One For Classic Car Fans.....

Tuesday 9th
Spotted at the roundabout forming the Bruce Smeaton Way/Leeds Road junction, by ASDA - Glasshoughton
(Castleford)
A gold Capri mk3!
It looked to be on a set of (what I'll call) 'Go Kart wheels', by that I mean, bulging sidewalls, as if they're squeezed onto rims too narrow

Seen at various times over the last ten days: a cream-coloured Ford Consul Capri; an Austin-Healey 3000, black with a white hard-top; and an early bay-window VW type2 with what sounded like the original engine.

Bloody hell, they got the body shell I saw being transported eastbound in the Newmarket area of the A14 on Monday morning built up quickly!

Never seen it around here before!

In today's 'sorry no pics but...' post, I was passed by one of those Subaru Sambar VW lookalikes this afternoon, almost identical to this one:

We saw this car parked in Braemar earlier this year. I'm not sure if it was a Hillman or Singer but I think it was a Singer. You don't see many around.

Strathclyde traffic dept used two single manned on Loch Lomondside. I think the were Imps tho'. The theory was that they could negotiate weekend traffic better than the bigger patrol cars they normally used.
They were universally known as Pinky and Perky but had a sad demise as one got bogged down offroad in Glen Douglas and the other also got stuck trying to tow him out. They should not have been there and the original was carrying a deer carcass outwith the regulations. Oh dear.

Not even of late 60s/early 70s ‘Muscle Cars’?

Anybody know what this make is? It’s our first family car, somewhere in Germany early 1950s the BZ on the reg plate stood for British Zone (north western Germany).

I think it’s an early BMW by the shape of the radiator grill?
