Driving along today I saw a TR6 and an Alfasud Sprint, while parked I saw a Vitesse saloon and in Tesco's car park, a Fulvia.

I saw a light blue E-Type Roadster waiting at traffic lights, I think an F-suffix plate.

Driving towards work this morning I passed a lovely 1960s Alfa Romeo, not sure of the model but it was E reg, red in colour with numbered doors.

Then low and behold, on my way home tonight I passed the same chap heading back in the opposite direction!

A couple of local spots while cycling round in the cool early mornings. A Hillman Minx on a C suffix plate parked up in Abertillery, not a minter but looking useable enough and sporting some modern looking roof bars. Further down in Six Bells there's a Vauxhall Cresta, again not a minter but not a wreck either - although there were a few cans of what looked like water in the passenger footwell, maybe the rad leaks?

Just leaving the factory in Ilminster this afternoon and I came face to face with a lovely blue and black Austin 7 Ruby.

Frazer-Nash BMW 315 heading south on the A49 through Stretton this morning in the rain (hood down, of course). Grey and Yellow one, I think it may be local

If this is it, I suspect you are correct about local.
This was Tatton around 2005.

A trip up to the in-laws in Birmingham yesterday provided quite a few classics on view.

One very bored 9 year old Son spent time pointing out brand new sports cars and the occasional classic. We spotted a Daimler Majestic out in the fast lane at one point and another notable one was a J reg Sierra Sapphire on the way home.

Spotted this great '52 Reliant van the other day, had quite a chat with the owners who use it regularly for local hops.




Other sightings include a '50s Jensen Interceptor and a Karmann Ghia.
