Cooper645 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Saw three campers (motorhomes) travelling south on the A34 at about 1630, they were each towing a green Mini Moke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Other day in Halifax parked outside a garage was a Morris Minor Police car! Looked grand in its pale blue and white paint work. Regards, Steve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 We don't get much exciting around my neck of the woods but today on the side of the road for sale I spotted this, something that would have had my heart racing 20+ years ago when I was a fully paid up Land Rover nut, now, well I thought it looked nice, not sure if its a genuine Camel Trophy Disco or a replica, it did look quite convincing, externally at least & was very tidy, down to tan up holstery & zip out carry bag at the back of the centre consol. No roll cage or trip meters so I'm guessing a replica. Steve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 LOADS of old stuff on my way to work just now, but then my commute does take me just north of Chichester, and the Revival started this morning... There was the usual swarm of MGs, Jaguars etc, but highlights included a very patinated early Porsche 356 coupe, and my favourite being a Riley MPH (possibly a recreation given that there are more 'MPHs' built up with the correct parts from Riley saloons of the same era than there are genuine ones). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Why does it have a grille on the front? Kitcar? I suspect a 2CV lurks underneath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Agreed - fan position & what is visible of the front suspension looks very 2CV. On the way home from work, the highlight of the Revival traffic was a Jensen FF Mk1. However seeing all the classic cars out on the road only serves to make me feel guilty about the two I have which are not on the road, one since 2005, the other since 2016... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 After the psuedo Kubel picture above, Early on Saturday morning on the Newark bypass I saw a VW type 181 for the first times in years. https://www.justkampers.com/media/vehicle-models/thumbnails/Type181_1.jpg Dating from the early seventies, these were sold in the USA as the VW Thing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs2man Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Saw an Aston Martin DB3S in Nantwich this afternoon . I ran the registration through the DVLA website and it was registered as an Aston Martin but first registered in 1970 , so presumably a replica , though a very good-looking one . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) I lost these in the depths of Flickr somewhere, but fbook just reposted as a remember, so I grabbed them for your delectation! Not vintage buffs....... Just a nice old couple who haven't changed their car for 30+years!! They were wondering why I was taking pictures 😎 Edited September 15, 2019 by rob Lyttle Addition 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 VERY '60s! I'm amazed that it wasn't carried away by the tin worm years ago, though ... that was the fate of most Victors over here, even in the '60s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Only 3 of those F model estates left. Very smart. Better looking than the saloon. A local washing machine repair man had one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I'm amazed at how much it looks like a 1960s EK Holden wagon, I guess unsurprising in that they were both part of the great world wide GM family. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all looked a bit odd because the engine capacity was listed as 3500cc & I'm not aware of any Aston with a engine of that capacity . The original WO Bentley designed engine as fitted to the DB3S & DBR1 wouldn't go beyond 3 litres & the later Tadek Marek engine started at 3.7 litres in the DB4 . I wish I could remember the registration number so I could do some more investigation , but it's gone clean out of my head - it's my age you know 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 A few on the way to, and around, Hampshire on the weekend. Lovely little (and I'm always amazed these days just how little they are!) British Racing Green GT6, not so lovely hideous rubber bumper, SUV ride height MGB roadster in the same colour, stunning little bright yellow with black stripes original 911 and overnight in the hotel car park a lovely dark blue E-Type hardtop! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legit walked out of the shopping centre this afternoon and could not for the life of me recall where I'd parked the car. Had to walk around for 5 minutes (and it's not that big a car park!) before I found it. Old age, innit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
