Re: Wobland Spottage
Today, in the quest for additions to Mrs Rocker's teddy bear collection, we picked up a 1990s limited edition Mr Woppit by Merrythought - a copy of the bear that survived Donald Campbell's fatal crash.
Very strangely, I saw the original Bluebird Sunbeam on an open trailer heading east on the A27 as we were returning from Sussex. No picture as I was driving but this car....
Also clocked a tidy but not immaculate Jag 420 outside a block of council flats looking a little like an out-take from The Sweeney. It was straddling a section of raised island kerbing.

Re: Wobland Spottage
Not sure what it was, I didn't linger as there were nosy types watching me with concern.
As I suspected I was right about everything.

Re: Wobland Spottage
Base model Ford Crown Victoria - or at least one fitted with the base spec wheels. Yes the same model as commonly chosen (and officially available as) Police Interceptors as well as plain-wrapper Law Enforcement models - which that may well have started life as. Largely the same from '98 to 2011 - unheard of in the days of annual model changes on mainstream US models.....
