The yellow Karmann Ghia is a beauty.

The last pic, which is a Jeep J10, with an extra 'tag' axle, used to be owned by John Bonham, late of Led Zeppelin (and late, period...). The current owner bought it from his estate, and has only just restored it. 40 years later! This was it's first time out in public.

Saw a very clean and tidy Capri 2.8 Injection ... wasn't able to take a pic (someone left his phone at home!) ... :oops:

It was very clean and tidy both inside and out and looked like it had not long come off the production line.

So being an E-reg (1987), I assume it had not long been restored.

Looks to me very much like a May 1956 registered Sunbeam Talbot 90. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
