The Marina estate is back on his drive, so maybe not sold, or picked up yet.

Lovely patina!

Note the early federal bumper on the rear too.

Still on the prewar Austin theme, this little beauty was seen in Whitchurch, Shropshire this lunchtime.

No photos because driving, but

Panhard 24CT in the supermarket
Alfa Romeo Duetto on the edge of town
Seven Belgian R107 SLs in convoy in the countryside. Sadly the Belgians appear to favour US-style headlights yuck

Nice post on my Maserati 5000GT. It is chassis 103.100, the last one built and third Frua; the other two are for sale at Kidston.

not sure but that name sounds very familiar to me smile looked such up on the web, and yes looks like it, they came out in 1980 so I see, so yes, that could be it.

I built that one about 35 years ago and still have the car in a box somewhere.


Anyway, over the past couple of days I've seen 3 different 1990s BMW 8 Series in the Perth/Dundee area.
Hadn't seen one for a few years prior to this.

I think that’s a Sunbeam of some description. It looks very much like the one I saw in the village last year.
