I think this deserves more credit.

Involuntary snort here, too.

And to be able to go from Raynes Park to Mornington Crescent in one move!

Outside a bookshop in Whitby, the epithet reads "Rosie" - driven not hidden.

(Bit of camera shake I'm afraid)

I usually take a couple of shots in these circumstances,hey ho, still cheered me to see the old girl still earning her keep.

He's only gone and used the Royal Chuddington with Boris Underlay! Absolute genius.

There's an R in the month, so I felt that I could get away with a retro-diagonal. If it had been deemed a foul, then a simple loop via Buckhurst Hill would probably have kept me ahead of the less ambitious players exploiting the more mundane Chalfont and Latimer route.

Something weird about the position of the rear wheel?

I think the whole rear body is non-standard or should I say coach built?

When I moved into my house 17 years ago there were two of these on my road, and i’m pretty certain this was one of them - lovely

Look carefully, I think that could be a 2CV with some Moggy Minor panels grafted onto it?

What’s going on with those headlamps? Shouldn’t they be pop ups?

More, 90 deg rotation on a C2 rather than pop-up, but yes they are one of many types of hideous 'replacement' units seen on modified C2's in the USA.....goes well with the wheels
Its also got a '67 'Big Block' hood as well rather than the correct type for the year.

My word well spotted! I confess that I only snapped as I walked past (the "driven not hidden" thing caught my eye) wish I had another shot with the reg on to confirm but you're right it aint no Moggy!

A similar Morris Minor/2CV concoction used to live in Bristol, near Horfield prison. Front of a Minor, B-post back 2CV. And all multi coloured panels, reds and yellows. Next time I'm up there I'll see if it's still about.
