Here are some photos of my recent trips to Tredegar Park in Newport and to North Wales.
This morning, the green Morris Minor has been past and on Saturday, after being picked up at the railway station, we parked next to a Trafalgar blue Morris Minor Traveller in the supermarket car park, just as the driver got back. We were in the MGB and it turned out that the Traveller belonged to the driver's father. I saw a few classics in North Wales; at least one Morris Minor, a nice pre war Rolls Royce and a group of Porsches were staying at the Royal Sportsman Hotel in Porthmadog (They have covered parking).
This is the SP (385bhp) version

It appears that Manchester is a hot bed for daily classics,
I regularly see the following in no particular order:
Morris minor- old English white
MGB -blue
Mk1 golf gti-red
Mk2 Capri- black
Vauxhall cresta- blue white
Series 1 land rover- grey
Austin 7- black/maroon
Austin montego- white
Early mini minor- white
Porsche 944-guards red
VW variant-red
All these are seen on the roads near me.
I really must be quicker with my camera.

There were quite a few of those including a convertible! Nice to see the older stuff surviving in the less soggy climates!

Indeed so. Cars such as the R4 and that Range Rover tend not to be seen so often these days over here in the UK. As for the Pug 104, last time I saw one of those in the wild was March the 11th, 2009.
Your spots put my own to shame. Yesterday the sunny, warm and dry weather down the coast brought out a Sunbeam Tiger which stood out among the usual selection of MGBs, Minors and a Cortina MK3 in fluorescent green but even the noise the Tiger made as its driver attempted to pull away from me on the A1 doesn't trump a yellow R4.

Suddenly, I have a whole lot more respect for the man with the small white tit on his head! He could have rejected the offer outright and held out for a MK 4 Golf like the now-retired ex-pope Basil Cheeseburger (sp?) famously owned long before it sold for the guts of 30k on eBay but no, Pope wossisface had the good sense to accept the car. What a cool geezer. Hopelessly misguided in none car-related matters perhaps, but cool all the same.
