We were in Wells yesterday, spotted loads out and about. A 30s Pachard going to a wedding, a lovely E Type Jag, a J reg blue Morris 1000 and an old P reg London Taxi which was for sale.

On the way back from (I think) a gathering at a local garage today, we spied a very souped-up 105E Anglia, a Mk2 Escort, and a Mk1 Capri.

I saw a couple of old American pick-ups while I was on the way back from Combermere Abbey this afternoon.

On the way back from the shop yesterday morning, a low-ish flying jet passed over that I thought was a Meteor, but an image search suggests was something else. Pods at the end of the wings rather than part-way along.

Yes, that's the name I was searching for, thanks. Or possibly a BAC Strikemaster.

Just now[well,half an hour ago!] in the village where I live, a 105E-type Ford Anglia...probably a 1200cc engine [full width chrome grill]...
Accelerated past me well, sounded just like the Ford OHVs of old...and the exhaust smelt like that of the '60's/70's I remember so well.....Gotta be a better smell than the rotten egg pongs of today's catalysed heaps. Good nick too...unspoilt [none of this Carlos Fandango stuff]

A blue mk 4 Spitfire in Abertillery this evening, not one I've seen before but must have been local or very lost... Laughing

Saw a couple of MGB Roadsters, one silver with a red roof, the other red with a strange hump in the bonnet - possibly with a V8 under it?

Hi
I suppose we shouldn't question your IDs Rick.
Was it a bulge or was it a similar lump to the one on the MGC.

Pretty sure it wasn't an MGC, from the glimpse I got heading in the opposite direction the bonnet looked like a one-off/after-market.

Two immaculate Rover P4s spotted outside a cafe in N Wales today, also in the same area examples of Mk1 and Mk2 Sprite driving on the A55.

Whilst attending [turning up?] a local area Mustang get-together in Howden...[with my Mustang!!] just as I was thinking of departing, up turned a very clean MGC [soft toppy-thing]..and a pre-wawer large MG saloon....
