One For Classic Car Fans.....

You don't see many of those! It's a rebadged Skoda Felicia Pickup, also not many around.

We have one on the next street. Strictly utilitarian not a collectable.

Facel Vega HK500 is one of my favorite designs , I've only ever seen one up close and it stopped me in my tracks for several minutes.

Facel Vega HK500 is one of my favorite designs , I've only ever seen one up close and it stopped me in my tracks for several minutes.

I've seen one in the Haynes museum, and another two (if I remember rightly) in the Durby motor museum on the Isle of Man. Never seen one in the wild. I seem to recall in the IoM museum some comment about having a replacement panel that fitted one car but not another; they were essentially all bespoke. Another anecdote I recall hearing on the radio: apparently Brian Rix had one and gave a lift to a WW1 veteran pilot who wryly commented he'd never before exceeded the speed of a Sopwith Camel in a dive,
not to say the Facel was safe at the very high speeds it could go

3.8 or 4.2?

No Photo, but a Messerschmitt KR200 with the hood down farted past along the High Street this lunchtime. Immaculate in silver. A quick google reveals it to be worth as much as £38k.

Never even knew they existed let alone saw one....it would have stopped me in my tracks too, stunning

I'm sure someone can tell me what this is. It sounded like a big 4-stroke motorcycle engine, but who knows.

I've discovered it's a Panhard Dyna Junior. 850cc air-cooled flat twin.

Renault Caravelle, rear-engined, based on the Dauphine.

I drove past here, this morning

Alongside the 'new' A63/Pontefract Lane
Skelton Grange/Cross-Green
Leeds

Sadly, no sign of any of a F1, just the 'travelling fraternity' camped 20 yards from their main gates

I'd have the Escort 'all day long'
(even though I do like the present Mustang)

For sale. It's a late model with the larger lights.

That's really just an Escort shaped object though with a crazy amount of modifications.
