Black Knight Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Back in late 1970s I knew several RUC officers. Due to terrorist activity they were advised to changes their car at least every 5 or 6 months. Change to a non-descript car was advised. Top 5 cars on their list were all versions of the Allegro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brown Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This thing! This was coming down church street in Great Malvern. It's a very steep hill, as you can see! He must be very brave! I think that's his foot coming through the floor to help him stop! Rick. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Pa used to work on these things, and when I showed him the picture I couldn't stop him ranting on about how bad they were! Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I've not seen much about worth reporting recently. Went off to west Yorkshire today, Saw a Honda S2000 on the way there and an S reg Celica in Lincoln later. Oh, and a bonkers American pickup with HUGE exhaust stacks on the A15 this evening.

Bordfunker Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Some very interesting, well to me, spots this week so far: Jensen CV8 Not 1, but 3 Lamborghini Aventadors on the M25 A car transporter full of original Fiat 500s, 600s and 750s in coupe, saloon & multiple variants, all mint. Scimitar Mk2 And it's only Wednesday! Karl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killingholme Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Spotted a 1957 Chevy in Northampton today- Only a very quick glance, but I think it was a 210 model rather than a proper glamorous 'Bel Air'. The main external difference is the wedge shaped panel on the rear wings is painted instead of the Bel Air's corrugated aluminium finish. My 'spot' was a four-door sedan rather than the ultra-desirable pillar-less sedan. No matter, it was still "Sweet, Smooth and Sassy" to quote Chevy's 1957 slogan....

Bordfunker Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 A very eclectic selection on the way home tonight: Rover P6 Sunbeam-Talbot 90 Mk2 Jaguar Triumph GT6 Rover SD1 Estate The SD1 wasn't a genuine Rover prototype, but a home conversion using the rear end of a Volvo 240 estate.

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 I prefer that to the current model. The Yugo factory was destroyed (thankfully) during the Yugoslav conflict. Last thursday, an Immaculate Mk 1 VW Scirocco in white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
