Rob G Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Unusually, as I haven't seen one for quite a few years, no less than 2 Mini Mokes in a week. They used to be quite common, but have become somewhat scarce in the last decade or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 A Lancia Stratos was turning into the local pub’s classic car meet yesterday. Also a Bullitt mustang and various other lovelies from mid 1930ies onwards. It’s every third Wednesday so I didn’t stop this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco F. Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I also think it is a Bristol, wonderful cars, and here on the continent most of the people don't even no these cars, I love these cars, somehow the best way for understatement. And the flury Ka... that's the way to customie this vehicle.... Marco F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yesterday we went to the former RAF North Coates for a wings and wheels meet. Cars present included a TR6, a Marcos, two Moggy Thou saloons and one flatbed pickup, a 1935 Ford and I think, an MG TD. But then there was this huge land yacht in green. A 1970 Dodge Polara four door in very nice condition. Read what it says under the Station Wagon. 'Carries a 4 x 8 sheet, perfectly flat'. That is one BIG car! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs2man Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Saw an immaculate red MGA this evening . Unusually it was on steel wheels with chrome hubcaps rather than wires . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the illustration I was wondering what defines a sedan & what defines hardtop? The hardtop doesn't have a B pillar. So it would probably need a hardtop? If you google pictures of these they were used as Police cars. You'd probably get four prisoners in the back! Oh, and land a Helicopter on the hood! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Two nice Pugs today, rather pretty young lady about to drive a very tidy 306 through a car wash, and then a beautifully painted, mildly modified metallic red 106. Two more cars that used to be ten a penny but hardly seen these days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess 'scrappage schemes' have played a big part in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Saw a really nice Cobra replica on the way into work this morning . I checked the registration on the DVLA website & found it was a Hawk , It was dark blue with white stripes , Halibrand wheels & a fastback hardtop like the 1963 Le Mans cars . The DVLA said 3500cc , so I'm assuming Rover power . It certainly sounded well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Cruising up the A12 today coming back from Billericay. This appears in the mirror.....and passes. 1956, 4.9 litre. S1 series fastback. Never seen one before. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Yesterday going down the hill outside the house a lovely little Herald convertible in a pretty, light duck egg blue sort of colour that I've not seen before so it might be custom paint. Assuming he lives locally but not seen the car before. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
