Saw a well used black, 948 LCV van (modern front lights tho') in Goodge Street WC1 today- RVS 947. It has been in the area for many years.

A rare one as assembled at Abingdon!

Hampton Dene area of Hereford on Tuesday, two black Minors, 2 door, followed about 1/2 hour later by a four door. I was sat on the school playing fields watching sports day and heard the distinctive sound of a Minor before it hove into view!

Road-trip and overnight stay in Weston-super-Mare. Rather surprised, but not a single Minor spotted. Instead, yesterday on the M5 southbound (at various points between Worcester and Bristol), a 1967 sloping-tail rare Alfa Romeo Spider Duetto, a 1930's drop-head Humber and on a transporter a 1974 Rover P6 covered in cr*p and looking very barn-fresh. Today on the sea-front at Weston, a 1938 Austin Ten and on the M5 again, a Vauxhall PB Cresta or Velox (1963-ish) on a transporter. Finally a stunning and rare Austin A105 Six (Westminster). Early short-boot version made only between May and December 1956. Two-tone Chelsea Grey and Palm Green. Metal sunvisor with adjustable spotlamp attached. Factory-correct whitewalls.

several Minor's including 2 vans,at the Ashby Magna Steam Fair yesterday.loads of other classics,cars,bikes,lorries,traction engines etc. well worth a visit today (2 day event).

A tidy traveller at the Great Central Railway (Loughborough) on 17/6/17. It was parked between the station and the engine shed and attracted quite a few looks as people walked past.

It looks very tidy indeed.

It was a decent car in a fairly rare late shade of blue when I sold it in late 2015. I believe it was later sold by Charles Ware in 2016.

Nice looking K reg van in yellow and cream. Parked near the 'Black Boy'pub in Heage,Derbyshire.

This one is now for sale. Advertised in this weeks' Classic Car Weekly. Its a 4-door. £4250. Mileage is actually 29,000. Couple of pics further up this thread, posted on 1 June 2017.

That doesn't sound daft money, if as described. But she won't let me build another garage...

Very tempted but I'd have to sell Max if I went for it. It's only a couple of miles away from me.

Yes, it's got that BMC rosette sticker they are very fond of.

Yes. Even though BMC were long gone by the time that car was built

Spotted today at 2:45pm on M1 southbound near Woodall services... Smoke Grey 4-door with loaded roof-rack. Heading for the national perhaps...?

I saw a Traveller in Berkhamsted yesterday.

yesterday..a nice black Minor,RRT ***,boarding the Wightlink ferry bound for Pompey.

saw an eggshell blue Moggy,'E' reg,being recovered by the AA today on the A45,Northants.

Saw couple of days ago a silver euro box in Andover with the registration of 617 DAM. I feel that's a bit in bad taste - am I alone?
Regards, MikeN.

I saw a nice maroon convertible in Berkhamsted this morning.

617 Dambuster squadron, so perhaps some family relation of "Bomber" Harris?

Any Reservoirs in Andover?
