What classic vehicles have you seen?

Here's the place to chat about all things classic. Also includes a feedback forum where you can communicate directly with the editorial team - don't hold back, they'd love to know what they're doing right (or wrong of course!)

Saw a nice looking Mk3 Ford Granada Scorpio saloon finished in silver near Shepperton this morning.
Private plate so not sure of year.
Not many of those around now.

If you are curious you can do a DVLA vehicle enquiry with the reg and it will tell you :)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

We spotted this 1960 Chrysler Saratoga on Sunday morning in the car park of the local supermarket. Sorry about the image quality but I only had a mobile phone with me to take the pics :-(

It's been quite a day for classic spotting, especially seeing as the temp here hasn't got much over zero all day! Spots include a Mk2 Zodiac, 60s Jag S-Type, and a Herald.

A Land Rover Series 2A went by earlier. If I had more room (And more money :!: ), I'd have a Series Land Rover :!:

What inconsiderate parking - he's taken up two spaces - I thought the only cars allowed to do that were 'Chelsea Tractors' - you know: the sort that never go off-road :D

I see it's a Tesco Store - of course they say 'Every little helps' but I don't think this is what they had in mind
