I remember when the Fiat Panda first came out. Even as a kid I was shocked how thin the front seats were. Everything was pared down to the minimum. I reckon even a parking ding would land you in A&E.

I’m not a fan but I know a few on here like these…



Don’t let the sparkle fool you - it looked a bit rough and is parked on the grass verge with no obvious house or commercial place nearby - poss abandoned?
Here's grandad - a familiar sight around here as this gets used a lot

Thanks to the posters who made us aware of Cricket St Thomas and its history, we're now booked in to an historic room for three nights next September!!! smile

Spotted yesterday in West Hampstead - only had a second and kicking myself for not getting a clear picture of number plate.



And from a week ago, in South Hampstead, a Ford Zephyr.

A bit of a 'cheat' when it came to spotting smile as the cars were all at Shelsley Walsh on Saturday (very wet track for the practice runs, then dried up for the first timed ones).

Great to see Simon Taylor in the ex-Sir Stirling Moss HWM Stovebolt Special:

Indeed, and also the owner of a well campaigned AC Ace 2.6

Simon Taylor has a lovely stable of cars. The Stovebolt, Ace and also his Derby Bentley sedanca. Lucky guy.

I reckon all HWMs are ex-Moss. He probably sat in all the team cars at some time or other.

The car of choice of the 'hoons' when I was in my teens in NZ in the 70s/80s. Often known as a zeph-stang.

These always look terrible in photos and brilliant in real life. I would.
I do miss mine, great fun, helps having a crate motor with some breathing over the asthmatic factory set up.
