What classic vehicles have you seen?
Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Here's my spots from September 2016, let's see what you make of them.
I'm told this is a Dodge of some sort.
These Civics are a rare sight now and much older than you might expect. This one is 24 years old. The styling is very of its time and they've aged well.
That 2CV again.
A massive old Rover 820. Dealer plates, headlight protectors, Rover branded mudflaps... it had it all bar the wheel trims.
Sierra Sapphire, I'm not sure if it's a proper Cosworth or not, I can never tell the difference.
A different Morris Minor to the one previously spotted and charmingly care worn.
In direct contrast is this absolutely pristine '89 Camaro.
Finally one of my all time favourite cars, a Riley RM(E or B, I don't know which) that appeared at a neighbour's on a glorious day.

Mid 80s Dodge D350 crewcab pickup. Probably Ex-military. Very big. I've got one like that, and a 4x4 version, and a couple of single cabs.....vulgalour wrote: I'm told this is a Dodge of some sort.
Currently over 35 years worth of fixing 35 boxes.
Hoping to reach 65 years worth of fixing 65 boxes.

It did have a USAF theme going on, I wasn't sure if it was genuinely ex military or just a theme.

Saw this at a recent show, all the restoration work was done by the owner outdoors and that included the paint, very impressive;
But what really caught my eye was this beauty, I think I could be on the turn

Ooh! the Field Marshall looks absolutely gorgeous, but why am I not seeing more agricultural traffic?
The Escort Estate looks OK too, but what is the fascination with old roof racks these days? They're wasteful, noisy and expensive to buy. Beats a mistress I suppose!

Did you miss me? On the day that my Goodwood Transport pack arrived, so too did an appointment for surgery that I had been waiting for. I phoned Cara, explaining my dilemma, she was so kind, wished me a speedy recovery and promised to keep my place open for 2017.Grumpy Northener wrote:GHT saidIs that why you didn't turn up at Goodwood Revival then ?I'm in love

Not ex-military, there are a couple of differences between those and civilian versions.harvey wrote:Mid 80s Dodge D350 crewcab pickup. Probably Ex-military. Very big. I've got one like that, and a 4x4 version, and a couple of single cabs.....vulgalour wrote: I'm told this is a Dodge of some sort.
Anyway, on my travels in foreign places,I spotted these...
Sadly, both are left permanently outside, and never garaged, despite their apparent condition.
