Barrett's South Coast Spottage

[Jonny69]

I'm going to have to root through the thread looking for that two-tone Prefect now. Being as my first car was the same two-tones on a Prefect, I have an unnecessary interest in them. I'm loving how crispy that Herald looks - I'd crash that into something just to find out how badly it flies apart.

[Barrett]

Not sure if the Prefect is featured here or just the old site (RIP) so here it is again. It's changed hands now as far as I can tell, it's in a different town anyway. Still looks just as rough though.

Hey, seems like I've not updated this for ages. Have some more automotive dross

Non-blue 323, always nice to see. Parked outside work.

Unimaginably grim Escort estate. Chances of this smelling like wet dog are HIGH

1968 Land Rover by barrogance, on Flickr

Heartwarming stuff here. This was crunched quite badly in an accident a couple of years ago and has been sat looking forlorn and forgotten on a drive, but it's recently been repaired and given a snazzy new paint job. French reg on UK-style plates looks bizarre though

Shaky Clubman with horrid arches. Same owner has a nice green countryman that I'm yet to photograph

Superb little Ruby in central Brighton. Perfect commuter car

1935 Austin 7 by barrogance, on Flickr

Big horrible American thing. Had a proper winch thing on the back, it's like a deluxe KFW tat hauler

1957 Dodge C-Series by barrogance, on Flickr

BOOM! (with thanks to Gary for the heads-up on this)

1969 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe by barrogance, on Flickr

[Jonny69]

Crikey, that Escort looks a right state. Old man owner, ex handiman, rollie smoker with nicotine-yellow hair, last car before he expires and he's keeping it barely on the right side of legal?

[Barrett]

A few more from the last few weeks

Nexia!

1996 Daewoo Nexia GLi by barrogance, on Flickr

I thought this had the look of a car that'd just been pulled out of storage, and sure enough it's been off the road since 2001. Quite rusty in places, but hopefully these are worth enough money now to justify getting it back on the road

Nice local pair, the Minx just appeared today and despite how it looks it's T&T'd. Possibly due to the fact that it's MOT exempt

BLUFF van is great, where was the 500?

Accidentally got talking to the guy who owned this who then WOULD NOT STOP talking. Bloody old cars.

And yeah, another non-spot but this has been making my mornings much more fun than they have any right to be. 22mpg though!

Whose is the Alfa?

Did you find out any more about the mystery SPC thing?

[Seth]

Excellent. Shame about the modern car in the 127/Talbot photo. I hope your driver on the French trip was not too perturbed by your desire to photograph rubbish old cars as you trundled by.

[Paul H]

Time for some more!

Apparently NOT an XJ6 SIII

Is that because being that shape but an F reg, that it's an XJ12 Series 3?
