Brighton Spots - 2014 OMG

[barrett]

YO DAWGZ! HAPPY PRIDE Y'ALL!

 

Today I saw some cars, here is one of them. I think Inspector Morse drove one of these IN MY TWISTED IMAGINATION

Bitter Autoshite member taking revenge on the cla***c car scene?

Imagine how grim it would be to actually live in this thing. Somebody probably does!

Yet another one of these....

1976 Fiat 900 camper by barrogance, on Flickr

 

... but hold on! It's got the early face on, not actually seen one of these for ages. Other than the wanky modern 'plates this looked AMAZING.

Cue the sound of a shit bicycle screeching to a halt.... and a jaw hitting the pavement

1969 Datsun 1600 Roadster by barrogance, on Flickr

 

Back down to earth with a bang

Toyota Supra Mk3 by barrogance, on Flickr

 

Hard to tell, but this Topolino is inexplicably inside a Suzuki Marine Engine dealer (the continued survival of which is also somewhat inexplicable) and it's a mega rare UK market only four seater version...

(some of a) 1939 Fiat 500 'Topolino' by barrogance, on Flickr

 

Nice colour

This lil Standard is freakin' great. I dunno if could ever actualy face driving a '50s car on a daily basis, but if I did it would be something like this

That's yer lot!

[Vin]

Good Spots Barrettelli.

 

850T looks HAWT

 

Topolino is certainly an unusual spot. DVLA search says it was registered on 29th August 1939

[michiel]

I'd love to own the first one and the last one, preferably in the same colour...

[barrett]

In the interest of CAR CONTENT here are a selection of my recent spots. These have previously been Moto-Scat EXCLUSIVE content because you lot DON'T DESERVE THEM. I know this is bad parenting, but I'm going to reward the naughty children instead of scolding them to see if this works. Supernanny would have a fit.

Right, that's yer lot.

[barrett]

P.S-

 

What's under the tarp? I used to drive past it when I worked in Hove but I never bothered to get out and look.

 

It's a Mk1 Cortina!

[meggersdog]

Some incredible spots there.The C15 could almost be a 1985 model,had a double take when you said 2003.Rusty holes in the bonnet and looks like the top door hinge has rotted away.What's going to crumble away first the van or the breeze-blocks.

[keef]

Wow: what a collection!

 

Some lovely old motors there.

[HillmanImp]

Looks like you were in Worthing for a few of them? Looks Worthing like, used to be my neck of the woods that before I moved up here.

 

Not seen a Civic shuttle for years. I used to want my old man to get one of them when I was a kid. However it was second choice to a Seat Malaga.

 

Great spots. Don't know how you find them. I certainly don't remember that much chod when I was down there.

Yep, well spotted. These are a mix of Brighton, Hove, Portslade, Shoreham, Worthing, Lancing & Eastbourne. I've been out on my bike quite a lot, you can travel huge distances without much worry and you see much more stuff than you would just wandering about. I'm constantly surprised by how much stuff there is as central Brighton is pretty rubbish for old cars really, bar the millions of VW campers, and out here in the 'burbs is even worse. Still lots more to explore though!

[pompei]

Can't believe how much old stuff is stil about in your neck of the woods - GR9 spottage!

[rml2345]

Smashing spots! That pair of Dodge/Renault 50 series bring back memories of a primary school trip to a farm on a thoroughly knackered one that the school only booked once. On the way back the driver bounced the rear wheels off a kerb before announcing he had a slow puncture

Also, my grandad had a red Samara like that! What a winner.

[HillmanImp]

I recognise those Skoda's from Shoreham seafront (or is it a bit further along, just before Hove - its been a while since I was last down ). Have always meant to stop for a photo but now I don't have to eh?

[RoadworkUK]

What an outrageous spotfest. I manage to dribble out perhaps seven or eight spots per update, you dole out an entire Argos catalogue of the things.

 

Veh good work. 13/10, couldn't do better. Don't see me.

[George-Roper]

Loving those Land Rovers please keep um coming.

[eddyramrod]

Excellent spottage, and definitely keep it up! However... I have to be pedantic over the Mk1 Cortina Estate. (Someone always will...) The caption calls it a Super. It's not. The badge on the tailgate says Deluxe, which is more likely. The Super was the one with the fake-wood down the sides, which was eliminated in the 1965 facelift. But it's a joy to see one survive at all, especially without suffering OMG RWD OSF syndrome.

[worldofceri]

...I'm going to reward the naughty children instead of scolding them to see if this works.

 

If we can have moar of this then I promise to be a very good boy indeed.

[barrett]

Practice what you preach, and all that.

 

Here are some more photos of rubbish old cars, starting with one of the cleanest Mk2 Ashtrays I've seen in a while:

THAT IS ALL

[cort16]

Class spottage. I saw that beford lorry down the front in Hove when I was down visiting my mate earlier in the year.

Those three fiats are ace. They where probably mint when he parked them up at the start of May.

[Vin]

Good stuff Barrett.

 

Merc horsebox is unusual.

 

I like the yellow paint coming through on the Leyland Boxer. What do you reckon - British Rail or British Telecom

[barrett]

Ex-BT, according to TravellerHomes:

http://www.travellerhomes.co.uk/?p=2656

[cort16]

When I saw it, it was pretty much parked on the promenade with a selection of crusty looking gentlement sitting next it it with different kinds of steam and smoke coming from it's various orifices.

It was so rough it made me do a double, double take.

[Cavcraft]

Class as usual. WTF is going on with that P100 by the way, some sort of weird 'reverse stance' thing?

[TagoraSX]

The Fiat guy deserves an award of some sort.

You would think one basket case Fiat is enough for anybody, not this guy.

 

Was the 131 a 2 or 4 door?
