Just took our 59 Astra (yuk) down for a service and spotted this (Oooooooo). 280SL, 'A' reg (1983?) and it is immaculate, outside and in. Clearly a loving owner.

That looks like the address on your computer, sorry, but to post pictures here on Britmodeller you need to host them on a picture hosting website, something like Flickr which is a popular choice here, & then insert the link from that into your post. There is a thread on picture hosting.

On the A217, an immaculate dark grey 1959 Rover 100 saloon.

Rather more attractive than the Metro facelift that got that nameplate!

Spotted southbound on the M11 today, an immaculate H suffix dark green MGC GT.  Very tidy, and having no problem keeping up with the traffic.  Later, as I joined the M25, a red classic Mini with a severely chopped roof.  Didn't look in proportion to the body, unlike a proper Mini Sprint.

This is a local oddity, a ratted 1999 Mazda B - series

 

Each to their own.

No photo as I was next to it at the Army and Navy, but somebody in Chelmsford has a 22 reg A110 in the right colour. Very good looking car, especially in the rear view mirror when he had all four lights on!!!

For some reason I think that is really cool - and I usually hate 'rat looks'...!!

Hi all

 

Went to the double retros meet at Headcorn Aerodrome on Sunday 23rd , between 3 -400 vehicles came along, awesome meet. 

 

One of my faves, although my son thought the blue 911 Turbo next tk it was, heathen!!!

 

 

I suspect @keefr22 will salivate over this one

 

Cool chop on Airbags, sounded great as we left too

 

 

Lovely Desoto

And wonderful Chevy, loved the lacing on the roof, Zoom in looks great.

 

Awesome 912 Targa

 

Haven't seen one of these for years, must have been well protected from the tinworm

 

Lovely Replica, was chatting to the owner and this is quite a faithful replica, awesome motor and returns a whopping 13 mpg on a run, 3-4 on the track, wow.

 

Early Caddy

 

Two gorgeous RS2000s

 

 

Lovely pickup, think it was a Chevy

 

A cracking day out with autojumble too, bought a set of headlight grills, new for £10, if that had been a VW show would have cost 3 times that!!!

 

Thanks for looking

Chris

Spotted these while on holidays. 

 

This little beauty we encountered en route to the ferry to Finland, while in Germany. It was in the town square where we had dinner, a young couple just drove up and parked it to have a drink. 

 

 

Gorgeous. Funny, it was parked next to an AMG Mercedes and the owner of the little tractor really enjoyed me taking a picture of his ride, rather than of the Benz! 🙂 

 

Later on I came across this one, it's in Jämsä, Finland. Pitty there are some "tags" on it, but it's a really nice display anyway.

I'm with you there, that looks much more interesting than an AMG Mercedes... but then again it does feel as though I work in footballer alley judging by some of the cars around there.

Is the steering lock really necessary?😉

 

That is super clean, really well looked after motor.👍

Even if it was they're absolutely useless...!! Had an Astra GTE nicked twice despite using one (I'm a slow learner, you'd have thought I'd have learnt the first time...!! 🤣)

Bleu Alpine? In my book that is THE colour for Alpine A110. That or Bleu Alpine Heritage.

A beauty isn't she... I know nothing about it, when we were done eating it was time to move on so I just snapped this quick pic.

She's a beauty,i've got a soft spot for the Montego,owned a couple in the past and the only one of the range i'd even think about buying....A mate bought a Maestro once though and got so fed up with it he used it for target practice with a divers harpoon gun,they didn't actually go all the way through but one did manage to go through one back door and halfway through the other side....
