What a joy to see a brown Triumph Spitfire. Top quality example too.

Those Spitfires are great but I'm not fond of the poo brown colour at all...

A you might guess, I believe they look very best in bright yellow :D

My only spot on a long bike ride yesterday was this MGB..
MGB in Lavendon

And in exactly the right colour too... You might say and MGB in BRG ;)

Did you notice how the spitfire barely reached the height of the door handles of the thing next to it.

I'm amazing how small cars of the 60s look now... Even a Austin 1100 looks tiny... And as for a Mini or a 105E Anglia...

I feel it to a degree in my two Citroens... Both very tiny now by modern standards...

And longer... And wider...

Mini in name only... Even the Maxi was nowhere the size of a contemporary Mini...

I've known about it for some weeks but it's normally dark when I ran past it, today was a rare occasion when I ran past it in daylight :)
