OK, so spotted on TV and not 'in the flesh', but I've been watching 'The Architecture The Railways Built' on UKTV Play.
I was watching S2 E5, which includes an item about the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway in Devon.
The programme must've been recorded in 2020, as it was originally broadcast in early 2021.
On a walk past intro segment, barely lasting a couple of seconds, the presenter Tim Dunn is briefly shown passing a SII, which looks like TRL634, which is now SORN.
It looks to me that there is something odd about the wiper setup.
There's no way those blades could sit flat at the bottom of the screen, they'd hit the centre pillar :-? :-?
I wonder if the owner frequents these pages?

A smoke-grey (I think) convertible spotted this afternoon on the Probus by-pass. I was going west in my SII and the convertible was going east.....

Today - Very nice condition 'F' Reg Trafalgar Blue Minor saloon at Buckingham Garden Centre. Spoke with the owner and had a short conversation regarding Morris Minors. The owner is a member of the MMOC.

BBC 4 tonight 80s series Edge of Darkness, a traveller being driven briskly by Pendleton. Had to laugh when he's asked where's the Mercedes he says it's for state occasions we have to save fuel :lol:

It’s the ‘Oxford Thames’. The bodywork is so so but the interior looks like it’s never been sat in. I’m very jealous of the front seats! 😂

Hello,
I was out enjoying the sunshine in my Traveller this morning, in the Cheadle area of Manchester, and spotted this four door saloon parked up in a side street. Doesn’t look like it’s moved for quite some time ?,Haynes manual on seat ? , Slowly corroding in all the usual panel areas, didn’t look underneath…..
Anyone know anything about it ?
Kind regards

I checked and it is taxed and insured. I googled the number plate and there was a photo of it being towed behind a van.
