I'm not sure who owns it but it was still there yesterday.

There was a blue Hillman Avenger on the a38 this morning, it looked very smart. it's always nice (and surprising) to find people driving their classics about over winter.

Today's classic total:
1,000,000 classic scooters in / around Derby (I may be exaggerating slightly on the number)
A30 driving past my house, Ford Capri and a Porsche 911 with unusual spot lights

Rover P6 in Ashbourne this evening. Definitely a good weekend for classic spotting.

Must be a MkII convertible Cavalier convention in Basildon today. Saw two of them, a B reg and a D reg within a mile of each on the way in to work this morning! Unfortunately my smartphone chose that moment to be a dumb phone, so no pics.
