    91 Figaro down the Quays. Nothing special.
    I was more interested in the Cayenne, RR, RR, Bentley, M5, 640i Vert convoy going down to the port. All black on UK plates.

    absolutely - its good to see someone getting use out of it - obviously it doesn't look overly well minded in the pics - but someone HAD to have minded it for at least some of its lifetime or cared for it - otherwise it wouldn't be still on the road now.

    So today - I saw

    99 Hyundai Accent saloon (Gold edition with the sunroof)

    00 Skoda Felicia

    91 Mk 2 Golf

    99 Merc Sprinter

    late 70s Opel Kadette Coupe

    Saw a Vento too but didn't see what year it was

    It looks in quite good nick for a BL car that has been off the road since at least 1993. I bought a 1977 Triumph Dolomite in a similar state to this a few months ago. It had sat in a garden in Balinteer since 1991, and when we dragged it out of the garden the back end fell off.

    Doubt its savable at all though.
