Re: Spotted today.
Monday morning saw a dark red Minor Van going really well westbound on the A50 in the Derby area. It was sign written with something like "B*********N" but we were going in the opposite direction so no photo! Wonder if it is local?

Re: Spotted today.
Just had a weeks holiday in North Wales. Long drive from Devon. Didn't see any Minors at all, only MGs on the road. Bs, C, Midgets, TC, TD and 50s TF. Where were the Morris owners?

Re: Spotted today.
Spotted by my wife while waiting for a bus in Rennes, Brittany on 23rd May - Green Traveller registered in the UK - probably on it's way to Minors on Tour in Quimper - sad to have missed it myself
Re: Spotted today.
I spotted a white Traveller at Plymouth Dock ferry on Saturday 31 May to catch the night ferry to Roscoff. Sadly I was coming back from my holiday in Brittany. No photos I am afraid.
Re: Spotted today.
In supermarket car park, an Austin A40, two ladies sitting in front seats chatting to some admirers. The best thing was it looked used rather than all shinny. Though how nice an A40 looked, I think it might have been the first hatchback. Btw it was spotted yesterday! Not today!

Re: Spotted today.
I spotted several minors this weekend.
Friday evening a metallic bronze H reg 2door on the A43 near Brackley
Then
A trafalgar blue, an old English white (I think) plus several other classics including an imp and an Austin 1300 on the Northbound A34 between Winchester and Newbury
Then
A brown convertible with cream hood parked in a driveway near Poole/Bournemouth beaches
Finally
A maroon and cream van (and loads of other classics and hot rods) on the A43 near Silverstone today.
Only shame was that neither of my classics was there to join them!

Re: Spotted today.
Grey split screen on the A5 Muckly Corner petrol station, staffordshire about 5pm this evening.
Looked very original, still using trafficators and no flashing indicators.

Re: Spotted today.
I think "SPOTTED TODAY" is a great idea, I live in Sunderland and I think i must be the only person to have a Traveller in the North East! If you have one and live in Sunderland let me know.
So just to clarify I spotted today and in fact see every DAY my project, Trev the traveller REG No WUP170L[frame][/frame]

Re: Spotted today.
Whilst on my way to a location in Somerset, to pick up some Morris spare parts, saw this lovely AA Service LCV heading south on the A358 towards its intersection with the A303 at 13:23 today. He was motoring along quite quickly, so I have lifted 2 cropped frames from my front DashCam unit - there are no in-between frames (shows the speed) and the camera is an HD one recording 720p at 50Hz.[frame][/frame]
The lifted snapshots have been saved as JPEG compressed images.[frame][/frame]
