One For Classic Car Fans.....

Chap over the road from me has a Moggie Woodie on his driveway these last few days. It's under cover, but I'm maintaining surveillance and will snap a pic if it emerges.

My Mum had one of them. Used to have to climb in from the rear barn doors in the Winter as the front doors froze shut.

FIL had one for many years.

WTF is it doing on the footway?!

Never was a fan of Rollers anyway. Grrrr. (sorry)

Same model/colour we had, when we got married

Re; pavement
There is a diagonal 'cut' on that corner (out of camera sight(, that's surfaced like that section of the path

I'm not saying it's right though, to block it completely

On that point, I park on the pavement, but there's still almost 4 foot between my car & our garden wall
Heck!, someone even parks a 7.5 tonner on it too, opposite, if he's at home

I knew there was something we had in common.

It has broken down, I expect

Probably the electrics were mainly all Lucas and Smiths (crap) - this made them almost as vulnerable to failure as pretty much all other old British cars.

Yep, they are notable for their ability to burn money on repairs faster than fuel

A 1990 Toyota Corolla that I see around town sometimes. Bland but actually a very rare survivor now. I can only imagine that the owner gets in and out via the tailgate

Spotted this Econoline in Wakefield, this afternoon
It was at Wood Autos, on George Street
I thought it might be the restored one, quoted below, but no, it's a different registration
Sorry, but it was a 'grab-shot', from the car, hence poor framing

Ford Econoline (1st generation; 61 - 67)
Thornes Lane
Thornes Wharf
Wakefield

Presumably a restoration, as it looked to be stripped internally
Apologies for quality, it was in an awkward position to photograph

Modern Morgan trike spotted in a supermarket carpark. I wonder where they put the shopping.

admittedly not a big one.

Takes me back to circa 1973, Syerston Airfield, Vintage Motorcycle Club used to rock up for the weekend, time trials down the runway...and youd see vintage cars like this with Jap engines, they didnt spare them one ounce. Bearing in mind a lot of the bikes, Velocettes, BSAs, Vincent's...plus the 3 wheelers were already vintage then, they absolutely went for it, hell for leather down the runway. As kids, you could get right amongst it, the smell, the noise, the atmosphere was like nothing a circa 13 year old had ever experienced.
