One careful owner (out of several).

You'd know if you had - they're rough and noisy lovers I believe

Yep, you definitely remember it when you've been in one of them. 😁

A friend of my dad's has two Jupiters, one of which was his first car in his early 20s and which he bought back and restored many years later having tracked it down to the USA. The lucky blighter also has a Jaguar MK2 and a Daimler Dart. I'm not envious. Honest.

Thought I should post a few contributions of my own. Here are a few interesting (well they were to me) cars I've spotted over recent months.

A nice 1979 mini 850. It had a rather nice tartan fabric interior which the owner told us came from a 90s example.

A sporty looking MGB GT with a dubious looking personal plate.

A well looked after Rover P6 surrounded by modern boxes.

And finally, a non-ULEZ-compliant original Range Rover.

Love the RR

Oh my ...
Bristol 401

I still fancy, a good L322, with the 4.4 TDV8


However...

I've seen a few at their showroom (an old cinema, I think), in Thirsk; https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/twisted-landies.275468/

Our local Moscovitch is looking a bit tatty these days.

... And a gratuitous Moggie soft-top.

I like Moscoviches
One of our neighbours had one when l was a kid

Yesterday, but no opportunity to photograph it, l was what was possibly a Dacia, the Renault 12 shape
(looked to be in too poor a condition, for even a Renault)

Interesting couple of Youtubes, still trying to work out how he got them there

Said this in another post regarding Minis (or BLs in particular)...the wide ( or maybe narrow) range of survivability of them. My dad brought a T reg (so just a year older than the one in your picture) mini 850 brand new, reckoned it was the worst car he ever owned because it was rotted out in maybe 6 years.

We don't know the history of the one in the photo of course, it could have been cosseted in a garage all its life, But it seemed true of so many Austin/ Morris / BLs , one would survive for decades and another would rot out in short order.

A small classic car meet at a venue near me today - I happened to be riding past so stopped for a nosey.

This actually passed me on the way to the venue. Once it was past me I could barely see the rear of it for smoke

A lovely old Saab 96 two stroke then , we grew up with those
