What classic vehicles have you seen?

Here's the place to chat about all things classic. Also includes a feedback forum where you can communicate directly with the editorial team - don't hold back, they'd love to know what they're doing right (or wrong of course!)

Stopped off at the Damn Yankee's car show on the way back from a weekend of offroading. Here's a few pics.

Star of the show (for me)

A DJ (Dispatch Jeep, US Post office). But that's NOT the stock engine!...

And this Morris Minor has had a halogen headlight conversion.

Not the usual place for storing the spare wheel on a minor!

It's not, but it is a very good idea made possible by the smaller than standard wheels. One downside I can see with that though: The bonnet will be much less easy to open but I do like the Weber and the LCB, suggesting that the thing's possibly quite fast enough to push those convex BPF headlamp lens flat. :D

Actually I'm not a colour - I'm a caravan.

I also have a real name . . . . .

:lol: Wow! More posts have vanished. :?

I thought Saffron because Topaz is much more orange-like but all of these BL shades can be confused on OLED panels for some reason: Saffron, Topaz, Bronze Yellow, Harvest Gold, Limeflower and possibly Sandglow as well, though they're all very different in real life.

I always use flickR, mainly because it's clean, isn't wick with ads & spies and is much less restrictive generally but that wouldn’t help as it's posts that are vanishing, though I removed that last one myself as I was informed that I "didn't have permission to use that image." :?

Whose permission please :?: It's from the same folder as several other images I've put up to this thread over the years.

Saw a few out yesterday, between here and Droitwich. There were a few Morris Minors (One was a van), a Rover P5 and then a the place I went to, an MG J2, various MGBs, Spridgets, an MGB GT V8 with 2500 miles on it (Yes 2500 and it looked genuine - still with OE Goodyear tyres on it and front seats not sagged), a Turner, a tatty but complete and original Mini Cooper 998, Porsche 911 and some kind of bubble car.
Rules exist for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.

MG Midget 1500, MGB GT V8, Morris Minor Traveller 1275, MG Midget 1275 & too many bicycles.
