What classic vehicles have you seen?

[JPB]

I'm confused, Terry! Especially as the only Bug I ever owned was a Rothmans version which keen Buggers will know left the works in white, not a trace of orange apart from on the original rocker cover, seen below on another of my Reliant engines where I put it to confuse people:



Ironically, a vehicle that falls into the tricycle category can be driven perfectly legally by someone whose licence is restricted to automatic transmission only for PLG class vehicles so I wouldn't need to hack any of my tripods in order to be legal behind the wheel!
I guess that the DVLA - historically - assumed that nobody could possibly want an auto in a Weliant Wobin so failed to acknowledge the possibility that such a device could be created quite easily and in a few cases has been.
The small matter of whether the driver is capable of operating a clutch pedal isn't taken into account among Tricyclists.

However, the very idea of a bright orange 1930s classic with the art deco masterpiece on its shapely snout is possibly enough to cause heart failure in the owners of less imaginitively painted examples. I wouldn't want to upset anyone over something so trivial so how about we kidnap one, spray it orange and shoehorn in a nice V8 from a Stag? Might as well be hung for a sheep as another sheep.

Likey /\ /\ What is it?

Seen today on another forum wonder if it's manual or auto?

Me likey too, Lots. It's a "real" (as opposed to 1970s, BL-built. Sits back and waits for brick coming through window....) Triumph Dolomite and, to my very great shame, I think that it looks absolutely stunning in that subtle shade of orange!

THere's a friend of mine near here who has one of those - in the same condition, but in duck-agg blue. It's stunning!

I'll get a pic, next time it's out.

Could someone please pass that shovel?.....
I think I'm allowed as I'm a member of the same minority group that I was attempting to ridicule in an affectionate and empathic way.
I loved my '70s Dollies and they are great to drive, but I could just about have put up with the '30s variety if someone asked me very nicely to adopt one!

Ooh yes please! The internet is very short of '30s Dolomite content.

Spotted on way home from work the other evening (Wednesday), on the A127 heading toward Sarfend.





On the way in this morning, i passed a Hillman Imp, parked where the Commer camper usually is. Then a Porsche 944 on the hard shoulder of the A130.
