Practically Classics Forum

Whilst out shopping yesterday I saw

1. Rolls Royce Silver Shadow
2. Jaguar E type s1 fhc
3. Jaguar XJS (very early model)
4. Mini (austin seven badged)
5. Triumph 2500

On the way to work in Derby this morning i saw an OLD Citroen 2cv van in that grey/blue colour still on French plates. On the way home crossing the A38 there was a Maroon 2 door Morris Minor.
Some warm weather and real cars are out and about again

I agree with you there.

I saw to-day:

1. 1930s Bentley
2. Two VW Transporters (J-Reg and T-Reg)
3. MGB Roadster
4. Morris Minor Convertible
5. Early Series 2 Land-Rover
6. Caterham Seven

Always surprises me how many British classics are still gracing our roads

To-day I saw these:





Also I saw:

1. Three small vintage planes flying together.
2. E-Reg Grey 205.
3. H-Reg VW MK2 Golf.

Not yet a FIVA defined "Historic" but I saw a V6 Sierra pass the shop yesterday. It was a black four door hatch but I don't know the model (It was a later example), other than to say that it I could hear is was a V6. In the fleeting glance I had, it looked very presentable. I don't know when I last saw one and one thing is for sure, there are more Sierra gearboxes, at classic car events, than there are Sierras (There is one in my Morris)

Today a nice almond green Morris Minor 1000 (1098) has been driving back and forth.

red 2cv with the owners feeding ducks in Rocester.

A nice dark blue Sunbeam Alpine coming in to Toddington from Tebworth top down today, A red MGB I gave a wave to yesterday in Harlington and a red Saab 900 Turbo in Toddington High St that I see fairly often along with a beautiful Black 900 turbo regularly seen in Toddington at the weekend. Quite a lot of modern Mustangs around this weekend in this area, I've seen four.

This is what I have seen in the last couple of days.

What a small world it is. The Deuche seen parked on Robertson Terrace in one photo appears to be that belonging to a cousin of mine who migrated down to Hastings back in the '90s.
Not sure whether she had it last time she was back home, but I'll have a look at my car-related photo storage drive and will possibly post a piccie to show that it gets around a bit.

If it's not hers, then there are two in the same livery and the same town.
Her example was named George, after the George Formby song about the owner of a famous Chinese laundry.
