I am London too so seem to see a real variety.
On my way to work I saw a Bristol 411 and a very nice Alfa Giuilia saloon. I remember that one because I looked at and thought "that is the same basic shape as my Triumph, or even a Lada, how come it looks so damn good!"

Nothing today, unfortunately, barring the reflection of my own car. This area's very hit and miss for interesting stuff.

None, short travel by bike. Even our Fiesta didn't get used, the GF opted to take the semi modern.  |
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I see loads around here in Ipswich, Always driving pass a Beige Austin Allrego outside a local pub, A Mk2 A reg VW Golf with a roof rack in a rough state outside the chippy and a Mk5 Cortina driving down my road.
Today I saw a nice Cream Morris Minor Van in a multi story car park in town and the other day saw a young lad in a blue 1982 Suzuki Alto crusing around.
Plus a 1982 Toyota Starlet being driven by a old women into Sainsburys a few weeks ago.
Also see Stuyizz's Sapporo around quite a lot lately as well.
Really must get some photos of them all.

London seems to have a bigger percentage of retro cars than anywhere else, I've found. Last time I was in Hackney there were stacks of old cars in daily use.
On my travels in Nottingham today I saw a really mint white Sierra XR4i, a Triumph Dolomite and a Volvo 340 piloted by an old dude who looked as if he'd had it from new. There's also an elderly fella who drives a really nice looking beige Mk2 Escort that I see quite often.
Oh, and a red early-90's Corvette on the way home too.
