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

Back in the days when we had 'proper' famous people and the word 'celebrity' was as yet unknown...

This is usually parked up in the local village when i go through on the bike (not a great pic, as off the bike camera)

Assume it is in regular use; G plate I think (68/69). Hard to believe just how small it is!

Can I get an reg check on a bike please, EHJ 980P, it looked like an old dirt bike in restored condition

[mickthemaverick]

That is a Bultaco Ryan, details here

[Rp0thejester]

Never heard of them apart from the 2 Stroke noise that I heard. It didn't have a reg on the front wheel guard so was post war, definitely a trials bike just can't find a photo of it. It had a single exhaust pipe on its right hand side roughly as long as the rear wheel. I'm hoping it's local so I can get some photos

Yes it was similar but more trials bike, stripped back, smaller tank, no big light on the front. Hopefully I'll see it again, was gunna flag him down but dog needed a poo

The DVLA thinks its blue 1976 and 250 cc This is a more trials type model of that era the Bultaco Pursang

It's a BSA Sport Star (C15)

Not quite as good a name as the Starfire or the Barracuda

I do get to see some rare cars in Londons private underground car parks.

[CitroJim]

Lovely... ULEZ exempt too

[bobins]

It must be a real treat for them to park that in an underground car park. Absolutely no opportunities for things to get awkward as far as I can see.

I will say though before I left work I looked in the back of it and there was a rosette, London Concourse, highly recommend. So well looked after

[mickthemaverick]

On my way home the other day I was lucky enough to come up behind my all time favourite car in my favourite colour scheme in its natural habitat. I was even able to exchange a greeting with a toot as we went our separate ways! There's even a bit of Talksport waffle to keep the interest

This is close to home, next door's grandson in fact.

A few months ago it was an ugly dog with peeling paint and a home fitted body kit pop riveted on in a very haphazard way.

I introduced the guy to an old friend who took it in hand, repaired the mess and repainted it, this is the result.

Can't find the original picture from this post but after sitting on grandma's drive for around three years unused the yellow peril has finally gone on it's way, I think the owner gave up after spending thousands on it.
