D plate Mini on the A50
F plate Micra on the A6 that looked like the door skins were about to fall off with rust (some people like them so i thought i would mention it)
Lightweight landy on the A500
2CV in the petrol station.

I have some pics to upload of the G reg micra that appears to have taken root at my mechanic's when i remember to bring the cable for my work phone home.

I saw a couple of Morgan 4/4s pass the shop. The one was an N plate (Prefix not suffix), so not technically old enough but I suppose a Morgan is almost a special case. I didn't see how old the other one was but Morgans have used that lowline front end since the mid 1950s.

I highlighted the numberplate of this Escort, because Robertsbridge Garage does not exist anymore. Next there is a few photos of my home town (Battle).

That Land-Rover you see in the last photo above, is shown below in more detail at the local garage.

Where do I start :?: Various Ferraris, Maserati 250F, a few Jaguars (Alas all under dust sheets, in the bodyshop, who are doing some work on my father’s MG Midget). Out and about I spotted a 1970s Porsche Carrera and in Morrisons at Leominster, two Morris Minors (One Traveller and one four door saloon). We did pull up behind an E reg Vauxhall Nova, which is now good as 25 years old and were it not for that sanctimonious little git, who shall remain nameless, it would soon be getting free tax. Maybe not my idea of a dream classic but my mother had a couple of standard Nova 1.0 hatches and they were good little cars; now very rare. They were both new and she ran them one after the other from 1985 to 2001.

The 250F was behind the Midget and to it's right.

:oops: :oops: :oops: Almost forgot, I saw an Austin Seven Ulster parked outide Holden's (http://www.holden.co.uk/) in Bromyard. I can't believe I forgot that :roll: :!: It was there on the way and on the way back. Must be getting old.
