Re: Wobland Spottage

I'm quite surprised by the amount of owners that, after the DVLA fucked up and sort of made them legal, rushed out and replaced their original reflective plates on their 1973-1980 classic vehicles with black and white plates in the mistaken belief that it somehow makes their vehicle cool. It does no...

Re: Austin A70 Hampshire

I also now have a Hereford Coupe. Before you get too excited it is of course a 1/43 model in cream. Just thought, got another one with the top up, the new one is top down. Kind of sad to see the old LOB cut up but it was way past saving. That chap's Hereford Coupe is lovely, not sure if I've ever se...

I spy the Mk1 Consul/Zephyr in the background of the white '58 Cadillac. Great photos of great cars from an era before today's autonomous blobs.

Toad is pissed off because the '58 has gone again.....
'If the radio's gone that means the car has gone'. I know you'll get that line. I must be a sad git as I know what the majority of those cars are as no doubt do you. Excellent photos from Mr animals.

The Mk1 Zephyr estate is my mate Kev who has his workshop at Cliffe, Zodiac Motor Services. Pretty Anglia, quite an e...

The 235 is the Blue Flame six, I had one in my first American car back in 1976 which was a RHD '59 Impala Sport Sedan aka 'flat top' reg WXT4. I...

Re: Found pics

Back in the 80s I had a succession of Vauxhalls as runabouts, I think the first was a slightly* ratty looking J-reg white/rust/filler FD Victor 2000 estate bought for 100 quid from my mate's ex-RAF Bomber Command stepdad. It was very dependable and I drove it for about two years without any hiccups....
