Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
I remember being very interested in the SS1 and I went to the 1984 motorshow, partly to look at it. Perhaps the styling wasn't quite right (Only opinion I know) but it seemed to have a lot going for it (And there wasn't much else like it at the time). A rare beast nowadays. I seem to recall the chassis were a bit rustprone.

It's a shame they didn't make more of those and fewer cars with a wheel missing. They might still be in business then.

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
I like those old SS1 as well. Today I saw a preserved Southdown Leyland National and a Maidstone/District AEC Reliance in Battle this morning on their way to a Bus Rally in Hastings.

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
The ones with two wipers had rustprone sills and various other bits, with the single wiper of later cars came Galvanised sills and other structural parts but just like the chassis in Foxes and post-1982 three wheeled Reliants, that wasn't a guarantee of none-rustiness as the bare steel lay about under the leakiest parts of the roof at Two Gates before being sent for dipping (I've seen a stack of really badly pitted unused chassis there during a factory visit in the mid 1980s) - which they seem to have done on the cheap - and consequently, those cars are, if anything, more rustprone than the earlier, epoxy coated ones.

She said she lived around 3 miles from me.She's a long way from home with that one.
Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
Maybe she's only owned it since a month ago then? That was when the car - and a female owner who looked a lot like the lady in the picture - were at a local Noggin meet, along with several others, an SST or three and an Anadol. 
Either way, it's being used and that's what it's all about.
