The man at the end of my road™

[red5]

 

 

Appeared at the end of (my) close again. Fairly sure it's the one I saw before.

 

Either way, still very lovely.

How do you do, I'm John Steed!

Bit different to find a Bentley at the top of the road but have you got a pic of your new Frontera?

Of course. 

[AlabamaShrimp]

Very nice. Now can I have your wheels, bumper and bull bars please

 

Has it still got its spare wheel thing on the boot? I'm really glad someone cut mine off. I know it's a bit useful but all that saved weight is better

[Asimo]

Boo, thought this thread was going to be about restoring one of these

[Inspector Morose]

See that hole above the reg plate? It's so you can get the pin in the towing eye easier when you have to drag them back. 

 

The other hole alongside is so you can attach an air line without removing the centre bit of  the bumper. It's only four screws ffs. Lazy feckers.

[Felly Magic]

Undoing 4 screws takes up valuable bollock scratching/tea drinking time

[red5]

Well then....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i was in this when that tax disc was current....

 

Watch this space.

Been in garden like that for years (by my parents house)

 

Bristol?! Isn't it??

[mercrocker]

Alvis 3 Litre.....There was one in Southampton decaying just like this, got swept up a year or so back.

In the wild ! Two Cap-rees in the same thread  

[red5]

Oh my god .....Saaaaaaabbb V4  - obviously the best engine.

 

 

 

 

[red5]

Wtf is this?

 

 

 

 

 

Lovely. Anyones?

 

[red5]

The chap who visits his friend (at the end of my close) in some unusual motor cars is back.

 

 

 

 

 

[red5]

Look at the cavalcade of win. Shame about the scuttle-shaker ruining the shot  

 

[AMC Rebel]

Wtf is this?

 

 

Daihatsu Materia.  I quite like 'em.

[red5]

Anyones? Deansway, Worcester  

 

[red5]

Bloody traders everywhere.....oh,wait...

 

 

 

[red5]

Avid followers will remember the chap who visits his friend/relative with the red Suzuki at the end of my close  - he's in what I consider to be his daily - 

 

 

 

 

V12 loveliness.

_{Holy thread ressurection Batman.}

 

_{He's back. In a Aldri AHate Lwb 6.0}

That looks vaguely familiar, was the air suspension jiggered at the front?

Not sure tbh - although it did look a little lower at the front than I'd expect. First time seeing an 'L' on a A8

[red5]

And he's back. In style.

That's a difficult one, first I thought Lancia, but no, I think it's British and coach built. A bit hard to establish the size of it but I think it's a Bentley.

Bentley Corniche Fixed Head Coupe, At its last MOT in 2016 it had done just under 36000 miles so this must have been one of its rare outings. 

[red5]

Not the end of my road, however....

Thought cars modified like these had gone. Beautiful. 

[red5]

See in the wild....a real one!

A forgotten ERA.
