One of the guests at my mates BBQ turned up in this the other week.





Lovely colour and in really good condition.

No pics but came back to my van today to find a loverly little Sunbeam Alpine mk IV(according to the badge) parked next to me and just now past a whale of a Vauxhall Viscount parked at the roadside.

Quite a rare spot yesterday early evening, a yellow Trident Venturer sitting in traffic on the Northbound M11 just outside Cambridge.

Spotted a lovely Austin Healey 3000 in Southport in Merseyside yesterday afternoon parked up at the side of the road, not everyday you see a great classic like this parked up, first Healey I've seen up close that wasn't at a car show. Certainly stood out from the crowd - a true classic, just wish more people used them regularly rather just for show purposes.

Also, a dark green Morgan 4 seater with an assortment of badges on the side, with hood down, heading past Silcocks amusements around 2pm; can't count the number of times I've seen a Morgan in Southport; love Morgan's, but those 4 seaters just look terrible imo, they completely spoil the flowing lines of the 2 seater just so people can ride in the back - if you can fit in the back that is, and with the hood up, they look even worse, but each to their own I suppose. It's strange that, with the Austin Healey 100/3000, they made both a 2 seater and ones with small seats in the back, but the 4 seater doesn't compromise or spoil the lines of the car one bit, unlike the Morgan and E-Type.

Very briefly spotted some type of white bubble car (possibly a Messerschmitt) heading towards the Victoria park/Tesco area around 2.15.

Certainly no Garage Queen (was actually dirtier than my car )

Without doubt my best spot for a long time was seen having just crossed London Bridge, towing a Land Rover Defender...


This 1922 Burrell had been attending the 2014 cart-making ceremony.

Lives in the village next to me (Hadlow Down), I see it going past quite often along with a lot of other ones.

Must have been quite a drive home from there!

Saw it along the A22 in Whyteleafe this week also, I guess on its way home.

I believe that's the most common colour in the UK.

That is actually rare Woodcote Green -you mistaken it for the common colour of British Racing Green.

What is this, please? Cartell reckons it's a Ford but dowsn't say which flavour.

A special based on a 1936 Avis Firebird Tourer

Caught sight of a PINK Rolls today along the M3 with the registration number FAB 1.
Stupidly thinking the driver could be "Lady Penelope" I tried to catch up, realising she wasn't a real person thought it a bit stupid. However the driver did look a bit like "Parker"

Brings back some childhood memories, my old man had one in that colour, the TI version, 3spd auto with kugelfisher mechanical injection, built like a tank
