With apologies to Flickr people who may have seen them before. I’m going to kick-off with a couple of big hitters, the quality will probably diminish as I go on.
1974 Datsun 100A 4dr (E10) 1-owner from new by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
I’ve known of this little gem for 16-17 years now, it’s only the second-ever car the 83yr-old driver has owned.
1983 Peugeot 104GR by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Mrs SL took this one for me. As it’s unlikely she’ll join MS and start her own thread I’ll include it here.
1997 Daewoo Leganza CDX – for sale with T&T at £325! by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
What a bargain! Shame about the potential HGF though...
1994 Rover Maestro 700L Diesel Van by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Belongs to a former BMC/ARG/Rover garage.
1986 Vauxhall Belmont 1.6GL by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Current SORN declaration suggests this isn’t as forgotten as it looks.
1983 Vauxhall Chevette GL by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Enthusiast owned. I’ve taken photos of other 1980s Vauxhalls belonging to this lad, like a Mk1 Astra saloon.
Morgans and MG interloper at Sheringham by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Most of the drivers seemed to be men of a certain age.
Track Marshall 75 crawler by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Got patina #1.
1996 Citroen C15D Pickup by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Got patina #2. Odd GRP rear end on this.
1992 Subaru SVX by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Interesting towcar.
1975 Morris Marina 1.8 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Seen by Mrs SL a few times before I managed to grab a photo. Owner got in touch after seeing it on Flickr, he’s only 19 and this is his first car which he’s had since 2008!
1967 Reliant Regal Supervan by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Been off the road since 1990. Seems to be avoiding all the usual modifications #1.
1982 VW Polo GL Classic by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Sticker on the rear window suggests this might be in the hands of a younger owner. Seems to be avoiding all the usual modifications #2.
1977 MGB Roadster by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Mouldy.
1974 Triumph 2000 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Looked very useable.
1978 Lincoln Continental Diamond Jubilee Edition by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Boxy beauties.
1971 Buick Le Sabre by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
1971 Buick Le Sabre by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr
Last, but not least, this was just jaw-droppingly beautiful. Had a quick chat with the owner who’d bought it in Texas with very low mileage, done a bit of an American road trip then brought it back home. Sounds good to me. Sadly it popped up on eBay only a week or two later , saying he’d lost his storage. Rather too much money for me to consider it...
