Please keep posting in the "show your classic" and "classics in action" threads.
However commercials, pre-1950, Yank tanks, tractors, farm stuff and four door Dadwagons pre-2000 are starting to become my favourites and rarely talked about - wrong site maybe but still. Any pictures from shows or adverts you have spotted also welcome. Plus vague musings and ramblings on what you are dreaming about.

Personally I fancy the idea of a vintage small truck and also looking for a Dadwagon, though in no rush and enjoying the search.
Looked at Bentleys Turbo R, SD1, Citreon CX and Citreon CX Familiale, American woody amongst others.
Also Bedford Js but lusting after one is not the same as having it your backyard getting grief off your Mrs.
Love the idea of an Austin seven or a tractor. Definitely don't need one though.

So in summary, love an MGB GT as much as the next man, but a thread for other more esoteric stuff too that tickles your fancy - or even better you own. (Let me know if there is an existing thread)
Anyhoo here's a Bedford J:

If you love an MGB GT as much as the next man, then you probably hate them. At least your going in the right direction now.

I spotted an almost identical Caprice station wagon going north on the M6 around Tebay a couple of weeks ago. Wasn't hanging about but you could hear the petrol leaving the fuel tank!

Not interesting, and certainly not a classic, but ask for pre-2000 4 door dadwagons and you shall receive.
I'm currently keeping this old shed going. Not sure if it'll survive past it's next MOT. I guess we'll see. She's still supremely comfy and drives well enough (unlike my neighbour's Mondeo in the background which is utterly shagged), I actually rather like the old thing. I'd love another 1.8t, this only the n/a 1.8 unfortunately frown.
