Saw this the other day when walking the dog. It was outside the same house where I saw a bronze saloon a month or so ago, posted that on here. They obviously have a thing for these cars.

The Bronze one

View attachment 820563

The metallic blue one is a gem. The body and glass area proportions of the two door are spot on, the lines are great and the wheels are the icing on the visual cake.
Whilst the bronze one looks O.K. to my eyes it doesn’t have the same visual appeal. I’d be happy to own that blue one 👍

You dont want a Charger unless its a Daytona. 435bhp with drum brakes separates the men from the boys.

Plus a live rear axle and cart springs. They were a piece of shite. 1940’s engineering.

Oh aye, dreadful, aged, crude, nasty, wonderfully awesome shite! Its like turning up to a gunfight with a Claymore sword and still getting stuck in. It takes a certain type of chap to do such a thing.

Middlebridge... Now that's a name with some racing pedigree.

OK, their '87 FF2000 effort was dire. But also tied in with RAM F1, Brabham and the relatively short-lived Superpower F3 & F3000 team. Incidentally, John MacDonald passed away recently.

My first full time job while waiting to join the green machine was in a factory next door to Middlebridge and over the road from Tickford in Blakelands, MK. I recall spending my lunch breaks looking wistfully across into the yards of each firm and wishing I didnt have an Allegro.

Photographed through a fence, but I'm pretty certain it's a Bramley.
