On New Years Eve spotted a grey traveller going south on the A483 between Oswestry and Welshpool (Shropshire/Powys border), keeping up a very respectful 50 mph.
And a white convertible with maroon hood parked outside the The Walls restaurant in Oswestry 559 XUX (I think).
Almost missed the corner opposite The Walls in my rubber necking.... :oops:

Spotted yesterday (Monday) a white traveller on a car transporter at about 14:45 travelling south on the A1 neat St Neots Cambridgeshire. I was going north so could not get any more details.

Modified green pick-up parked in Honiton High Street this afternoon. Registration HOT35E. There seem to be many Minors in East Devon.

Spot a traffy blue pre 63 car every day on my way to work driving through Mirfield, Yorkshire. I think the REG is something like SSO 379 or something.

Saw a very tidy looking White traveller with wide wheels and large shiny hub caps on the Negombo road yesterday.
Had the pleasure of a ride in Sanduns Black saloon the day before.
He hasn't mentioned it on here but he's made a really nice job of recovering the seats.

After!


I'll try and get some pictures of Minors with palm trees soon, I can only post pics off my phone at the moment.
Going to Jaffna tomorrow, Anuradhapura is too touristy for my liking.

Light grey early Minor 1000 on Fartown, Pudsey. Think the reg was something like OFT 288 but I was rushing past in my black saloon at the time. Didn't get to see if it was a 2 or 4 door..

Bought my Audrey from Matthewsons garage and museum! :D
In fact, she was intended to be a museum piece, just as I purchased her.

You should check out the museum. Plenty of classics and motorbikes in there.

I had a look round the smoke grey trav when i was up there a few weeks ago. pretty tidy at first glance, but a recent, already cracking in places, respray which was poorly masked masked me ask the question 'has it been tarted up to sell?'
