Spotted this Merc limp yesterday, oddly enough being used to move a carpenter's tools! An aristocratic joiner!

We stayed there earlier this year, with a 'balcony view' onto the Stone Jetty
( Items 3 & 4)

Personally, I think I'd sooner have the Yank, 57 Chev, or a Fairlane?

Love the hotel though and Morecambe....as for your taste in cars...enough said !

I think it's a Chevy possibly a '56 going by the trim

The Sera is quite interesting too.

We got a reasonable deal
I’ve watched the Hotel from open, but rough, to derelict, to B&B, to derelict, & finally rescued & restored
We first went in about 3 months after it reopened (2010?)

Would actually prefer a ‘55
In black, with Centreline wheels..
(as per a certain film)

Blocking the view of the much more unusual and interesting Toyota Sera.

Aaahh! That's a survivor, these rust quite a lot. I had one a long time ago - loved that car, but it ended up buried in the side of a car that pulled out of a side road in front of me. That's a T-bar variant too (like mine was) so will have full leather interior. Nice to see the original wheels on it.

I was between the Mk1 (AW11) MR2 and the Mk2 (EE8) Honda CRX VTEC. The MR2 came along first.

I did later get a CRX VTEC which was also a fantastic car and survived my ownership. I sold it in 2004 but I know that it is still going.

I've spend an hour or so reminscing, watching The New Avengers, & even though it didn't feature in those episodes, I got to thinking about Steeds XJ12C, & found these pages

It looked damned good back then!

There's also a 1/18th scale available!!

Aye, looks like the crossbreed son of an Escort rally car and a Jag, the XJ12c is a beautiful car, there's a guy called Harry has one (website Harry's Garage)
