Could be worse, he could be driving a Kubelwagen in a Hugo Boss ensemble

I used to drive this to work pretty regularly, not a car I know but you guys should find it amusing.

The military police markings on the helmet and the blackout mask on the headlight used to get some looks in traffic.

Tuesday 12th


Apologies, no photos (didn’t have phone with me)
Both in Normanton

1. Volvo V70 estate, in gold (850 shape)
Church Lane
(section between Queen Street & High Street)

2. VW Golf convertible in green
‘P’ suffix (mk3?)
Garden Street
As above, but this runs between Church Lane & Cheapside (alongside ASDA car-park)

Wow!!

Barring a UniMog, & W123 estate, this is probably the only M-B l’d like

A slightly upmarket runabout spotted in Diss this morning - some info from Arthur Daley Motors

Saw a VW transporter pickup this morning. I hadn't seen one in years.

@tyred
Pace Research had a crew-cab, as their team-truck in the early-mid 90s
I saw it a few times at MTB races, & on visits to the factory/workshops

Leeming Reservoir, near Oxenhope (not the one up the A1)

There were a few crew cabs around here too, back in the day. A design way ahead of its time.

I've always had a soft spot for the Herald. Neat bit of styling.

I had the Vittesse version. Same car really but with a super smooth straight 6 two litre. A bit overpowered for the chassis but OK if you used a bit of sense

My memory of the Vitesse is being driven to play cricket as a 17yr old in Devon, and hitting 106mph down hill to Buckfastleigh. The driver was a loon, but a nice one.

This is cool!

You sure that's not a Vitesse, those wheels and the soft top. bonnet looks a bit squarer too at the front to take the twin headlights

I don't think so as it didn't say Vitesse on thr back. Not 100% sure though as I didn't go round the front. There were Herald soft tops as well as Vitesse. And it's pretty easy to turn a saloon into a soft top for either. I suspect my own Vitesse was a conversion from a saloon.

I seem to remember rostyle type wheels on mine
