Some local spots for ya'll. Been on a 1 mile or so round-a-bout walk and knew some of these were out there but there were a couple of suprises. This last moved a couple of months ago. One for the J fans. You're gonna tell me this has some mega desirable engine in now aren't you?! This is two streets down from where my mum lives and it hasn't moved in at least 15 years. Its slowly returning to nature. The bizarre thing is that this turned up only four houses down from that one about two years ago and looks destined to do the same! Not seen this about before. Lardy! Undecided on the wheel front I guess? Rear arch on this had seen some P40 in the past... A fairly recent arrival in the 'hood. Tow bar on the back... Thats all folks!

Nice metal round your way then but what's with the houses?
One is bright red and one looks like they forgot to stop building and carried on with a sky scraper. ;D ;D

What's the blue thing in the weeds? Can't quite make it out Is it an Alfa Guilia or Lancia Fulvia? Both did similarly boxy saloons. Nice pic's Seth! Urban spot threads always seem to throw up interesting stuff, it’s the same over on autoshite. I reckon there is the same amount out here in the sticks, just scattered over further distance and more likely to be hidden away.

But it doesn't look quite right to be Guilia either. Not 'swoopy' enough.

I'm still not convinced. That Guilia Super has a wrap-around rear screen. The one you snappeddoes not....

Hmm, I just noticed that too. Could be a Lancia Flavia but it doesn;t seem to 100% tally up with the pics I can find of them either? I'm going to have to go back and look at teh badge now aren't I

Its an Alfa Romeo Berlina , a 1750 or 2000, more or less a rebodied Giulia. one of the writer s in Classic and Sportscar had one a few years ago

Haha yeah was gonna say it was a Berlina, the Guilia's have a dip in the centre of the boot.
P-type Supra is tasty.... my favourite of that lot is that Volvo, that's pure class, that'd be a most uncommon sight for me!
The EE80 'rolla won't have anything overly special in it, likely to be a 1E or a 2E 1300cc motor, nothing fancy, or maybe a single cam 4A if it's a fancy spec model.

Nice pics Seth, but eh, snoozin, not all Giulias have the dip, later ones (post 73 or thereabouts I think) have a straight lid, just to confucius everyone more I guess.

I really like these early 140s - the chrome & detailing highlights very well the mid '60s origins of the basic design that lasted through to the 240. Pity it's in such poor condition - I often drive past an even worse condition estate (IIRC, on a G plate) that is also white....

Oh yeah, forgot about the Nuova Super.... not an overly common sight though those ones, the Berlina had pretty much taken over by then. Which is quite ok because the Nuova's just lost a lot of character in the facelift I reckon. Also, the more I see that Volvo the more I'm falling in love with it....
