I would love to see one of these Volkswagen/Morris hybrids.

I saw these Rust in Peace cars to-day (actually I have seen before, but never taken a photo) and this Figuaro. Photos below.

Poor mogs, When I (eventually) get mine looking pristine and get the welding done on the Range i'll be after a traveller (probably 2 years time). I gave my last one away when i lost my storage space as it needed a weldathon to get it road legal again.

oh, almost forgot the reason for the post:
MUSTANG!

Is that a naked Sam Glover in front of the 5 series ?

Wishful thinking there methinks.

Today I have mostly been seeing:

At a small garage in the village of Wall, in South West Northumberland; A red VW 1303 or 1303S and a Bristol like this one:


Both standing in front of the workshop, the bug in lovely condition, the Bristol looking less lovely but I still would.

In Morpeth; a very green Triumph TR6 with a large, laughing man behind the wheel, large chunks of him in the passenger seat too.
In Rothbury, a pair of Heralds that appear to be permanent fixtures in the off street parking area parallel to the main street.
In Heddon-on-the Wall, near Newcastle; a Ford Cortina MK2 (1600E?) in aubergine metallic.
In Alnwick; a 1966 Volvo 122s in red with patches of white showing through where it's been polished quite a lot over the years.
On the A68 near the border; three VW T2s, all loaves, all camper vans, no wood in sight and none travelling. Vans, that's what I'd call them.
By the side of the Tweed near Kelso; an A35 with a period sun visor across the screen parked up, its occupants sitting on folding chairs beside the car and tucking in to a particularly large pile of what appeared to be Babybelle with chives, served with Walker's crisps (flavour unknown) and Irn Bru, poured from a 2 litre economy pack into plastic cups of the type usually found in vending machines.

Heddon-on-the-Wall? The three houses in a row together on the main road, well the one with the green gate and ugly extensions was the house I grew up in! (Minus the extensions - when we had it it was just a tiny terraced house )

So if you'd gone past around about 1993 you'd have seen a Hillman Imp out the back

What I have seen so far to-day:

1. VW Beetle (photos below)



2. Red D-Reg Midget (photos below)



3. 1920's Morris Bullnose

4. Pink Nissian Figaro with a normal number plate (photos below), also I hope it is a female's car.

I saw two male "hairdressers" getting out of a pink Z4 in Grenwich earlier.
Back to the classics there was a very tatty manta on the A2 that had broken down, no pic as i was driving at the time and the policeman wouldn't have liked me blocking the other lane to snap it.

Saw quite a few classics going towards Stratford on the A34/A3400 as I was driving out of there today.
(No pictures as I was Driving)

Studebaker Champion (Not quite sure of exact model)
What looked like an Austin 18 York Saloon being followed by a pink beach buggy

I was following an N reg Triumph Dolomite

3 fully tricked out Defenders on German Plates

and mid 70's Ford Capri in Henley in Arden
