Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
A good day for spotting today, an Austin 7 with it's bonnet up and an AA man attending to it, 2x mog travellers, one of them sign written for a pottery business, the other a bit run down but still looking well loved and a morgan

A fiat 131 Milifiori. 1600 cl just like my dad used to have. Only 4 left on the road!
Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Yesterday revealed 2 midgets, a minor convertible and an Aston Martin DB5. No pics as I was driving when I saw all of them. I love sunny weather, interesting cars are on the road rather than the boring modern stuff you see day in day out.

Rag Top Stag drove past JCB today while I was feeding the ducks. Very pretty car. Thank you to the tractor driver for slowing it down.

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Today I saw an Opel Manta (I haven't seen one of those in a REALLY long time) an 80s MGB-GT and a midget.
This isn't the actual car but I had to look up what it was as I had never seen one before, a 2000 reliant robin
I have never really liked the looks of a Robin but that face lift is horrible!

Rare beast that, a far better use for Corsa B headlamps then their native rôle, IMHO and far nicer to drive than a Corsa with the exception of an A in 1.3 SR trim. 
Even less commonplace is the spotless BN Plastics Robin next to that Reliant-built version, very nice.
I recently watched a youtube vid that shows someone driving an earlier Robin up a hill, then down the other side. Woah, steady on there, Bucko, I can barely stand the excitement.
Oh how I miss the craic.
