This popped up too; if you think Flame Red has aged badly then check this out. I don't think I've seen one of this edition Mondeo on the road for about fifteen years, the factory paint job was very 'of the time'. This one looks pretty tired.

I've seen not on the road but in gardens rotten.
A Ford escort mk1 van in blue not sure if its gone now.
And an old vintage rover which is now entirely engulfed in nettles and ivy both in bromley both been there since I was 11.
Will try and get pics if i can well of the escort the old rover is now a hedge.

Seen loads of cavs near me.

2.8 caprice that now has been scrapped bloke wouldn't sell it said he would rather see it crushed. :!:

Those Can-Am trikes were handed out to The Fuzz somewhere down South...remember seeing them at a motor show, all decked out in Police livery,the coppers on the stand letting small children sit on it.

That poor Mk1 Escort wants saving...out in all weathers. :(

[quote="VauxhallGirl"]Not much happens round Hampshire, either. The only thing I see on a regular basis, apart from a couple of Cavs, is a lovely little mint condition Nissan Micra K10 (the 1980's one).[/same colour car as me nice 1 quote]
