Jack_Harpers_Teeth Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 A little update. Spotted this Passat on Monday; Which I reckon fits nicely here. looks identical to the one that was the company car at the place where I had my first ever job, same colour, model and year - I am sure it's not the same car as last time I saw it, it was doing doughnuts, handbrake turns in the company car park!!

Jack_Harpers_Teeth Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 What part of the country are these from, though? Isle of Wight mate. I'll do some more in a bit. Was active here a while back, but stopped posting, still lurked about though. I will try to be a bit more productive here in the future as I like this forum - it makes me laugh on a regular basis.

M'coli Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yes please to more, I'm not sure if there's anyone else who's posted up so many spots from the IOW. This R12 seems to be quite nice too, or is it just the rose-tinted windscreen making me think the driving experience wasn't that bad after all?

Lord Sterling Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I likey. Too bad it isnt slightly more angled toward the left, wouldnt have minded seeing the wheels its sitting on, though they look like Mk1 'Roversports' This car comes up as a Rover Vitesse 2.7ltr V6 and is currently on a SORN. Thanks for the pics lad, please keep them coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Harpers_Teeth Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Glad you like . The Rover 800 is a pretty recent spot, I am suprised it's now on SORN, it obviously well cared for . Right starting to run out now of past spots, but here we go again chaps. and...Bleedin' 'ell Stan.... That's all boys 'n' girls. I will update this topic as and when.

eddyramrod Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 That's not IOW! That's from Preston. When I were a children we had SCK 781 which was an Austin A35 van. Top spotting Jack, proud of you. Is the IOW something of a Triumph haven? Seem to be a lot of Toledos and Dolomites in your pics (not a complaint!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 These really are good!, is that Hillman Super Minx Pick Up a factory made car or a home conversion?, I haven't seen one before and whats the tiny window in the middle of the Marina convertible all about, It looks like the one in my downstairs toilet!

Came a long way from Preston to be here then eh? Triumph Haven? Maybe, I am a Dolomite owner myself so I guess I probably have saved more photos of like related cars than I should of . is that Hillman Super Minx Pick Up a factory made car or a home conversion?, I haven't seen one before and whats the tiny window in the middle of the Marina convertible all about, It looks like the one in my downstairs toilet! Hi Trigger Not sure about the Super Minx, I think it could well be an original pick-up, it earns it's keep, I've seen it more often than not at the local "civic amenities site" (the Tip) unloading plenty of garden related crap, seems a useful vehicle. The Marina is a Mumford, I believe they all get that strange little window, but (unfortunately) not a onboard toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Ace pictures Wouldn't a Super Minx pick-up be a Commer something or other if it was factory? Looks a great little truck either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Mmmmm, 250cc of Mark G. I have so got to get me an open top D type some time. I have a very blurry photo of the prototype G somewheres that Father Father Ted test drove on a shakedown road test when he worked for Sharps. EDIT:FYI - almost all Bond cars (up to the reliant take over) were pre registered in Preston before being shipped off to the dealer. Im going to have to hunt now for the pictures of the lorry full of Bonds I have - all sideways loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_Harpers_Teeth Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 No need to apologise Father....all sinners are forgiven in the land of Shite, especially with info like that . Love to know what the story behind this ridiculous thing is?! Hi Capt H. That effort is called a Gadabout Piewagon. It is a real in some sense of that word which describes a "car". I found it in the beer garden of a pub in Shanklin, had to pinch myself that wasn't (too) pissed, I did have a photo of the info sheet you can see attached to it, but have since deleted the photo of that sheet . But it said summit about it was American and was imported into then UK during the 70s or owt. Bloody daft thing it was. Last time i visited the pub (any excuse) that there Piewagon had gone.

My Mk C Family was London registered in 1954 - SGP 6** It was a Lawrie thing, he was fiercely proud of Preston and wanted the cars to go out with Preston numbers. Im sure some dealers insisted otherwise, and proud or not he wouldnt chuck away a sale.Anyway, have another gratuitous bond shot from dads album: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan84 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 VDL687Y made me smile;I always appreciate a Sierra Ghia,especially the early ones. I always wondered why Isle of Wight vehicles survived better than mainland ones - your mechanics must be extra cautious when it comes to anti-corrosion treatment,and your councils less heavy with salt in winter to rot the cars to death.
