No pix, but I followed a 1968 Escort for a while this morning. It had big arches - RS2000ish - and a roll cage (and no back bumper) - and only one brake light! It was dark blue with broad silver/white stripe down the middle.

It's a while since I've seen an Escort around here (especially on the road), let alone an early Mk1!

If everyone on the forum wasn't jealous of you before, they are now!

Is it a big coincidence, did you have the DeLorean before two were restored in episodes of different TV car shows? Were you the buyer with the bag of cash at Coy's? :lol: Please can we see photos of any of these cars, especially the Rover 90 and the Minor though?

Smart beetle spotted tonight, bonnet, wings and roof edges have been stripped for the 'rat look'.

Won't look so nice when all the panels have rusted IMO;
