With the improved weather I've been riding my bike a bit more and seem to see abandoned classics/semi-classics everywhere. Here's todays haul.
Maybe I just live in a rough part of town...

We had an Interceptor in yesterday for MoT. It was a British Racing Green 7.2. Lovely.

The owner was polite but firm when I said it just needed me to test drive it as far as the motorway and back.

By coincidence I was at a hillclimb in Brittany today and saw this request taped to one of the cars entered:
How will he know if it's real?

I am a current owner of a BMW M535i and confirm the exhaust should definitely locate under bumper. Maybe someone has installed a motorbike engine into the boot compartment.

Also, if someone wishes to purchase my recently MOT'd example with a dogleg manual box for £20k, I'll deliver it to your home address tonight, with a dirty great big bow on it.
