I don't even know which car we're looking at now!

The Vauxhall Viscount of course.

I think it's a Volvo 240 saloon. Bumper looks right, rear three quarter window, wheels, position of rear door handles.

Dapster said:

Is the large maroon thing a Volvo 244 with a cloth / sun flare distorting the rear?

Exactly my thought.

Go on then, even the petrol filler seems to be in the right place!

Seems so obvious now. Good call early on then, Dapster.

Any ideas on the red car to the left of the the 340, under the clock?

No photos unfortunately but on a little jaunt down to see the graves of Sir Winston Churchill in Bladon and Brian Jones in Cheltenham, we spotted a VW based Beach Buggy, a drop head TR7, a Morris Minor (with one of those period exterior sunvisors) and on the way back a Citroen SM just outside Warwick.

White Triumph Stag (with hood up) heading through Abergele and Towyn on Wednesday afternoon.

Spotted also what must've been a rare sight of a silver/greyish 1950s Aston Martin DB2 or DB3 coupe between Llandudno and Rhos on Sea. Had that distinctive Aston Martin large grill and a long back. Looking at photos of the various series it looked like either a MK1 or MK2 judging by the squarer grill.

Fantastic looking ‘30s (?) brown Rolls-Royce towing a ‘50s-ish caravan on the A172 Stokesley-A19 road on a couple of weeks ago.. Looked wonderful

Couple of nice Mercedes in Lincoln this afternoon.



Despite their reputation as being moneypits, I'd still like a CL500 as a daily driver.

Some from my recent US road trip.

Is that a child locked in the back of the Thunderbird?

My GF is currently staying with friends near Lincoln and saw this in the village she's in.

No photos as I was driving when I saw them, but I spotted two BMW 2002 saloons at different times in Hereford today. A metallic green saloon parked up in Whitecross Road this morning, and a stunning looking white saloon driving down Belmont Road this evening. Both early round rear light cars.

Llangollen on Friday evening, lovely to see it being used as intended.

What did Aston Martin intend? That their cars be parked underneath trees, or be parked in the rain?
