Dicky, I wonder whether the big Jag lives outside or is usually in that garage? If it isn't under cover, it begs the question, what is in there?!
Good point. Now I know what's down there I'll drive by every so often and see if anyone wants to chat. Plus, as I was there during normal work hours, there may be more interesting vehicles to be seen in the evening and at weekends.Local man suspected of stalking older cars.
Photos are a bit ropey, but I was clearing some clutter off a memory card and turned these up...
I know....! 
Just look at the offset on that bumper! Spotted at Polesden Lacey (NT house) during their themed period Christmas opening.
Best I could do with the available light. Sat on a gravel driveway outside a house in rural Hampshire.
Best shot I could get in the brief time I had to drag the camera out and point'n'shoot. Driven rather enthusiastically, but not irresponsibly, toward me in Arborfield. VOD 42K - A lovely little Alfa Romeo 1750, sounded great!

Sat next to me in the front, my brother was not at all amused... he was actually driving at the time!
Anyway a passing farmer dragged us out and we got home without further incident. The only damage was a detached front number plate. I soon had that back on before our parents got up the next morning, so they never did find out about that little excursion.

We had one back in about 1990. E-reg I think, in Grandad burgundy. It was actually all right, wooden dash etc. My most vivid memory was of me yanking on the hand-brake on the way home after a winter country pub crawl. Sure enough we ended up in the ditch.

It was Christmas Eve. Could have put a dampener on festivities. Sat next to me in the front, my brother was not at all amused... he was actually driving at the time!

Not a bad snotter - didn't it have a weird ufo style interior light?

I must now live in the worst area of the country for classics. I can't remember the last time I saw anything older than 15 years...
Could it be that you're not tuned into them? There's a possibly I live in an unusually classic-rich area where the well-to-do have older cars as hobbies and on the other side of the tracks they are used out of necessity.
