Hmmm, well he's had a history of driving some slightly oddball machinery. Or nice machinery in oddball ways.
He's rallied an SD1 V8, raced a Rover 220 Turbo, plus messed around with assorted hillclimb and grasstrack machinery. The X90 cost him a grand about eight years ago or so. He says it's ideal for cheap motorsport, especially as he's running it in almost standard trim. There's a couple of "trick" X90s running in the higher classes (bigger engines, 4WD).

Totally random spot on the way back from The Brudenell Social Club - a Datsun 280 ZX. On Kuwaiti number plates

A nice restoration!
Taken at jct 31/M62
I’d followed it from ‘Whitwood roundabout’ (where the Mining College’ used to be)
The combination headed onto the m-way westbound
I was stationary, transmission in neutral/handbrake on, so felt the photo was okay

Was behind the model after that (406) on the M6 a few days ago. Thought it was a Fiesta or something until I got close up, they're a pretty small car by todays standards, SUV's etc. Then again I also saw one of the first BMW X5's the other day. When I first saw one of those years ago, I thought it was a huge bloated thing, now that looked about the size of a Mk 2 J11 Qashqai (maybe a tiny bit bigger, but not much).

Aye, the original X5 seems almost dainty now!

My first car was a minivan but with side windows conversion.
Were they still making them in 1979?

I seriously considered a brand new mini van towards the end of their run. If they'd done it in 1275cc version I'd have gone for it I think.

Some not so common cars, the Mk 1 Cortina looked in very nice nick, but not all the others looked like runners. Earlier that day was a Wolsey 1100 and a Mk3 cortina so they evidently ran. Muffed up the photo of the Cortina , oh, I mean what do you think of my arty shot?
EDIT: found a decent pic of the Mk1 cortina
