I passed a lovely two-tone Sunbeam-Talbot 90 saloon this morning on my way to work. Haven't seen it before locally but it looked very tidy. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Lots about on the roads these last few days, I spotted a low-loader with 2 wartime Bedford O type lorries on last night. I text my Brother who is a Military buff and told him, he texted me back to say he had seen them too and stopped further on in a layby to take some pics of it going by! _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Typically I had no camera on me, yesterday I spotted an Austin 7 parked up in the next street. Painted brown, in oily rag condition rather than a minter, I think it may be the one I spotted being trailered along the main road a few months back. |

Isn't it funny how a car such as the MK 1V Zephyr which was shunned in it's day can now, all these years later, look good. |

They had the spare wheel ahead of the radiator...I could never quite fathom out the thinking there! |
