Was there as it left. It was clearly a clattering, smoking D24 :geek:

Here's a few that I spotted whilst on holiday in Greece, mostly laid up but a couple still in use;

The mazda pick up was immaculate despite obviously being used as a work-horse. The little white car took some working out, interested to know if anyone recognises it and the blue Merc I really wanted to bring home. Absolutely solid and the interior was like new. A little TLC would have it looking fantastic and I would imagine a rare sight on british roads?

It's the Fiat, the Simca is a bit different and has a wider grille like so:

And a Topolino:

Very nice. My dad would love to have that on his drive. He is a bit of an imp fan.

Saw these in a yard about a mile from my house today:

I thought this was a Lada Riva Estate from behind:

Lots of bikes there:

This is the second abandaned Bond i've seen in the radius of my home, this one looks to be a Mark E convertible:
