Quite a few yesterday.

Saw a Mk 5 Cortina outside Morrisons in Ebbw Vale, some kind of Pontiac in Govilon, a C reg (Prefix) Mini in Llanfoist (looked in good shape) and In Abergavenny, a red Morgan +8 (Had a W suffix), with spoked wheels. Given the number plate, these would have been non standard, as +8s didn’t have spoked wheels as an option in those days. I also spotted a red TR4A, an OEW Morris Traveller and a Daimler Dart.

I saw this VW Polo Mk2 earlier in Battle near the Railway Station. Also saw a couple of Morris Minors, including the one I saw yesterday again.

My daughter wants one of those Figaros, though in pink!!

Saw a very nice dark blue '50s car on the way to Evesham, just going onto the motorway, can't say what it was due to lack of badges and that all the 50s cars look the same to me! :lol:

A pre war Bentley drove past not long ago - I think it may have been a post Rolls Royce takeover Bentley but I didn't get a good look.
