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!! 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Apparently the green one is a 1937 Nimbus Mod C 750cc ....and it's ridden by Gert Holmersma in case you wanted to know
There was a black 1936 version there as well. Wonderful to see the exposed valve gear

Re: I-Spy Classic Cars/Bikes-What have you spotted?
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...

Re: I-Spy Classic Cars/Bikes-What have you spotted?
Some nice cars - and a motorbike - from a car meet this evening.......
By all accounts, a 1962 Lotus Seven. I'd quite like that, thanks..... but I doubt I'd fit in it
Another, more modern version.
So out of the first three in the row, which would you prefer to drive home in ?
Same question for this pair - lairy madness, or great fun ?
I was chatting to the owner of this - he's also got a Honda N600. The Topolino is flat out at about 30mph
...Not surprising when you see the engine
This Austin 7 looks to be stuck in the olden days.
Rover 60 given the modern treatment.
And the previously mentioned motorbike - a pleasant old Kwaka...

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

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.

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.
