So tacky it's almost good in a bad way. Looks like it was driven through an accessory shop and came out with much of the stock attached. At least the owner loves it.

Thanks for the Fulvia Paul, a achingly pretty car and very handy on rally stages. It’s also nice to see the red Elan, another pretty little car, and for nostalgia’s sake, the Allegro!
The Standard Vanguard holds special memories for me - my first ever car ride was in one, when my parents took me home from the maternity hospital! Having said that I don’t remember the car though, by the time I was old enough to recognise a car, the Vanguard had been replaced by an FB Holden Special.

Lots of nice cars there, Paul! Loved the Fulvia too! A timeless design! ❤️ Haha! Or, the Aliii-Express!  So tacky it's almost good in a bad way. Looks like it was driven through an accessory shop and came out with much of the stock attached. At least the owner loves it. LOL   |

Cool video, Tom! It’s amazing to see that so many different Japanese cars are now being cherished by new collectors!  Seen an hour ago while riding my bike!  |

Paul, you're really at the right place and time, are you not? Love every single one, just wow! But I'm going to pick a few standouts...Humber Sceptre, the timelessly elegant P5B, and who doesn't love and Oliver Winterbottom wedge - Lotus Eclat!

I paraphrase a comedian, this is the car equivalent of being kicked through Primarni/TK Maxx and coming away with all manner of of clobber

Probably didn't close the door fully. That could be? These old Broncos have taken on a second coming within the restomod world. Spotted one in the parking lot of our insurance company last week...it had a paint finish akin to a Rolls-Royce! |

I met the Hubnut some years ago, that is all. Anyway thanks for your comments on the show chaps, got some more.... Unusual to see two ordinary Peugeots rather than the GTI version. The 309 has done around 20k miles and is entered into a car show here called the Festival of the Unexceptional whereby entries are invited for the cars of the 80s/90s that were the boring everyday version. Plastic hubcaps are a plus there. The 309 lives just up the road from me.  Austin Montego that looks like new, hope the owner enters it for the FOTU as above.  Cute Mini pickup  1989 Granada Ghia 2.9 V6, not sure about the body kit though  1985 Capri 2.8i Special. I have a feeling that Martin will like it as do I.  1961 Austin Cambridge A55 Mk2, my primary school form teacher had a grey one. Many ended their lives on the stock car track (Cambridges not teachers)  A brace of Reliants with the correct number of wheels, a GTC and a Scimitar. Our Princess Anne loved them and owned several and also got nabbed for speeding a few times.  I love this Dauphine which was registered a couple of weeks before my Anglia in September 1959. It is a British built car from Renault's plant in West London. The owner has had it for 38 years. It's very rare in that it is a Gordini and has the sporty wheels which are much sought after and very expensive these days.     Nice older Mercedes 350D  The unexceptional 309 in time warp condition  Farm implements  Yay a Bond Bug. The car next to it is my friend who owns the 1924 Morris's Dutton amphibious car, yes it can go into the water  Nice pair of MG Y Type saloons  Pretty Sunbeam Rapier  Yes there more photos to come....but not too many |
