A few recent spots and some show pics.

[55bloke]

Been seeing a few more old motors about lately, so thought I may as well post a few pics.

We followed this little beauty briefly yesterday.

This was parked down by the canal basin in Sheffield. Nice to see in unrestored condition.

VERY tidy 205 in city centre car park.

This was in a local musem car park

Spotted this in Low Bradfield

And this was just down the road. Camera bateries had died, so had to use mobile 'phone!

We took a trip out to Lincs Aviation Heritage Centre recently, and spotted these en-route

And these when we got there.

I think this is my fave version of the 'Vette.

Lovely early Astra

And some nice Alfas

Some pics from a modified car show, which I'm sure will offend some, but I like - well, MOST of them!

This Merc looks absolutely right to me, though I know the chrome arches don't get much love from Autoshiters!

Not modified, just MINT!

I know we're not supposed to like Beetles, OR modified cars , on here, but I LOVE this! Subtle mods and nice paint.

Ditto this. Stunning chamelion paint and gorgeous wheels. I love it.

This is a shame though!

I bet that's a pig to go through the test.

Agree with you on the Goof - what a paint job!

[55bloke]

Glad you like, I was half expecting hoots of derision!! Looked superb in the flesh, changing from purple, through green, to dark brown depending on the angle it's viewed from. Bet it'd be a bugger to match if it gets scratched!

[55bloke]

Just realised - I forgot possibly the best! Saw this mouldering away nicely in a farm yard.

[55bloke]

Got a few more pics to add - this has been sitting on a drive not far from here for months

Nipped out to B&Q this morning, and didn't bother taking the camera. Typically, I regretted it! Saw this on the way there. Must be super rare, surely? I've certainly never seen one before.

and this on the way back! It's a Vanden Plas too!

Unbelievable!! Still, at least I had my 'phone, so excuse the crappy pics.

approx only a dozen mk1 fiesta fly convertables where made & possibly 2 mk2's.

[Lord Sterling]

Nice pics man, thanks for putting them up. I know how you feel about not having your camera, soon as that happens, shite appears!

 

One thing though, what is that white-ish thing by the Silver Polo at top right-hand corner of this pic? Looks like a horse or something?

Really? Hadn't realised they were quite THAT rare!

[55bloke]

You're right Lord Sterling - it's a fiberglass horse!! No idea why!

XR2i I think

That's nice. A bloke of one of those dreadful Alfa forums restored the red Spud. Sud owners are a proper breed of Alfisti however.

Looks like a 116 Giulietta next to it too - equally rare.

[Angrydicky]

OMG at the Niva and Maestro

[Shep Shepherd]

That Astra's lovely. I think it might be a 'Celebrity' special edition, going by the two-tone paint

[scooters]

green B bodied Daf.....nice

I thought so too!

Here are a few more recent spots:

Posted this is another thread, but going to add it here too. This is on a drive not far from us - used to be a Hillman Avenger Tiger outside this house.

This has also appeared local to us recently.

This looks like an on-going project.

Whilst this looks urgently in need of TLC!

Absolutely mint Polo seen in local supermarket carpark. Driven by exceedingly elderly gent. Suspect he's owned it from new, and it will have v. low milage.

[eddyramrod]

Need to get that Midget in a container quick and send it over here! Sooooooooooooooooo much I can make use of for my A40....

[Guest Leonard Hatred]

Would the rubber bumpers fit your A40?

[Angrydicky]

I was just thinking that. That Midget will have a 1500 Triumph engine, not a 1275 A series...

 

Great spots btw! Love the Allegro.

[55bloke]

Ok, here's a few more in this (very) occasional thread:

Absolutely mint Beemer-

Slightly less mint Veedub-

Poor quality phone pic - don't think I have ever seen one of these in the flesh before-

Delighted, and amazed, to see this little beauty in Meadowhall carpark!!

[55bloke]

Had to take an unexpected stroll round Sheffield last week, and didn't have my camera with me, which is a shame really!

There's still a few of these knocking about around here, but never seem to have any photographic device on me when I see one. This is a 1600 Ghia, allegedly!

I was totally astonished to see this lurking down a side street. Can't be many left which haven't been either restored or bangered!

I suspect it's had replacement front wings fitted - but not very well!

[55bloke]

Here's a few more- all taken yesterday on a visit to Merciamarina. Maybe canal boat folk like autoshite too!

Lovely GT6

Glorious old Beemer.

The inevitable Veedub bus

and almost as inevitable Minis

Triumph Herald looked decidedly rough, but seems to be sporting new sills, so maybe it's not doomed yet!

Ha ha ha!

Even MR Bolloxs mate on RR could do better than that The one who keeps deleting himself and starting again with a new name

[55bloke]

Ok, here are just a few more.

1st, a couple from the weekend at Rother Valley Country Park:

Next, a couple of unexpected visitors to a near by pub:

1966 Vauxhaul Victor 101 estate. Apparently, one owner from new 'til 2008!! Original and unrestored.

And, fully restored 1955 Chevy Belair 2 door hardtop. Just look at the size of it! That Vauxhaul was considered a big car at the time. These are owned by a couple of brothers!

[Captain Mainwaring]

Beautiful! The ('57?) Bel Air is goooorgeous!

[Madman Of The People]

Beautiful! The ('57?) Bel Air is goooorgeous!

 

 

1955 Bel Air.

Indeed, as mentioned with the photos!

D'oh, sorry mate. Posted that all bleary eyed first thing this morning.
