Probably the best weekend for a long time, both weather and classic car spotting  . Off to Worcestershire on Saturday I spotted an immaculate red Healey 3000 and a late 40s American coupe, possibly a Dodge, both in the Hagley area. Tenbury as usual lived up to expectations, within a minute of arriving I had seen a Series two E type 2 +2, an early MGB GT on steel wheels and a Midget.
However the highlight was yesterday, near Shelsley Walsh although I don't think that there was anything on. First the 1911 Sunbeam racing car I think that I mentioned in these pages a few years back, followed a couple of minutes later by a primrose yellow Dino 246GT  . After that a an Alfa Spider (S3?) and a couple of Triumph Spitfires today was very much an anti-climax. |

Was it this one?

That photo was taken last year when it was first around. I was talking to the driver, it was going for some engine work on behalf of the owner. I thought I saw it the other weekend, but wasn't sure it was the same car. If I see him again I'll mention the brake lights. |

Hi
Seen today;
I've been along the A616 a few times lately and this old tractor at Midhopestones is now in the middle of the paddock rather than in the corner.
Then down in Tintwistle I am sure I caught sight of the rear half of an AMC Pacer in Pink.

Hi
Been to Leicester today and found these two only 20yds apart..
Came back through Tintwistle again and it doesn't look like a Pacer after all particularly if it is what's on Streetview.
I did say it was only a glimpse

That Pacer looks like a Subaru Impreza mk1 Hatchback.

We passed a red Mk1 Fiesta this morning. Looked like it had a recent paint job.

That's been around for a while, I saw it early last year.
On Saturday afternoon I passed another American car that I don't have a clue about. I'm going to say late 60s or early 70s, a lighter green than the Plymouth above, a 2-door saloon rather than a coupe shape. Other than that, I have nothing. It was parked on the side of the road with a more modern car behind it, I wondered if it was a breakdown or maybe just pausing to wait for the rain to drop a bit.
Lots of stuff yesterday, of course. |
