Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Can't remember i've posted these, but these are more pictures of a proper 'barn find' near me. I've been emailing the appropriate anoraks and the consensus is that it's a Ford Model AA. A 'heavy duty' version of the Model A.

This has been stranded at the garage I use for several months. Apparently rarity is causing big issues with trying to locate spares required.

Rare? An A reg Audi 80. Who else feels really old after reading that?

I think the rarity comes from it being a quattro?JPB wrote:

Ah right. That'll be forum Audi guru Minxy's territory then, I bet he'd know where to shop for spares.

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
It depends on the spares required. There is an Audi breakers in Little Hampton who were always able to help with my Quattro (with the bonus that I got a day at the sea side when collecting bits)
What makes me feel old was seeing Vauxhall Novas at the NEC classic show. One in full chav spec (it should have been pushed in to the car park and burnt) and one looking factory fresh
