The wheel base and the length of the sill make me think Air cooled beetle.


But, I'm no veedub expert and base that on the beach bug I pass on my runs, so I cold be missing something obvious.

I recall a 70's Beetle based kit car called the Nova & initially thought the front looked like that, but really unsure.

Saw this lovely old Triumph being used in all weathers -




Like the five spoke revolutions and original colour, and the fact it seemed to be owned by an older couple !!

Blue BMW e36 convertible - I doubt you would have seen me, you were waiting for a car to turn right down Barnet Wood Rd when I cam up behind you. That guy turned, you went straight on, and I turned and followed the guy down Barnet Wood Rd!

Spotted a grey Abarth 595 with a fair sized PH logo on the rear, joining the A12 where the M25 meets it yesterday, Colchester-bound. Nice looking car! thumbup
