desert falcon Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Also passed by this rather strange collection of cars. I have seen them before, on my way to the embassy renewing our passports now and then. They might look British but they are not (except for the white Range Rover of course). Anyone care to take a guess what they might be be? If it helps, I can say that though not being British, the steering wheel is still on the wrong side 😉 And a couple made in the UK I presume, or maybe even „chopped off“ in the UAE? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe both are Mitsuokas. The tiny one is Micra-based Mitsuoka Viewt and the big one is Cedric-based Mitsuoka Galue. Look up Mitsuoka, you'd be fascinated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Early this morning, on the A1 Southbound and somewhere jst South of Grantham, a D reg Austin Montego looking in great condition. Later in Cambridge, a pair of lovely '60's Rollers parked nose to nose in a driveway. Near to a big park, if you know Cambridge. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1159 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I know people knock 'em but i had a couple of Montego 1.6's and they were reliable and looked ok,compared to what else was available at the time from Austin/Rover i liked them... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 On our holidays, driving down the A14/M11 when we saw a Bedford QL with office body, followed by a Bedford MW with a GS? body. This afternoon on our way to Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, had a black Austin Somerset pass by in the opposite direction, and in the car park near the reserve was a white Jaguar S Type partly sheeted over and a red 1967 Volvo 122. Not seen one of those for a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy37 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 A small gathering of classics at a park near me today . Here's a few that took my fancy . Matra Simca and French friends And finally one from my boy racer days , a very rare Citroen AX GT500 , limited edition run of 500. I used the Flikr app on my phone to post these for the first time , as opposed to my tablet , so hopefully they have been posted correctly !

Chimpion Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Today I encountered a convoy of Mercedes SLKs and related models all enjoying the sun with the roof down. Around ten of them passed me, many with some kind of club/event plaque on the front bumper, so obviously an organized event. There were more waiting to turn out of a side road. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desert falcon Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Nothing to special today, just some 4x4’s which I usually see on my daily exercise. Wouldn’t mind crossing the Empty Quarter with an experienced driver in this one … Nothing AMG or Brabus about this one, but much cooler if you ask me !! This one has clearly seen some action too, And finally my all time favorite, the „small-scale“ Suzuki Jimny Have seen these in action in the desert and they are remarkable capable! Nice to see this one being used for what it was actually build for = adventure. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
