Here is a selection from me, I can’t remember where they were all taken, or even when. Select went most of them seem to have been taken on my mobile phone, apologies for the quality. This Roller I spotted on the way back from Shakespeare Co raceway one time, not sure which time though. Here is a mark 2 Granada there seems to have escaped the bangers. Looks kinda Basic for a Ghia? Spotted this little beauty on the local farm. this is the shed it gets worked on in. It seems to be used for trials and local driving. My daughter swears its Brum. More Brum vibe stuff. These trials specials were congregating in a motorway services (Tamworth on the M42 as I recall) That one's an A7 That one appears to be a Dellow? Dunno. Couple of older school black rides parked together. Big rig y'all. Spotted this several times as its also on a local farm where I often go buy stuff Appears to get used for proper stuff. Unmodded camper Cool Mk1 Transit. I found a Mk2 Transit outside broadcast unit but somehow lost my photos of if. 2 wheelers Neat Beemer, anyone on here? I like this. Looks "right" to me. Not "retro" yet, but a rarity. Neat to see Renner Mk2 Sky rocket Mk1 MR2 No idea. Thought it was a Nova, but appears to be front engined. Rowdy 4 pot by the sound of it. Overexposure makes you forget how nice MGBs actually are Old people and an old car Proper Morgan one. Cool T2 alternative

I spotted a nice Golf yesterday that's been in this thread before - I remember commenting last time on the interesting rear number plate recess (it's half-height with a custom-sized plate), but the pesky Proboards search function won't let me find it!
It's a mk2 Golf, really really low on polished Porsche 944 alloys. I seem to remember it belonged to a friend of someone on here...?
He was driving like an absolute berk, incidentally - doing about 50mph down our tiny residential street with black smoke belching out the back. Shame, as it looked like a really cool car!

Dunno. It's a Liege trials car, one of my associates built one, will try to find pics.... I'm sure those alloys could be useful for something or another....

[/quote] Looks like a '65 - '66 Ford Galaxie to me.[/quote] Right you are a Galaxie it is. Got talking to the owner today who has not long finished a bare metal job on it. It was imported in 97 and he said only needed a few small plates to sort the grot, looks and sounds great but did not get any close up pics as was not sure how it would go down and he was a big fella. Sounds like it might be for sale soon too . More spots loading up ;D

[Granny -chromed bumpers and overriders - looks v much like a Ghia should they usually have vinyl tops, metallic paint and other adornments. I didn't realy notice the bumpers.

Think that one looks GL like 'cos of the color, much prefer it too the metallics to be honest. Think the vinyl roof bit is for Mk1's

On a tire finding mission today 185 14's for the front and 195 14's for the back end of the transit (cos I got 2 good ones mainly and secondly 'cos it looks a bit dragster) The 185 no probs but the 195 took some finding. Would poss have been a whole lot easier if I had been flush enough to visit a tire shop but genuine scrap yard parts is the way I roll, so visited a total of 5 yards all in but spotted some goodness along the way. Mk2 - last of the proper ford vans methinks, with a proper bonnet and all. And another Not sure what would of hurt more here Guess you gonna have a clean one when you got the pick of the bits This looks good, I reckon (hope) light resto is on the cards A lady waiting back soon with more

Spotted this in town earlier. Then about 1 minute later I saw a Lancia Beta Coupe being trailered soon followed by a very nice beetle. Rather retro filled day considering I only went out briefly to buy some sandpaper!
