Tidy collection of Lambrettas. The blue/grey and the grey/blue pair are very well done.

Not sure if I've seen a LWB H van before, this was parked up within Portsmouth's historic dockyard, a place i enjoy visiting whenever I can.

I spotted a few classics today; a Mk1 Escort, an Aston Martin DB6 cabriolet, and (this is the one that did surprise me) a DeLorean! The last was seen around 10:00 on the M27, between Southampton and Portsmouth.

Are you sure that wasn't in 1955? :-D

No, it was today. I think the flux capacitor was fuxed!

I thought it was an Escort from the first photo.
Just shows how much I know.

Understandable error there Steve, if you take off the spoiler and ignore the badge it is very similar to the MK2 Escort rear end!! :-D
Concoction!

I'm sure I have seen similar spoilers on Escrotes but it was more the lights and general squareness.

Heading north on the A3 (between Petersfield and Hindhead) I saw a black Jaguar XK120, reg PPC 412. I couldn't take a photo, as I was driving.

On the M4 this afternoon I spotted a Ford Escort MkII (on a trailer). It was a momentary glimpse, as I was eastbound and it was westbound.
