From down here too, Somerset reg. I have had two of the same basic design, a Wolesly 4/60 and a diesel A55 cambridge plus an LHD Oxford estate which I fitted with Wolsely dash etc when I converted it to RHD.

They were the days, sooo easy to work on.

This is a regular sight where I live!

It's actually a Fiat 850 Sport Coupe.......but this one is badged as a Seat!

Funnily enough I owned a 69 model back in 1973......and looking at how small and low it is, god knows how I managed to do so much "socialising" on the back seat!

My boss's wife used to have one that I got to drive quite a bit, brilliant little car.
She replaced it with a first generation Civic, that was equally good fun to drive.

It would outrun a 1275 GT Mini no problem!

Not that that was a benchmark for performance of course!

Not "socialising" on the back seat!" with the boss's wife?

She was very fit and would probably. have been up for it but no.

I don't know about classic but probably unique.

Moving the next few to here. More relevant I think

Nice Triumph TR3.

One possible slight anomaly...it has a Blue and White badge on the bonnet. This may have just come along with the "updated version" the TR3A with the full width grill. Previously the Red and Black badge appears to have been the norm!

and Just for good measure a TR3A from one of Francois Roussel's "Drawing of the Month"" in Gazoline Magazine. The "Translate this page" comes up with some colourful descriptions in the litte caption for the drawing

Nice expression on the face of the Simca Aronde on the right.

Always worth digging this image up. The World's most glum Ice Cream Van!

Spotted out and about today.

I'd rather have the Rolls version (and a few years earlier before they messed about with the dash), but always nice to see.
