Hit the jackpot today :)

This rather gorgeous Nissan 300ZX Fairlady at parkrun today :cool:

It's a 'grey import' and the owner was very keen to have a good look at the little red AX in an adjacent space ;)

And then near the end of my duathlon training run and quite close to home I saw this rather fine 100E Popular :D

I had a good chat with its owner...

Out on the bike leg of my duathlon training I also saw a white Moggy Minor :D Not sure if it was a traveller or a saloon, I only saw the front of it...

I recall a brief diversion on the FCF pondering the trivial question...Wonder what was the last car to display a full "Deluxe" branding for the trim level. Yes maybe the DL continued as a proxy, but nice to see the full "deluxe" on on your photo Jim

With this being in production up to 1991, this may well have been the last car with Deluxe on the rear!

Just spotted this, question, Is it an original or a kit car?

You beat me to it Steve, I was going to say it has the right mirror for the year and the right alloys so I'd say it was real, especially considering the way it is parked well off the kerb and out of alloy damage zone. :-D
