If the ??? is about the car immediately behind the Citroen.....it's a Vauxhall FD Victor (or Ventura? but I don't think that's a Ventura rear trim detail?)Cortina
P5

Old Bert at work was reminiscing about his cars when he was young and full of cash in the 70s. Taken at his parents caravan site near Aberdeen I think.
I think they are all a gonner except perhaps the Europa which showed up as being taxed recently. Anyone have it? He'd love to know. Top picture is an old dear off the site trying to see how easy Europas are to get in and out.

De Tomaso Mangusta! Looks like a prototype compared to the production version
One for sale here... never realised that they were so valuable.

Lookin atcha by Nick Liassides, on Flickr
The blue Beetle was ours... it met its end when mum went out one rainy night to collect a Chinese takeaway. The bag of sloppy chop suey-based slime slumped over in the passenger footwell, she leaned over to rescue it and drove straight into a lamppost Not much in the front of a Beetle to resist hard impacts so that was pretty much that. Expensive takeaway!

hmm, as it's Wimbledon, time for strawberries and cream.
These days these old 50s/60s specials get a seriously nice resto treatment
No wonder Chapman tried to buy Tornado Cars Ltd, not once, but twice! Not a lot of people (apart from Tornado nuts) know that, not even Loti enthusiasts.

Outside my house about 1989. The montego was a vanden plas 2.0 Efi. It actually went very well compared to its predecessor, a 1984 Chrysler Alpine. Car in garage is a TR4a ,PTB606C, it ended up in Japan. I wonder if it is still there?
Never mind the new stuff, what's the story with the Austin 7? Looks like it has a "smokers hatch" fitted as well.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
