Another yank on todays ride.
'57 Chevy pick up. Look like it has had a mild restomod done to it

Yes please!
With a nice little diesel fitted, like the crew at 'Welderup' do

Richard Dreyfuss
Charles Martin Smith
Ron Howard
Harrison Ford

Plus of course, Wolfman Jack

 

[Reynard]

And directed by George Lucas.

IIRC he cast Ford as Han Solo on the strength of his performance in AG.

 

[Ian H]

An MG with ill-fitting rear spats.

A presumably elderly Morgan.

It was indeed a Lucas film

Ford was, allegedly, on the brink of quitting acting & going back to being a carpenter
He wouldn’t cut his hair though, hence the Stetson worn as Bob Falfa

An MGB GT that requires some weekend recommissioning spotted just over the Bedfordshire border this morning.

Some from yesterday's show

@tyred

I like the A40, with flared arches,
My fathers first car was an A60 (Austin Cambridge/Morris Oxford)

FIAT 126, a master class in packaging for 4 people (as was the original Mini, & the FIAT 500)

Bedford Rascal/Suzuki Supercarry
I used to have a Rascal van; scary as hell on wet roundabouts/motorways

Nice Jensen Interceptor today. Big Yank V8 in a luxury European grand tourer .

The owner had an awful story when I enquired about the earlier Jensen CV8 I'd seen there previously. It had been set alight by some nutter whilst parked at a friend's house.

There is/or was, an Interceptor not too far away (on a side lane, where there's some BIG houses) not too far from the garage where these Capri's are

I thought I'd added it earlier in this thread, but can't find it, I'll look at my FaceBook albums & save it/add it to here, if there's a photo there!

EDIT @ 12:05
Found it

‘Double’ wing-vents would have signified a ‘FF’

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Am I right in thinking the Jensen Interceptor was the first production car to be fitted with Lockheed ABS?
