To the more knowledgeable, one on the left and the middle one?

The grey one's for non-recyclables, the blue one for plastic and paper. Am I doing this right?

Apologies if someone's already posted this. Interesting cars on an Instagram page called Exploring With Lou...

Even rarer still as it appears to be the Woodie version

And some bright spark has stuck an oversized viking badge on the grille!

Just checked James Taylor's P5 book and it's a MkIII, one of just 2,501 built in the 1966-67 model year.

Yes, that badge is certainly "special". Reminds me of a warthog.

Oh good spot! I suppose £2160 represents quite a bit of corroded metal for the money, albeit without engine or gearbox. I believe it's quite rare being the "Fordor" model: most seem to be the "Tudor".

I need to stop guessing at some of these big Yank things! Good spot …!

It looks as if it has the P5B Rostyles as well. I suspect that it's the original MKIII-grille badge but possibly sat on an earlier centre grille strip. The MKIIIs had the P6 2000-style central grille badge, which was very much larger then the earlier cars and the later P5B.

The Riley also left the UK in 2004.

These cars can't have been that bad when they were exported not that long ago.

You realise 2004 was almost 20 years ago now?

[uk66fastback]

Seen in Nottingham today …

Two for the price of one!
