The Classic Car Thread

Some interesting cars visit that Shootash boot sale. Seen this morning, beautiful 1950 Ford Anglia…

…not far from a cracking Mustang.

Saw this car again at the weekend, so it must be a local one.

Never seen it myself.

My treasure at a National Treasure this morning…

Was it in “homing” mode?

No I’ve never worked at the new place…hardly ever “worked” at the old place. :rofl:

I’ll refrain from asking if it was there to have the engine remapped. :sunglasses:

No I was there to talk to the museum archivist about some hardware and documents in my possession.
This time next year I could be a milyonaire. :smiley:

Of all the possibilities mate, I never had you down as a blackmailer.

Outside the Ocean Terminal this morning, a rather lovely 1990s Merc 190.

I subscribe to this chap’s Youtube channel. He gets to drive some unusual classics.
I’ve only seen one of these in real life. It was when I worked as a casual in the docks in the late '90s, it was a fresh personal import awaiting collection; needed restoration. It wasn’t locked, and it wouldn’t start so I couldn’t nick it. :frowning:

The last time I visited Partridge BMW in Eastleigh, there was a beautiful red M1 on display in the foyer. I think it may have been a semi-permanent fixture there. Absolutely stunning car close up.

Classic open-top continental cruiser…naa, a fuckin’ mental roller skate…

Pluribus (Apple TV) is seriously clever.
But.

There is a moment when a loner (no spoilers) decides to go on a road trip.
Gets organised gets in his car.
An immaculate MG Midget.
Opens the garage door.
Takes a deep breath as he mentally faces up to the journey.
Turns the key.

And it doesn’t start.
That is SO British Leyland , only someone who’s owned a Midget /Allegro/Maestro truly knows
