How good are those last set from Mat? ;D Anyway, here's what rolled up on the back of a low loader at Ringway where I was having thee shitroen valeted... Twas a Jag XJSC, 3.6, rusty as hell, but a manual box. Has been sat for years when the bloke who owned it finally wanted shut, probably in the frag at Davidson's (Altrincham) now but I know the driver kept the wheels and the O \ S door mirror looked pretty straight. And I thought manual box Jags were rare (although the 3.6 engine can be picked up for pennies so I'm told). Ring up J Davidson scrappies if you want more info on that one. Pics....    |

Seen this multiple times whilst on walks in t'countryside, finally got round to attempting to take a pic:  You can just about see an old Land Rover embedded in the bushes. I didn't go for a closer look because the house whose garden this belongs to is occupied, and I don't go tresspassing anymore. That said, I've always wanted a Landie, so maybe one day when I've got the space and money, I may well go door knocking to see if it has a price... |

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

A couple I came across on a random country mission:     Ehoa Bro!! the Ponti was rare car in NZ when New! .I had a mate who had convertible of the same year which featured in the New Zealand Movie.." the Runaway" . Made a long time ago mind you! I would say that number plate is original too,CH series were issued in 1964 I think. PS,I get a bit Nostalgic for the NZ countryside when i see that overgrowth...better than the dried up curse word here... ;D ;D |

Cheating a bit:    Bottom one's mine that I've sold and then bought the top two.  (Can I sell the plate from the top one or does it need to be taxed/tested to do that?) This is at the same location but too far gone to have transported across.   |

It's a Holden. An FJ I think.
There's one in the UK definitely that I know of, it's fitted with smoothes and a Rover V8.

Isn't it an FB Holden?
Kind of the equivalent of our F type Victor.

Well beyond saving, but it did yield a spare wheel for my scimitar:  |
