I was at a customers this morning when this 1967 Dodge van pulled in, with a 5.2l V8 between the front seats. The guy had driven down from London, leaving at 4.30 this morning, cruising speed is 55 mph apparently.


I’m in the market for a cheap but characterful van to punt the dog about in and that would be awesome.

Unexpected classic transport event on earlier today down the Swansea museum, quite a few good classic cars including 5 Gilbern Invaders and the black Quattro Coupe. Also a very limited edition V12 Vantage, this V12 Vantage S Spitfire 80 Edition.

IMO it looks a lot better than with the few small changes he has made since he first sourced it.

Grey Urus heading towards Cowbridge on the A48 this morning and what is probably best described as a rolling restoration Gilbern heading away from Cowbridge.

Nice black with brown seats R8 2nd gen by ferry road, dark grey at first but now possibly green roma at cardiff road in barry and what I'd like to is a pista in a spectacular shade of red at the baron's court lights by Penarth.
Does anyone know what the shade is called?

More than likely the car which is regularly parked in the marina; I believe it could be Rosso Fuoco. It is a fantastic colour.

Must have been, I was a distance away and I can only imagine it really is something up close

Spotted outside work in Bedwas today

in 1984

MoT check suggests only 18K miles from new in 1984 = less than 500 miles a year and it did 2.5K last year.

A guy in Brackla built a Perana replica, used to see it around the area a few years ago. His is the bottom one in the pic, the original car above it. He took it to a car show in Belgium and was made an offer he couldn't refuse, so left the car there.
