angular 6 will always win over the curvy chic cinq.

[Spottedlaurel]

Fanastic stuff! I think the Viva is particularly special.

[bigstraight6]

Crumbling Allegroid....

Reliant Ant, perfect for tat spares collecting missions....

Kustom Victor, inspired by a copy of 'Street Machine' circa 1979....

End of the road for a pov spec Porker....

Another Reliant Ant in the same week! though this one hasn't turned a wheel in a while....

Tasteful Barry Boy van....

[michiel]

Jeesus! iPad?

[seth]

2 Reliant Ants! Van

[brammy777]

Wow. You do manage to spot gems dont you! The southwest is really good for rusty old vehicles, keep it up.

I'd say the south west (i.e. from dorset/ somerset westwards) is in some places about 5 years behind the rest of the UK in car terms which is great for shite! When I arrived in dorset in 2005 I found a second hand dealer selling a Viva and another selling an Allegro, shite-wise cornwall wins, in 2007 I saw a P6 and 200 plus other newer chod for sale at a dodgey roadside "dealership" complete with 80s signs and dodgy "office"!m0rris

I think the Renaults belong to 'Speedway Rob'. He runs a body repair shop in Exmouth -and is passionate about old Renaults.I knew he had a few.Decent bloke-has helped me previously with an old Fiat that came his way.He'd rather see them saved- than turn a large profit.

[retro80sboy]

great pics mate. thanks for allowing me to use them in my group too.love that Allegro pic! looks like it would fall apart if it was ever moved.
