Hi
There was a "D" prefix SAAB between Heaton Park and Middleton yesterday.
Gunmetal Grey is the nearest colour I can think of to call it not sure if a it was 90 or 900

A very enjoyable day out today visiting the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight and then West Kirby for some sea air  . Not much seen in 185 miles though, a Routemaster with Grand National on the destination blind  turning off the A41 towards Wrexham (heading for the Mersey Tunnel ?), a very tidy red Fiat Coupe in Heswall and a Classic Saab 900 in the same blue as my last one was, near Whitchurch. |

Hi
Seen in Bromley Cross, Bolton, this evening a '56 VW Beetle. reg was '56 WWJ it had a single oval rear window; no bumpers so I couldn't use them diagnostically but it's semaphore indicators were still working.
Colour was a bit odd, a matt mid/green sort of camouflage colour..

Was the Jaguar XK 140 in Tenbury Wells by any chance? I've seen one there a few times.
Welcome back Geoff I wondered where you were.

Hello Bri, yes it was in Tenbury, in Teme Street In my'excitement' I forgot to mention the actual location  A similar car was sold by Brightwells in Leominster last September, I wonder f it was the same one? Thanks for the welcome back, I have been busy with things like moving, changing ISP etc over the last year or two. Do you still have that superb Ro80? |

Went into town this morning, we passed a really nice mid 50's Wolseley. It was done up as a Police car and even had a light and bell.
