othertales Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I had to double check online to make sure it wasn't supposed to be wood either and that my memory wasn't playing tricks on me 😂 2 2
HK-500 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 As for the Landie paint job, could it be minium/anti rust paint ?

othertales Posted February 18 Posted February 18 And I was looking at it in real life! Although I tried being as brief as possible, not wanting to be too intrusive looking closely or touching a stranger’s rear 🙃 8
HK-500 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Good evening , guys😉 YELLOW !!!!! It's a spotless Lancia Delta HF😍 , as seen in the quaint little town of Banyuls. See you😎 9 9
lestwistle Posted February 18 Posted February 18 i would have either one of them ,old landie's are much better than their newer counterparts,and as for the trumff takes me back to early days of apprenticeship 3
Windy37 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 After all these years Integrale's just look so , err , right . Stunning car , especially in yellow . Roof spoiler down as well - that's a rare sight . Gary 2 3
klubman01 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 The Delta Integrale - such a cool car. Definitely top of the "I want one" list. Trevor 5
kiseca Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Yeah the Integrale was an instant classic. I've never had the pleasure of driving one, I remember the stir they caused in the press at the time though. They still look good! 2 3
Farmer matt Posted February 19 Author Posted February 19 A poor shot as it got boxed in whilst I was grabbing the camera, but a 2009 Ford Flex Limited, something I have not seen before. Matt 8
Pete in Lincs Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Early this afternoon in Newark, Notts, An early sixties Alvis. Silver and in dire need of a wash and scrub up, I got the idea that it gets regular use. I gave the driver a thumbs up and got one in return. I have a feeling I also saw it there a few years ago and reported it in a similar condition. Link below to a pic of an Alvis. Not the one I saw, but still a lovely design IMHO. https://f7432d8eadcf865aa9d9-9c672a3a4ecaaacdf2fee3b3e6fd2716.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/C2633/U197/IMG_3958-large.jpg 5 2
Sabrejet Posted February 21 Posted February 21 I'll post some more later, but here's star of today's Race Retro; the unique Leonard MG, built in 1955 and raced the following year by Chris Bristow. In beautiful, original, barn-find condition. 18
Zephyr Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I saw another (see my posts on the previous SOTD thread I think...) Ford Model A. this time a roadster with the back cut off to make a small flat-bed truck. This one was on a full registration, which is unusual, In the great state of Queensland (jokes on a postcard not mailed to me, thanks) you can get a club registration, which means limited annual mileage and you have to be either testing the vehicle or on a club run to be on the public road. If the vehicle meets the roadworthy requirements for the year of manufacture indicated by the chassis number/VIN, for a little extra cost you can get normal registration and drive the vehicle with no restrictions. For a Model A that would mean functional headlights, two red taillights (I think) and a single red brake light right of centre. You might also require a windscreen wiper of some sort, I've seen Austin 7s with single arm hand-cranked wipers so I think anything that vaguely constitutes a wiper is OK. I'm not sure what's brought on the local prevalence of Model As, although as a basket-case needing restoration they are relatively cheap. They're also relatively practical if you stay on the back roads- the brakes are adequate for the performance, and most parts are available. 5
Sabrejet Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Driving round the Wiltshire/Dorset border this afternoon and spotted this flat-tyred Scimitar needing some TLC: 12 1

The 3-litre engine only produces 100 to 115hp depending on the model but they get up and go, no trouble in modern traffic. 3
klubman01 Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Nice to see an Elf out and about. Nice "posh" Mini, but not as posh as the Wolseley Hornet variant. Neither are very numerous these days. Trevor 3 1
lestwistle Posted February 23 Posted February 23 both of these had a habbit of getting you on the back of the head when under the bonnet ..............ouch !!!!!!!!!! 🤪 1
Vesa Jussila Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Something modern that I like. And just in a ordinary street at Hamburg. 10
paul-muc Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Sometimes I like the design of a Porsche: On this model it is the front with the integration of the headlights in the coachwork. Beautiful. 1

Farmer matt Posted March 1 Author Posted March 1 I'm getting slow, another snatched shot. This made a spirited getaway from the lights, too. The licence plate says Ford,with an added ?, and Mills Special. Matt 3
