Mk3 Cavalier Owners Club | Vauxhall Cavalier Dot Com

Opel Rekord, Eastleigh - 12/12/15

Appropriately parked lol. Nice spot. I love the size of the rear end on that. They just don't make them like they used to. That trunk definitely has that American look to it, my cup of tea.

Morris Traveller, Winchester - 29/11/15.

Don't see much old motors in Scotland because the weather's disintegrated everything including most cars over 10 years old, however still see some older motors about, less so in winter. In last month or so have seen a couple of motors, there's an old micra running around town, a pug 205, not seen for a while, volvo 940, a MK4 escort RS turbo or XR3i can't member, and seen a nice Capri the other week.

Apologies for blur, only had phone to hand and it was dusk




not too bad for a grab from a dashcam

Some from Starcross in Devon.

First one for Andrei.
Obviously a mustang.



Then a 100 yards up the road, a left hand drive Renault 4. The J plate really threw me.



On a field near by was a pristine Mk3 Riley Elf... nice! Sadly no photo...

Austin Healeys in Alresford the other weekend.

A Smart car where it belongs.

Opel Rekord - 12/12/15


Austin 10-4 - 28/12/15

Today - wheelchair trike.

Looks kinda home-made

They used to make pukka wheel-chair trikes in a town called Hyde in north east Cheshire - about 3 miles from me.



They were modified 1200 cc bmw motorcycles with very long sit-up and beg handlebars. Price tag was about £22k

Try googling Martin Conquest.
I have a really old photo somewhere of the wife driving one at the bike show at the NEC about 5 years ago.

Anyway some cars that I have seen recently -

A very early Golf "rag-top" in the Rock shopping centre multi-storey car park in Bury, Lancashire



Strange how none of the indictor or tail lights on the left matched those on the right of the car.


The next four cars I see on a regular basis on a road in the Wirral between Birkenhead and Wallasey.
There are often as many as eight really old cars parked within 100 yards of each other during the day.









It makes my Tuesdays more interesting.

Nice variety !

Seen a few interesting cars at work recently.

Couple of immaculate E-types that pulled up one afternoon:

Series 1 coupe


Series 2 convertible


I thought this Range Rover was great


Love the signage


Japanese rising sun beetle


Immaculate Ford Serra LX


Original Rover 200, when was the last time you saw one of these?


Another Sierra spotted in Maidstone:


Lovely looking MK2 Jag at my local petrol station:

Some good spotting there, James!

Stopped at Gretna services for the first time last week, on the way back from Blackpool, for a much-needed caffeine boost.
I've stopped at a few motorway services over the years and despite the mystical allure of the regimented chargers ( they glow at night ) that subtly indicate 'cool' 'exclusive' and 'expensive' , I've never seen a Tesla until now.

A coffee and donut later I came out and it was gone..............
........only to be replaced by two more


Who'd have thought it. Tesla's are like buses
Spot the difference contest has been cancelled because it's too easy but I'd be a bit worried about build quality if one can't make it to the dealers without bits falling off....
Note the peasants charger to the left

That Mk2 Jag is gorgeous.

When was the last time you saw one of these? 1984 Talbot Matra Rancho today on A34.

I'm not so sure I've ever seen one !

A couple more cars spotted at work:

That Saab is lovely

Left-hand drive Porker with no registration plates spotted outside The Hoste in Burnham Market last night:

Some more stuff in the Bodiam Castle car park.


A routemaster bus:




MG Magnette




And this third gen Ford Mustang right outside my house!

One I have never seen before.

Spotted on the Marina road at Barmouth yesterday.
A lovely car on a lovely warm sunny seaside day.

I believe it is a 1962 Daimler SP 250.
what is strange is that the direct.gov vehicle history web page says that it has only had any miles on the speedo for about 4 years. Showing 9 miles in 2012.!!

Spotted this old jag in Paisley, which is near Glasgow. It had a for rent sign on it!





760 Estate in Asda Linwood. There's also a local yokels G plate 740 parked nearby plus I seen a 240 also that day!


Wee Triumph spotted in Paisley again.


Not quite "on the road" but spotted this old merc sitting in garage forecourt in a little village called Bridge of Weir.

Went to maplin, Livingston today and almost failed to see this subtle little number, it was the sheepskin seat covers that caught my eye
