oooh,a bodykitted and whale-tailed Beetle would arouse me somewhat these days
Purely for the retro value you understand.

Naturally. Though I seem to recall a certain documentary about some guy from the States who was just a little
too fond of a Beetle.....
Methinks that all of the usual classics I spot hereabouts must have gone on some sort of group holiday. First day in ages when I've seen nothing older or more interesting than an (admittedly rather fine) C-plate - so 1985/86 - Nissan Micra K10 in metallic beige, complete with the obligatory bag of Werther's in the oddments tray and travel rug on the back seat.
Mmm, K10. I so would.

interested :-
A BX 4x4 (yes it was,and not just on the high suspension setting,it had 'gubbins' by the gearstick),how rare must that be ?

Went on a little trip on the A55 North Wales yesterday and kept overtaking Hillman Imps - all was revealed when I got to Bangor where there was some kind of Imp event going on!!! Al shades of Imp including Singer Chamois, Husky, and what I think was a Nymph beach buggy! Must have seen about 25!
On the same journey a brown Austin Maxi, an early Mercedes SL, 2 Morgans and a Marlin. So good days classic spotting!!!

I think that may have been the Imp National

There, that's the balance redressed and the Earth can now spin smoothly again.

Passed a white C-reg Amazon on the A1 going South on Sunday evening. Could that have been PC's Keith Moody?
