On The A50 this morning there was a blue G plate escort with "I survived the scrappage scheme" on the boot. The car was rubbish but the sticker made me grin.
On Monday night I saw a very "well loved" Herald driving through Nottingham
This fantastic looking Humber was parked in Ashbourne last Friday

Yesterday was a good day for classic spotting (Pity I couldn't say the same for the weather). I saw an A 40 Farina near Leominster and an nice looking Morris Minor Traveller on a garage forecourt a bit further on. My father was passenger and he spotted a Gilbern Genie/Invader.
When we got to where we were going, there was a Mk 2 Jaguar, XK120 and parked next to my father's MG Midget, was Maserati 250F number 2528, that Fangio drove to win the 1957 Monaco Grand Prix. I hope a photo will be on it's way to us soon, as we didn't have a camera with us
. I also saw a 3 1/2 lite pre war Jaguar, an E Type shell, a complete E type, another XK and a Ferrari 250. There was also a Ferrari V12 engine, with a big hole in the block 
, that was scrap. It is apparently useful as a blank, for use in the building of replica/replacement bodies and chassis. Attached to it was a gearbox and overdrive (I didn't know that Ferrari were into overdrives).

Ay up!
A couple of old PC project cars in the area.
John Simpson's Rover P4 is regularly seen along with a Mk2 Jag RPA 247.
Also saw a Daimler saloon with V8 - very tatty and burning a lot of oil but sounding good nonetheless.

I saw these two in Battle Railway Station car park this morning.
And I'm sure this will make you laugh.
