Yep that 1500 looks tidy. Surely that vinyl roof isn't standard?

An immaculate H reg MkII Cortina, in Lotus colours but a four-door, came past my house yesterday.

Did you happen to note the details please Rick?


I took a photo of the tel. no. in the window of the Wolseley if you want it, but to be honest it wasn't particularly good - it'd had a rattle-can respray, quite a bit of bubbling and filler in evidence, rusty sills, the seats were poor, overall quite a tired example.

PS saw a Mini Clubman estate driving along today, and a very tidy Lotus Europa parked outside someone's house.

I was out in the Alvis on wednesday and got some smiles and a wave from a couple in a mint morris minor only half a mile from our house.

there seems to be a lot of classic cars coming out of garages around here at the moment, monday, I saw an old austin mini and a jawett javelin that belongs to a lad that I went to school with.

I was travelling through Barnston, which is near Great Dunmow, North Essex today when I took a wrong turning and ended up having to turn round in a narrow country lane. I reversed into someone's driveway to turn round and noticed it was full of old cars - I could see about eight 1100/1300's and four Minis. Smile











If anyone wishes to use the photos (Keef maybe?) then please do.

by gum that was some collection Richard!!! Smile

Reminds me of a haul of GT6s, Heralds and Spitfires I stumbled across in the grounds of an old building near Runcorn I think, a few years ago now. Must go again and see if they're still about..

Thanks Smile

There were indeed some gems among that lot, the black Riley Kestral XNX 67H is still insured and I guessed that one was on the road as it looked very smart, the 1100 at the far end of the track by the garage was a pre-1963 example ***HNX I recall, and I think the red 1100 to the left of that one might have just been a 1300 GT Smile

I reckon there might well be more cars in those garages as well Wink
