First place I worked at after leaving school, the manager had one just like that, same colour, same hubcaps, was iirc a 1979 240TD diesel, I was tasked with nipping back from Kippax to pick up some bits & bobs, and to fill it up with Diesel too, so I stopped at the petrol station on Willowbridge Road in Castleford, in those days if you wanted diesel you had to use the HGV pump, as Diesel engined cars were few & far between, so whilst waiting for the pump to be turned on, I was surprised to hear a distant echoey voice saying, that's diesel, until I twigged it was the cashier trying to prevent a disaster, I ended up having to go in and tell her it's ok, it has a diesel engine, how times have changed !

We clearly frequent the same estuary. I took photographs of the middle two in Otterton last week but missed the odd bike and the Minor.

All the other cars are completely eclipsed by those 2 DS’s

Am I the only one who has noticed the 2CV Sahara which is the rarest of the rare? (At least I think it's a Sahara, but it might be a Mehari, which is slightly more ubiquitous)

The grey Alpha spyder would give the DS a rub for (my) money. And the Panhard is a real bit of history too

If it's the grey one I'm not convinced its a Sahara, rather than a 'normal' one with a novelty inset in the bonnet for the spare wheel. All the Sahara pictures I can find show a distinctively different front grille.

On a similar vein, of 4WD, but for a different purpose, I only found out last week that a few Mustangs had 'FF' conversions (as per the Jenson Interceptor)

I think you're probably right - I got rather overexcited. That particular car's a regular at shows & meets, but I can't find out what it is.
I was about to say that it was all a bit dull without a single Capri in sight but then, Starsky and Hutch!
