Paul H Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 A Wolseley 6/110 (big Farina) in what looked like pretty smart condition, going the other way this morning. Yesterday afternoon, a 1956 Chevy Bel Air hardtop. No pics though, as I was driving. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 A ‘D’ reg (1966) Mk.2 Jag in silver. Very nice indeed. Trevor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Because nothing says 1970s like a brown Vauxhall Victor... Today was car show day in the local park, as and with last year it was mostly hotrods and some very tasty classic and not-so-classic Americana with some homegrown stuff thrown in. Rather than clog up the thread (particularly as Google doesn't seem to shrink pictures), here's the full set of pics: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fZn5A9ht3JkFDkg5A 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 On my way to work this morning 4.15 am got overtaken by an R reg Ford Capri 3.0 litre S ( I think that's what it said still dark ) in white. From what I could see it looked mint. What I did notice is how much brighter modern headlights are ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2Don Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Yesterday on A414 outside Chelmsford, lovely red (what else!) Dino 246, turned off towards Highwood. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Lincoln to Essex and back today. And it may be a cliche', but on an Essex country road I saw a G reg Mk 1 Capri! On the A14 near Cambridge a red soft top Herald and a Jeep in wartime markings. On the A15 near Sleaford, a Ford Crown Victoria. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR2Don Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 On Tuesday, in Danbury, a red MG 'T' type, driving up a steep narrow lane (we were walking) to a very steep entry onto the A414 - not easy for it. Not a TF (grille too upright), but I'm not up on the series enough to know which variant it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Beautiful metallic blue NSU Ro80 in Morrisons car park in Nantwich this lunchtime Edited September 6, 2019 by rs2man Corrected autocorrect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I always loved the looks of the Ro80. Back in the day you could chuck in a Ford V6 and it would be even more economical! I wonder if you could put in a Ford 1800 from a Mondeo? Oh, and maybe a clutch system that didn't work from a button on the gearstick. But keep the body as is, please.

Max Headroom Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 An H reg (1990) Testarrossa in yellow (Testagiallo?) (Blond?) in Willaston of all places Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Very nice looking mid metallic blue Mk2 MR2 parked up next to a tatty, rough round the edges, matt black Calibra that was up on ramps. My son's first car was a really nice metallic turquoise Calibra that he scrapped when the cam belt went - apart from that 'slight' problem it was immaculate, and would now be worth a fair bit as a rolling shell!

Mr T Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) On the A1 yesterday a blue G reg Triumph Herald, haven't seen one in ages, Presumably as most have rusted through around the front end. As a bonus, near Duxford on the M11, the Blenheim flew over Edited September 7, 2019 by Mr T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper645 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 A31 today, an Arial Atom with reg AT03 OOM, had the yellow colour in the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs2man Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I was out this afternoon warming up the better half's Astra to see if I'd fixed the coolant leak when I saw a De Lorean coming the other way . Very surprised by that . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 In Dinant this afternoon, a grey Citroën Traction Avant, not sure of the exact model, coincidentally watched an old Maigret last night on my IPod. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 On our way to York today there were two Vauxhall Nova SR’s , both unmodified , one in yellow , the other a metallic blue , in convoy . I had a red SR back in the day and these two brought back all sorts of memories. Then a bit further up the A19 a red Mk 2 Vauxhall Astra GTE , the one with the digital dashboard ! Maybe there was a Vauxhall classic meet on nearby . By then I was in 80 ‘ s hot hatch heaven !! Love cars from this , my era . Gary . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold it after it was stolen and recovered for the third time! Replaced it with a Belmont SRi, not as quick but I actually found it nicer to drive and the toerags obviously wouldn't be seen dead stealing a 4 door Astra with a boot as they never touched it! Great engine too - it broke a cambelt but with non interference valves there was absolutely no damage done! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Forgot a spot from last week - in Morrison's car park in Brecon, a very tidy Citroen 2CV 'Dolly' special edition, looking very cute in black and cream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
