Killingholme Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Saw an A-Reg Montego in Tesco carpark today. Must be quite rare for one to survive right from the initial launch year. Even more remarkable survivor considering it was a VERY beige and utterly bog-standard 'L' model. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hibaldstow (Lincs) skydiving open day today. Several Morris Minor/1000's. Jaguar Mk 2 in Black & quite original looking. Opel Ascona (Think Mk 1 Cavalier) WW2 Jeep & WW2 (1943) Fordson Fire Engine (RAF) Mk 3 Capri 2.8 injection in remarkable original condition. Ford Sierra, again in remarkable original condition. They both had less than 50,000 on the clock. Oh, and a few aeroplanes too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I only nipped out briefly today as trying to work on my Triumph Herald, however, saw a very tidy, white MkIII Capri, looking totally stock, and all the better for it. Karl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLC1966 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Down on the Salisbury to Shaftesbury A30 yesterday about 1545hrs, saw a pair of Mk 2 Escorts, a Mk 1 Cortina, four Ferrai's, an Audi Quattro & some type of sporty Lancia, obviously coming from a Show somewhere, but to me, most impressively was a 1982 Suzuki Katana GSX1100EFE up in Shaftesbury itself, very nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 A Renault Twizy. In Birkenhead. Why? Trevor Petrol-Head 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Despite it being Monday, the glorious weather brought out some equally glorious classics. The A30 served up a rather tatty Citroen 2CV, and in sharp contrast a pristine Fiat 124 Spyder, in white with Matt black bonnet and boot lid. No to be outdone, the M25 saw a tidy, but slightly careworn Jaguar Mk1 saloon in black on a trailer. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 There is a yellow Mk1 Capri in town that has been slightly customised, but still very tidy. The Allegro estate I have mentioned before in Harvest Gold still sits on a drive, after having sat in a back garden for a long time. It's all there, but the owner could do with moving it on, it was Grannies car. He has a big MAZ truck and 3 Landys to contend with, so if anybody wants an Allegro to restore, let me know.

Chimpion Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yesterday in Newmarket, an Alfa Romeo Guillietta Spider from around 1960 in beautiful condition. I think it was a Guillietta, but it clearly had a 1600 badge and Wikipedia claims that model only came with a 1300cc engine.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Today in Lincoln, pale metallic blue Opel Manta 'L' reg plate. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=opel+manta&biw=1366&bih=589&tbm=isch&imgil=RlaQ-4JnfKkpYM%3A%3B8QcWA2AcSP_O5M%3Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fclassics.honestjohn.co.uk%252Freviews%252Fopel%252Fmanta-a%252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=RlaQ-4JnfKkpYM%3A%2C8QcWA2AcSP_O5M%2C_&usg=__Rvm_H9HnmhkQU4GdbEwiJ29haQM%3D In Horncastle this afternoon a 'J' reg TR6 in red. If anything this was too shiny. It looked like it needed to be at Earls Court for the motor show. If you see what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing you probably weren't on the A30 in Staines with a caravan, unless you have very low holiday expectations! On the way in to work this morning I saw the ultimate Yorkshire car, no not a Jowett, a Volkswagen E-up! I kid you not! Did no one in VW's marketing department say that out loud! Also an early Porsche 911 and a Mercedes SL 'panzerwagen'. Karl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 A30 goes as far as Staines, blimey, nope, I was still in tractor country (Zumazet and Dooooorset). Silly me, of course the A30 goes that far, just Googlemapped and realised I spent a shed load of time on the road around Winchester/Basingstoke/Camberly back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorby Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Went for on a shortish drive through the city and saw a Masa-ratty (Granturismo?). It's the second one I've seen this week (the other one was black and parked outside the chippy) – they must be dead common, ten a penny around here. A little later I saw something else that may be of some interest. Not being a car bod I don't know what it is. Is it an Austin? Two seconds later I saw a nice Triumph Herald convertible. Sorry about the photo quality - dashcam. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
