JHT - (a spotted thread) UPDATED page 9 onwards.

[rml2345]

Feel the need to reply... This is a top thread of spots! Particularly the abandoned Montynogo.

Keep ''em coming PLZ.

Granada is a Consul btw.  I made the same  "mistake" when posting the picture elsewhere....it took about 4 microseconds before I was told otherwise!

 

I should point ou, these cars are all seen just out and about on the IoW's roads, none are taken at car shows - simply because I don't attend car shows.

 

Anyway here we go again....

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this one ^^^ will be familiar with Autoshiters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I think that brings you up to date.  Thanks for the warm welcome back, it's much appreciated.

Sheesh there's a load of rare old shite out your way. I love the TAT plate on the Capri I think that's the only private plate I'd want to buy just to put on what ever rusty old shite I have at the time.

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Not sure how to do an edit. but the two deLorean pictures....the one that should be familiar etc...is this one;

 

[catsinthewelder]

Great thread JHT

 

That Hornet looks odd with a yellow plate and placcy trims.

[mercrocker]

I'd toss that Wulzy's trims at the nearest passing Cayenne along with the arch extensions but I would wager those plates are the originals.....Too many nice original motors lose their correct reflectives for "period" black and white  ones, often with incorrect fonts (I am as guilty on my Oxford  on that front but it came with vile plastic nightmares not the originals).   Harder  to replace the correct reflectives now with these crap modern type fonts  - most post 68 cars came with reflectives well ahead of  the 1973 legislatory requirement.   I will hang the anorak up  now!

Dunlop rims from a Lotus Europa on that spitfire, one of the coolest wheel choices for a small chassis Triumph. Good work that man.

 

I wonder if the IOW has the highest concentration per capita of old cars?

[coalnotdole]

That Vitesse with the stripe has a Fiat twin cam in it - seen it at car jumbles and shows on the island.

I recognise most of the cars in this thread - small island i suppose.

Theres a shagged looking sherpa that i've seen in lidls carpark loads of times and always meant to get a picture of missing from this thread though!

 

I'll have to give the rebel a polish before you next spot it - its got nicer wheels now

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Hi cnd, yes I know that Sherpa, it looks amazing, I have photographed it before, just had look through my various photo accounts and can't find it, still something to "find" again soon as it's often about.

 

Here some more recent ones from me to you;

 

 

 

 

 

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Just seen this Nova, complete with it's supplying dealership sticker ;

 

[cort16]

That 6 series looks like it's still on metrics. Expensive.

[trigger]

Good to see an Acclaim out in the wild!

[stuboy]

excellent shots

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Why thank you

 

Spotted this today I did;

 

[George-Roper]

Ooooh Posh Land crab

[Squire_Dawson]

I've seen a few Acclaims still out and about, kudos to the owners for keeping them going. I'm sure at least one I've seen must've been enthusiast-owned, but for the others I like to think that there's an old boy who's had it for most of his retirement still driving it.

[vulgalour]

That Princess (no need to repost) is probably utterly ruined and not for sale, but I'd like to let the club know about it anyway.  I could make a post on the Princess forum with 'details on request' rather than posting an address and whatever publicly if you'd be willing to share the info?  Not one for me, obviously, two broken Princesses is enough for anyone.

An update of spottages from the Isle of Wight.

Some of these might be repeats from earlier in this topic, apologies if they've been seen before.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I think that's me up to date. Hope you like.

Always love an Esprit. Makes me feel good when I see one.

[cort16]

I'd love a crown vic with nudge bars no-matter how much of a fanny it made me look.

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

I know what you mean.  I had a sudden craving for donuts after seeing it...

[Hertz]

Nice spots sir! The Alpine GTA is of particular interest, any more info on it Jack? LHD by the look of it?

[mercrocker]

great spottage, sir....I have not had my Pile of Shite fix this year so there was an extra element of pleasure in seeing those surroundings again!   That black Wolzy (15/50?) I have often seen bedraggled and wet by the side of the road, somewhere around Niton IIRC...Vanguard was on sale this side of the Yarmouth ferry for strong money recently too.

Not really mate, just sort of came across it parked up in the ferry car park one morning, no one was more surprised than me to see it there.  There seem to be a metal plate riveted/screwed above one of the headlights measuring up to a true shitebodge fix-it type scenario which did make me chuckle.

 

Here is another shot of it;

Thanks, yes seen that one, it looks pretty rough. There is another one in Freshwater which is used all the time regardless of the weather, I have a picture of it somewhere...see if I can find it.

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

BOOF!!!

 

[mercrocker]

So there is at least three of these over there then!    Cannot imagine them being much more weather tight than my Cowley and I don't like leaving that out in the rain if I can help it...Nice to see them on the road though.   There is some great stuff being used on the Island that's for sure....

these always look cut-n-shut to me
