We moved here 18 months ago, and I've been pleased to spot : Porsche 928; guy around the corner used to have a black '66 Mustang (made me smile when I heard him starting it and letting it tick over at the weekends) but now seems to have some retro yank crew-cab pick-up; Walking the dog the other week, spotted in the next street a guy working at his Series 1 Lotus Esprit Turbo (has some other Esprits too I think).
EDIT : used to be a couple of TR7 fans in the village a few years ago, but I don't see any sign of them now.

No retros round here,but being an old git thought Id tell you of a few that graced out street back when I was a kid in the early 60's.,these are the ones I can remember that 'did something for me'..Triumph Mayflower,Austin Metropolitan,A35 van(my dads),2 x MK9 jags,Mk2 Consul,D type Jag-(roadgoing,!),Mini ,and quite often the guy next door used to pop home for lunch in a British Railways Scarab tractor unit! Happy Days! Just like to add..my dad rented a lock up garage just up the road ,to garage his beloved A35 van. The guy who owned the garages had the very largest garage which had sevral original model T's and the like stored in there.Up the other end of the row of garages was a Race prepped 105e(V8 I think) in grey primer ,that raced regularly at Brands etc.

Curently I have a neighbour two doors up with an MG Midget, one over the road from me with an MGB Roadster, 5 or so doors up a chap with a TVR Wedge (350 shape, however I'm unsure as to what it is). Further into the village theres a Scimitar SS1, a guy with a VW Camper and nice Karmann Ghia. Oh, and a few doors down from him - A Moggie Minor.
Sadly all that is parked on my drive is a Dullmobile Focus; however hopefully I might finally get my hands on a retro/classic once I'm back from my honeymoon - rest assured there will be a readers rides thread when (if?) i manage to get one....

My next door neighbour runs a BMW breakers yard and he has this on the drive- His own pride and joy,not been on the road for ages though, Also a few doors away is a Black FD Victor Dragster which is tucked away in a garage but can be heard every now and again. Found this parked on the next estate to mine the other day tho- Glad to know I am not the only eccentric in the village ;D ;D
