For a memory refresh this is a Vauxhall Belmont, based on the Astra/Opel Kadett E

The Belmont was to the Astra as the Orion was to the Escort! Mine looked like this:

I spotted a lovely Rover P4 on the A329M coming into Reading this afternoon.

Erm, no. The bodywork was too tidy (although I did, for a few moments, wonder).

Zel popped round to pay me a visit the other day in his P4... It certainly has a very nice patina about it, well befitting a 60 year old car...

The engine is a lovely thing and runs very sweetly... Truly like a Swiss watch

He was very pleased with the keyboard James

I saw a Morris Minor yesterday - in 2 tone 2CV Dolly 'Rhubarb & Custard' colours (well actually Custard and Rhubarb, since the body was red and the wings cream!). Very striking!

Very tasty

I love rhubarb and custard...

Ford Prefect May 1956, you can just about see the defining differential feature between an Anglia and a Prefect of that period down the right-hand side.

My recollection of the early 100E was the three speed gearbox which had a huge gap between second and third ratios, you had to scream the engine in second then move up to third when there was hardly enough torque for it.
I suspect Ford were just looking to get a better top speed.

I was working near Reigate this afternoon when this VW Beetle stopped to fill up. It is a 1962 model, and has not had any work done (other than the usual maintenance).

Anyone for Four Fords all in a row?
