JeroenS Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just now, a two-tone Ford Taunus 1.6 Ghia... on a flatbed! After he burned through some Vauxhall Viva's, my grandfather drove a couple of Taunuses (I hope it's the correct plural 🙂) . In fact I even drove one of them sometimes, back when I just had my license. I remember it had an automatic gearbox with no less then 3 gears! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting to the age where nostalgia tends to take over, but that Aston is truly beautiful. I love both of these, but I's rather have the Aston...

bentwaters81tfw Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 A cream MG TC and a red and grey Wolseley 1500, with very fat rear wheels and a cut down axle. I suspect it was more than 1500cc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 On the way to Scotland passed an early 1960s Hillman Minx and in Wooler a WWII Jeep. In Kelso two SAAB 96, one in a very bright metallic green. Also a Red Jaguar XK140 and 'E' Type coupe. Also a lot of motorcycles came through of all makes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Lincoln today. An old TVR, a Tuscan I think, with a rollcage. Then a pimped up 90's Cadillac and later a red Montego estate. Not seen one of those in a long time. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I got around a bit today. In Oakham at the showground they were setting up for a National Street Rod weekend. I saw a few rods and in the distance a '55 Chevy. Later, in Bourne, a '68 Pontiac Firebird droptop the same colour as this one below with an off white roof. https://ccmarketplace.azureedge.net/cc-temp/listing/113/7103/13254727-1968-pontiac-firebird-std_f.jpg And as I went home, in Lincoln, an L reg VW1500 estate in bright orange. Not seen one in ages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 In Lincoln today, A J reg (91) Sierra Chasseur. That's one of the run out models with alloy wheels and, (gasp) tilt adjust steering wheel. I think I've spotted the Sierra before. Later, just South of the city, a pair of Jensen Interceptors in convoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love the Sierra no matter what people used to call it (upturned bathtub!,peasants),,Cossie Saphires used to be two a penny over here now there's not one you see on the road....Another thing that impressed me with Ford names was they used to be somewhere exotic Capri/Cortina/Granada etc and i end up with a Fusion and it doesn't look anything like a DeLorean!....

Cossies & XR4's (test drove a RS500 - wow!!) were fine but the one owner (bought from wife's dad), three year old, 10,000 mile 1600 Azura (think that's what the 'limited edition' thing was called) was one of the worst cars I've ever driven. It was completely gutless, horrendous in any sort of crosswind, and they must have employed some work experience kid to do the NVH engineering. Absolutely hateful thing....!!  Keith 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Evening sunshine brought a few out on Gower yesterday - nice classic Rover Mini, lovely TR6 and a tidy Moggy Traveller. And a fully rally prepared Citroen C2 that looked properly sorted. Â K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbdesignart Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Half a dozen or more assorted original Minis heading toward Whitby. I smelt the oil from the first two climbing out of Thornton Dale before the front one dropped a hose, the second ran over it and they both came to a halt. Ahh memories of my first car. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
