I seem to think some had Lea Francis engines in them. Meadows rings a bell.

The Nurburg has a Meadows in it.

How cute is that?

Ah, my apologies. I found that RH page, read that they were making a recreation, and jumped to conclusions.

Droopsnoot - No need to apologise - that page does lead to confusion.

RH did a fantastic job with the body - having spent a while crawling around the car it really is a work of art.

My mate knows the owner of TR Enterprises, who restored the car and he recommended my mate to the owner as a driver.

Thanks for the replies all, truly a beautiful car!

Bently 4.5L No. 8 like this (I was driving so no picture)



on the M42 J3 just after 9:00 this morning. Did not spot the reg.

Nice rarity spotted outside my local fish n chip shop, 1968 (I think he said that) Datsun 1600.

Imported from Texas last year, it's really clean and has had the original 95bhp engine swapped out for a 240sx (US) engine. Nice 155bhp in a 850ish kg classic motor.

Owner was a really nice guy who had a chat, opened the bonnet. Nice speaking to someone who appreciates what they've got!!

Not sure what this oldie is but it brought a smile to my face In the morning rush hour

This was parked outside my flat at the weekend.
Think it's an MG replica, but not 100% sure.

a nice rare mini, good spot

A selection from the last few days, I'm sure many won't like one of them.

At Ouistreham last week a most wonderful collection of pre-war MGs, just having finished a tour of the Charente. No camera handy sadly, but one of the was an MG Tigresse and apparently one of two in existence. Then on the return a lovely Armstrong Siddeley Star just purchased by two French people and being repatriated.

Thanks for the info. Interesting stuff.
Saw a lovely blue '77 911S outside the local pub tonight in the sunshine.

Spotted a couple of days ago in the car park of Cragside House













Don't know anything about the Alvis - apart from it's an Alvis..

There was also an off white/cream Morgan there, but didn't get a picture..



E.T.A. BTW, the Capri and the 911 were both immaculate, almost better than new condition.
