A dark green Vanden Plas 1500/1750 spotted on the Salford Crescent in Manchester

Saw these two earlier:






Also I saw:
1. A Black J-Reg Morris Minor.
2. A dark red Y-Reg Triumph Accliam.
3. A grey VW Mark 2 Golf G-Reg.
4. A well used Morris Minor Van.

I saw a J-Reg MGB GT and 3 Landrovers including a Lightweight one.

D plate Mini on the A50
F plate Micra on the A6 that looked like the door skins were about to fall off with rust (some people like them so i thought i would mention it)
Lightweight landy on the A500
2CV in the petrol station.

I have some pics to upload of the G reg micra that appears to have taken root at my mechanic's when i remember to bring the cable for my work phone home.

I saw this D-Reg Nissian Micra in Hastings.





And I saw this C-Reg Leyland Double-Decker Bus of CountryLiner in the Esso Petrol Station in Battle, near where I live. Also Countryliner runs local services around my area, as well as Renown and Rambler.

I saw a couple of Morgan 4/4s pass the shop. The one was an N plate (Prefix not suffix), so not technically old enough but I suppose a Morgan is almost a special case. I didn't see how old the other one was but Morgans have used that lowline front end since the mid 1950s.

I saw these three around a garage site whilst walking our dog to-day:















That MR2 as been dumped there, perhaps it costed too much to fix or something.

The green Morris Minor 1000 (Actually 1098) 2 door has just driven by the shop

.................and back the other way

I saw these two in the car parks in Battle.











I highlighted the numberplate of this Escort, because Robertsbridge Garage does not exist anymore. Next there is a few photos of my home town (Battle).











That Land-Rover you see in the last photo above, is shown below in more detail at the local garage.

Where do I start Various Ferraris, Maserati 250F, a few Jaguars (Alas all under dust sheets, in the bodyshop, who are doing some work on my father’s MG Midget). Out and about I spotted a 1970s Porsche Carrera and in Morrisons at Leominster, two Morris Minors (One Traveller and one four door saloon). We did pull up behind an E reg Vauxhall Nova, which is now good as 25 years old and were it not for that sanctimonious little git, who shall remain nameless, it would soon be getting free tax. Maybe not my idea of a dream classic but my mother had a couple of standard Nova 1.0 hatches and they were good little cars; now very rare. They were both new and she ran them one after the other from 1985 to 2001.



The 250F was behind the Midget and to it's right.

Almost forgot, I saw an Austin Seven Ulster parked outide Holden's (http://www.holden.co.uk/) in Bromyard. I can't believe I forgot that It was there on the way and on the way back. Must be getting old.
