Triumph ...Toledo?
I learnt to drive in a Toledo but this looks a bit bigger than I remember. Belongs to a guy doing some local garden work.

It's not bad, after adjusting the fuel screw to give a small amount more fuel, and adjusting the govenor it pulls like a train and does not smoke.
Can cruise at 65 or 70 no problem, and loads of torque which the aircooled lacked.

Ohhh, explain the governor bit..  I'm about to turn the fuel up on my current 1Y lump

Nice little Mini Clubman belongs to the same guy as the Triumph 1200 & regularly hauls a trailer full of gardening equipment.

Little red Corvette belongs to a customer on my Postal delivery. He was busy polishing it for the Teddy Bear toy run in Sussex tomorrow. He also owns a Cadillac.

Lunatic's recently acquired '54 Chevy, outside his workshop this afternoon.
It used to belong to Scottie the Hotrod haulier & runs a 2 litre diesel taxi engine.
It's definitely in need of some TLC, but Loon has big plans for it. I'm hoping to hitch a lift in it down to the Boxing Day classic meet in Romsey, Hants in a couple of weeks time.

Spotted this lovely RE (Royal Enfield), dating from around 1930 parked up in this morning’s 1 degree chill, the engine steaming from the drizzle, with the owner supping a cuppa, getting some warmth back in.

The owner had recently bought it from the previous owner, and said he'd only just got back on the road. The last time it was on the road was around 1953 according to the tax disc.

Brrrrr
