Forgot about this😠
I passed this closed garage on the way there

It's on the old Pontefract Road; from Springreen Garden Centre - 'Cock & Crown' pub (the old main road, before Weeland Road was extended/widened)

The XJS has been there for as long as I've been passing this place (15 years?), there used to be a Vauxhall Chevette & a Rover SD1as well

On my way back from the Walton Classic Car show, I rode through Heath (a 'conservation village' to the south-east of Wakefield)

Outside the Kings Arms, a trio of 'classics' were there

This trio of Landies were there
The red, appears to be a 'Stage 1'
There's no V8 badge on the rear, it's on parabolic front springs (sensible)
Period correct fog-lamps too
Plus. a 'Safari Roof' (double skinned, to help prevent internalover-heating, & an 'air-gap')
The DVLA 'vehicle check' states 3528cc, which is correct for a Stage 1, but, it also states diesel....

Perkins prototyped the V8 into a diesel form, but it didn't go into production (Project Iceberg, if anyone's interested)

Mercedes-Benz 'whatever'
Not my kind of car, but someone has spent a large amount of money on paintwork

That reminds me of the customised Hillman Hunter that used to appear at these shows back in the 80s. It had an airbrushed sci-fi scene on the bonnet with the name Space Hunter.
