On my way home to drop my mate of from work this week i spotted this. On my return i stopped to take a few pics and the owner was on his drive washing another car.

I got chatting to him about it and he seemed genuinely impressed that i knew what it was. He was only the second owner having got if off the old guy who bought it new in 1972 and kept it garaged ever since. Only 32.000 miles on the clock and the condition reflected this. Very tidy with only a few rust blemishes here and ther, but he explained to me he runs a body shop and all of this is going to be taken care of. Handy to know so i got his bussiness card and may well give him a ring when my cills need doing :lol: .

Anyway here are the pics and some other bonus shots from what i've spotted recently.

Had to go and get two new back tyres as the Yoko's only lasted about 4500-5k miles.
Anyway my mate down there has this as his daily driver:

Low enough

Saw this awesome little 100E Hotrod van on the way home:

Lastly due to a stupid amount of roadworks around here i made a diversion down some side roads and found this old monster (Buick Century i think) layed up next to a dead Volvo:
