I followed a 1991 H Reg Saab 900 home through the village tonight. It was tidy but only had one brake light working.

Hi
Last couple of days I've seen a taupe Moggie 1000 estate near Frodsham, a Black MGB GT chrome bumper in Colne and a shocking pink Overfinch Range Rover in Heywood

Probably was that one Mike.

A Range Rover Classic in a very 70's muddy light green/grey just went by.

I once had a black 900 turbo! Sold it to someone over Manchester way....High speed bus, as I recall, I didn't really like it.....maybe because the headlining drooped around my ears?

There was a series 1 Land Rover in the village yesterday. Not that unusual, except that this one was a four door estate version!
Can't remember the last time I saw one of those.

The local maroon XJS Convertible was spotted in town today, driving through the salty mush. The rear bumper corner was hanging off.

Passed a little red MG Midget in the rain on the way home tonight.

I didn't get a good look at it because of the size of the tow vehicle - a largeish modern van - but I saw something that might have been an Austin 7, either painted brown or very rusty, being trailered along the A467 road just outside Abertillery this afternoon.
