Up in the Lakes today, I took a detour to take a photo of a Sunbeam Stiletto body shell I recall seeing in a field a few years ago. As you can see, it has morphed into a Clan Crusader shell!

The Fiat 130 Coupe is on my Fantasy Must Have One Day List.

Line, form and proportion; all there.

I think I saw one today,on the M25.
It was too far ahead to see properly and there was no chance of catching it up with my vmax of 56.

got it in one

It's a great looking car, shame to see it in such an unloved state. Hopefully it's not been left to die.

But unless it has MOT/Insurance/Tax it is probably illegally parked and likely to be towed if noticed by the local council or disgruntled neighbours.
I drive past this Landrover everyday on my way to work, It has been parked there since January 2015, before that it was parked on the other side of the street for several weeks. It has petrol cans in the back. I thought of putting a notice on it seeing if the if the owner wanted to sell. Someone must had the same thought, a notice appeared. It's now gone...the paper not the car! It's a shame it's being left to rot.

Is that left to die, or can the owner just not get it out of the space!

More 'abandoned chic' than actually abandoned as it has tax, MOT & insurance. But I haven't seen it move in 6 months. Very cool though.

On my lunchtime wander I've seen this car/shell a few times. They appear to have cleared away some of the weeds so I could actually see it. Still have no idea what it is I'd previously assumed it was a Reliant Scimitar but now I can see it isn't. Anyone able to id it?
