I was surprised to see a number of P76's a few years back when I was in Toowoomba. They looked like daily drivers as well. I didn't see any Tasmans or Kimberleys, though I do have strong recollections of these cars. Our neighbour had a red 1972 Kimberley that was in showroom condition. I remember it...

1988 Morgan Plus Four on my afternoon walk today, in almost the same place as the aforementioned Consul yesterday afternoon.

With some engineering/marketing work, this could change. What a lot of people don't rea...

Mark II Ford Consul driving along a road to the SW of my village yesterday afternoon.

This part of Kent sees many classic cars driving about in the spring and summer so I will take my camera out on my afternoon walks to try to capture some.

1968 Citroen DS Safari not 500m from my home. It is used by a local artist as a daily driver because he needs a spacious estate.

Hello, everyone. I'm Mark Totty and while I've been reading Practical Classics for years, I have only just this minute joined the forum. As much as I would like to, I don't own a classic, but drive a six-month-old Renault Clio dCi 88. When I do get my classic, it will be a 1966 Lincoln Continental C...
