Sheffield this morning. Surprised how nippy it was.

They are quite small (and nippy!) though - not much bigger than the Minor they were supposed to replace. Nice early one that with the duotone seats, too.

The wheels look massive on that. In a Hindustan ambassador taxi at Hargaon train station sort of way. Maybe just the tyre profiles of old... still a great looking and sounding thing. A definite candidate for the next wave of retro leccy cars that are bound to be the trend by 2025

Not that old! They're modern tat Falken SN807 radials, so 80 profile. Would look even better on some cross-plies!

It's easy to forget how old those two cars have now become. To me, they're still just ordinary (and fairly recent) Euroboxes, but they aren't really.
On the road:
1998 Disco 4.0 V8 (manual)
1994 Vauxhall Calibra 3.0 V6

Running but need fettling:

1986 Honda CBX750F
1991 Maserati 222 SE
1990 Yamaha XJ900F

Tax & MOT-exempt, woohoo!

1982 Suzuki GSX1100SZ Katana
