Some old bikes parked up at the same place. Quite a few British made ones in foreign ownership :)

I love the frame on the green bike in picture 3, it looks like you could build it from a traditional Meccano set!! :-D

Apparently the green one is a 1937 Nimbus Mod C 750cc ....and it's ridden by Gert Holmersma in case you wanted to know :-D

There was a black 1936 version there as well. Wonderful to see the exposed valve gear :)

Two good spots during my hike to Watchet yesterday...

Looks good in yellow...

This is a proper fun car, despite being a bit rough in parts...

And appropriately, it was very close to the beach...

I was chatting to the owner of this - he's also got a Honda N600. The Topolino is flat out at about 30mph :-D
...Not surprising when you see the engine

Probably the Citroen Light 15 and the JZR trike for me. If I had the Audi it'd all end in tears, same for the Westfield. :?

The Light 15 is for sale, in case anyone is interested :-D

It's the Audi all day long, if I don't wrap it around a tree. Or what looks like a Toyota Supra alongside it.
