One For Classic Car Fans.....

[Jenkins]

Now that the sun's out, the classics have started to come out of hibernation - these two were from today's ride
A Chevrolet Apache pick-up

And a perfect condition Rover 3500

Then there were further cars being driven around that I couldn't get pictures of - a Ford Popular 100e, Morris Minor convertible (with picnic basket on boot carrier obviously), and an Aston Martin DB5 being driven up the A140.

Classy Rover, are they Triumph wheels though?

Driving home from work yesterday behind a new Tucson, surprised to say it looked quite good for an SUV!

Thats a great read! £20k doesn't even get you the base Focus these days, I'd take the Rover.

Don't know if they were fitted to Triumphs, but it looks like they are Rostyle wheels - I had some fitted to an MGB GT I owned for a couple of years.

Edited to add - On the way in to work this afternoon , I saw another 3500 on the road. This one in deep green with the boot mounted spare wheel.

My father had two of these, I though we were very posh back then.

One of these spotted near Mold N Wales yesterday, a minter

The design is sixty years old this year

This LHD ugly monster was outside today. Driver in a Stetson and weirdly tight trousers.


Then a Mini, looking shiny and very small.

And finally, an aging Harley with a sidecar.

The brutalist styling of the Camaro and the HD I get, pretty its not for sure.
I used to be a mini fanatic, had 3 in my younger days and loved the simplicity, the noise, the connection with driving, but they are tiny by today's standards for sure and that puts me off ever owning another.

 

[Reynard]

I love that Mini!

It's very me-sized, *and* it's red!

Yes, I do have a Mini, albeit a green one.
