Massive amount of 'recent' spots....UPDATED 25.10 ON PAGE 2

[retrogeezer]

I've not posted any of my spots for about 3 months due to a house move so will put them all in this thread. Should be something for everyone!

 

I won't bother saying what they are, I'm sure most of you know anyway.

 

 

 

 

Don't see so many of these nowadays:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mini with a Honda Civic Type R engine!

 

 

I preffered this tho':

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love these:

Might have some more on my phone...will post them later.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Wonderful spots! This:

 

 

Is class in a glass! Retro string vest flabby-arsed builder stylee FTW.

[retrogeezer]

That was at Morrisons in Crewe Mr B, I see it everyday now on the school run!

[retrogeezer]

A couple more, all from the same street!

You are the lyrical gangster Mr B

 

Spottage overload retrogeezer, I'm just off for a cold shower

[blackbird]

Was the 300c for sale at a car boot ?hw much was it ?

[mk2_craig]

The early beige Montego appeals nearly as much as that Renner 16, should I be worried?

[retrogeezer]

Yes it was, it was £900 ono and was mint.

[Mr Lobster]

For some reason I'm really drawn to the blue Sierra Estate. Not quite sure why but I'd rather like that...

[michiel]

What a wonderful selection! That 300C is wonderful, the Beta is wonderful, and the Ritmo... simply wonderful.

[Volksy]

Crewe and Stoke seem to be tat central, loads of odd stuff turns up round there. I spent several years living in Alsager and Stoke, and you used to see all sorts. The local free ads/bargain Monday in the Sentinel used to be like a toy shop!!!

TBH it really ought to be a Strada, but we know that Ritmo is possible over here too! Love the late R16, the Telecom yellow Maestro van, and the pure white Mini van. When did they stop selling them? They've disappeared very quickly The Strada goes without saying!

[nigel bickle]

Nice 300c -too modern for me though. As a complete aside- Flipper- the 66 Melbourne Dattie passed its MOt this morning. last hurdle now is the trip to LVLO to hand over £50, myriad paperwork and get a number issued. Yippee!

[MrRegieRitmo]

Should you be getting about an E plate suffix then?

[bones96]

i like the yellow zephyr

[MrRegieRitmo]

An idea for wuvvum perhaps?

because old people used to buy them and look after them, (I get mine free ) simple solution: stop old people from driving = Protons disappear!!!

Absolutely crikey!

[55bloke]

Absolutely a-bloody-mazing!! That Mk 2 Granny intrigues me- why would you fit a new wing, and then add all the chrome trim before having it sprayed? Also, in the background of that pic of the Mk 1 Cavalier, do I spy a Mk 3 Zephyr/Zodiac?

[retrogeezer]

Looks like one for sure, I missed that as I was in the car and it must have gone into that garage/tyre place...bugger!Agree about the Granny, bung a garage £30 and those wings would be painted....do these people not realise that primer is porous and will let the damp through.

[r.welfare]

And it's not as though Mk2 Grandad wings (even pattern ones) are cheap these days

[retrogeezer]

Few more.....

 

505 GTi - in my road but taken me 3 months to snap it!

 

 

Beautiful Capri that is just around the corner..

 

 

Pretty clean Carlton...

 

 

Surprised to see this Mini left out at the roadside all the time...

 

 

Pug 205...
