Sold my A30 (Nellie) not long ago. Still got lots of bits and pieces to sell that I collected along the way, including a brand new visor. Here's a bit of Nellie. You can see how small the window is, that's if the snake doesn't put you off! Aha. You sneaky thing Andy, you posted that very informative pic while I was typing this post.

Isn't that A40 a cracker, who said we couldn't make sought after motors back in the day, affording them? well that was something else

You just want to get in it on a sunny day and drive. Looks in very good condition. Lovely.

Not Waitrose? Surely a classy car like that deserves Waitrose.

Cheltenham wasn't as classy as I expected at all. I'd been to the vintage sports car club hill climb at Prescott Hill & was on my way home. I thought there'd be lots of nice Georgian architecture to look at, like Bath, but all I found was a very soulless, dismal town centre. Saw this on my way out of town.

Depends which part you drive through - I was there a couple of weeks ago heading to a VW show on the racecourse, and I saw some lovely buildings!

2 completely unconnected oldies in the space of 5 minutes in my local Halfords carpark this afternoon. First was what I assumed was a Lancia. It's actually a "Bitter". A mid 80s German car. Never heard of them before. 3.9 litre automatic. One of only 30 right hand drive ones imported into Britain. Only 10 still on the road over here.
