Lord Sterling's spotted shite - THREAD RESURRECTION!! 😳

[UltraWomble]

Very nice chod spottage there

[Lord Sterling]

Want.

 

Aren't you on Flickr? I could swear I saw interior shots of that Daihatsu ages ago from after you cleaning it out.

I am indeed on Flickr, the Daihatsu was the Sirion? Little Green thing with a Eurocamp mat in it? It was one of our company cars, in fact the only one owned by the company, the rest were leased 2013 Skoda Fabias. The Sirion was not used by us unless the other house borrowed our Skoda Fabia.

Some brilliant stuff there LS, great spottage. Hard to pick a favourite but I love that Cavalier estate, seriously rare now. The Maestro Clubman looks stupendously clean as well. 

 

The FB Victor is 171 FUY, a local Worcester registration, last tax disc expired end of Feb 1997. Guess it's been sitting there since then, poor thing.

It is indeed rare, however, I seemed to missed uploading another Cavalier estate, in the same colour that I saw in Telford not a few weeks back.

 

Glad you found the reg for the FB Victor, it belongs to the father of the fella who owns the Black Sterling. I'm off to see him today so no doubt we'll be chatting about these old cars.

Congrats on some top spottages again, LS....Not least because it revived a thread I hadn't seen all of before.   Most enjoyable!

BUMP FUR A PROPPA THREAD INNIT LIKE BRUV

[Biggles]

Found on a farm in Northern Ireland. Appears to be running old Ford mechanicals.

[Biggles]

An old Austin allegedly used to transport the young princess Elizabeth and her mum around Northern Ireland when they visited here in the 1950's

[Biggles]

Spotted in Malta this year

[worldofceri]

Excellent work, Mr. Biggles, however, may I respectfully direct you to the communal spotting thread, namely the Lazy Spotters' Thread?

[Lord Sterling]

I found some other pics I'd missed off the first time around, but as they were mixed in with more recent stuff, I'd decided to just chuck 'em on here. Aren't you lot lucky:

 

 

 

 

Another Cavalier Estate, also in Grey...

 

 

 

 

So, Mr Rover 623i, your career started in 1999 when you first...

 

Yank stuff, the Yellow car was fully panel'd up last time I saw it:

 

 

WE.BOUGHT.BRITISH...

 

 

 

Got love for these Cavaliers, particularly on those alloys, this car is local and driven by some rusty old bark...

 

 

Fiat Uno, dos, tres etc...

 

 

 

Volvo Estates here in this part of North Worcestershire seem to be almost as popular as up in Scotland. There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by without me seeing one of these Turbo brick things:

 

 

 

Sigh...

 

Yeah, cheers, thanks for that.... 

 

 

Worth some coin/Ford scene tax/Terry in Minder used to have one them etc...

 

 

Check out the '2.0D' badging on this miserable thing:

 

Beetle ala: WorldofCeri, driven by some old doffers.

 

THE SAINT Volvo:

 

When I worked for a living recently, I spotted this outside some house. Made enquiries and apparently it's up for £900, Original engine apparently, needs work though.

 

More Volvo brick action:

 

North Worcestershire's answer to crime:

 

Again, whilst 'working' our driver, a Cornish Ford fan, inquired about this, it wasn't for sale.

 

GOLD MERC ALERT!

 

E34 520i, chap had owned it since new. I want an E34. Please help.

 

More to come, because apparently you can't post more than 50 images per post 

[Lord Sterling]

Not a lot more but y'know...

 

More money than sen...oh wait...

 

W in TF is this? Not much prettier than the estate i snapped it in.

 

Someone is living the (motoring) dream:

 

 

Not entirely sure why I got a shot of this but hey, it's here so get over it.

 

Thats yer lot......

[mercrocker]

These are great, LS...Particularly the bloke who has TWO '57 Chevrolets on his front garden. What's with the straw around that W126, d'you think? Crap nativity scene or trying to leach some damp out of the sills? Thanks for showing us these - some nice spots there.

Cheers Rocker man!

 

The stuff around the 126 looks like some half-arsed attempt at clearing their garden where they just sort of gave up half way and shoved the foliage by the unused Merc.

Your spots are my spots except I can't be arsed with photographing half them!!

 

The blue j plate R8 Rover is a 218td which I sold to my mate with a genuine 70,000 miles and two owners from new ☺

 

Body getting a bit tatty now though

 

The Volvo is genuinely the Saint car and is owned by the chap with the Volvo fetish who has got a 480 shell on his drive, I'm sure you know who i mean!

Wow! Interesting....

 

Yes, I was told about the Saint car being genuine and I often see that shell of a Volvo 480, I think it was a celebration.

 

Does the 218TD live near Callow Hill? I remember passing there one time and seeing the same coloured R8 on a bit of land in front of a house where there was a load of other shitey cars in various states of disrepair.

[MarvinsMom]

i'm loving the austin metro GS with turbo/advantage cross spoke alloys. 

 

yum.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Yes that's the chap, good mate of mine. He has serious car collection issues. Has loads but they are all knackered. Works on one for a bit then gets bored and does another.

 

Got barn full of shite too

[lincolndanny]

Intel required on the Espero! Where on earth in the country is it??!??

[D Spares & Tyres]

Stourport on Severn, Worcestershire!

Oh for gods sake I cant use the distance excuse!

Interesting. I wonder if it is worth approaching him and asking about possible storage? Apparently the neighbours who saw me pull into his drive told me he is quite an amiable bloke who could about cars for hours. Where my cars are now are Ok but not great so I'm looking for undercover storage if possible.

Espero has also been standing for a while according to the moss growing underneath it. Then again, this is Autohsite and many of us like a challenge (except me)

That is clearly owned by a doctor.

Selling half the Dream!!

[Partridge]

Nice spots! The XJ40 looks familiar - has it been on here before?

[D Spares & Tyres]

Sorry he has no space for other people's cars!

 

I'm stuck for some decent storage too, I only have indoor space for 5 and that's nowhere near enough!

 

I'm always looking for other premises for myself though,

[Spottedlaurel]

Particularly impressed to see the Legend, looks to be enthusiast-owned? Been a good few years since I last saw one of that generation.

Seriously man, this guy had 4 cars under car covers and something like 8 around the side. I really want to see if there are any series 1 Sterlings under there or see what they are at least, I reckon it's all mid 80s Honda stuff possibly. The mad thing is, I passed this road a few times before in nicer weather, my curiosity was pinged but I didn't take any notice.

Hey Tom! I might know of more storage if you are willing to leave cars inside those old metal shipping containers. There is a chap around here that has some. I bet you know him too.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Is he Italian?
