Quite right. Gotta love a Transit. (The tractor in front of it is a week and a bit older than me)

No-one can do small cars like the French. Spotted this 2CV today, it's not obvious in the photo

as they sort of match the colour and are soaking wet but the front is decorated with ribbons. I wonder did someone use it as a wedding car.

Also seen a Golf Cabriolet when out and about. Perfect cabriolet weather today!

I don't think they were ever fitted to a cab., were they?

The 205 is mine, I'd love to have a 2CV but prices have gone mad.

Both my 2CV’s were red , I really liked the look of the “Blood and Custard“ 2 tone.

Exactly!!
I'd certainly prefer it with the Skoda badges, to me the unadorned model is even better than the 'Fun' model

I quite fancied one of those back in the day. I seem to remember it had a couple of dickie seats in the back bit too

Found some abandoned Land Rovers tonight on my ride. I'd say mid to late 1980s, I can see that the bulkhead of the blue one is knackered. The yellow one presumably belonged to the electricity board or AA originally.

One wiper blade, three wheels (the spare was an optional extra).

I dare say someone's mentioned it upthread, but we had a nice afternoon at the Haynes motor museum; founded by the Haynes of Haynes Manuals fame. Really really good and highly recommended to anyone vaguely interested in this sort of thing.
