rml2345 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Feel the need to reply... This is a top thread of spots! Particularly the abandoned Montynogo.Keep ''em coming PLZ. Jack_Harpers_Teeth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Harpers_Teeth Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 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. michiel and Jim Bergerac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 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.

catsinthewelder Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Great thread JHT That Hornet looks odd with a yellow plate and placcy trims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coalnotdole Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 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 Dave Jack_Harpers_Teeth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Harpers_Teeth Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 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.

Squire_Dawson Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 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 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertz Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nice spots sir! The Alpine GTA is of particular interest, any more info on it Jack? LHD by the look of it? Jack_Harpers_Teeth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 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.

Jack_Harpers_Teeth Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nice spots sir! The Alpine GTA is of particular interest, any more info on it Jack? LHD by the look of it?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; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
