Spotted a Minor Million in Saffron Walden today turning onto Newport Road. Never seen it out and about before, so not sure if it's local or just visiting.

A very nice green Moggie in the car park at ALDI in Ipswich this morning. 1275 engine, discs, Marina wheels, Metro seats etc. Looked very good bodywork. Registration no. *RT ***E(F?). Silly me I should have written it down!!! If I had been in my Minor 1000 I would have parked alongside it but I was in my MG BGT. Never seen it before around Ipswich.

Travelling back from holiday in Shropshire yesterday I saw a very nice green van with name on side panel at a petrol station in Craven Arms and then a Maroon traveller somewhere near Worcester. As I was driving along no chance to note numbers etc. A week ago I saw an early green convertible on Seven Hills Road in Hersham, Surrey, going the other way.

Just done a round trip from Cornwall to Reading and back. Saw 3 on the way up (Old A30)

1. LCV, black or dark blue, needing restoration, on the back of a flat bed, A30 westbound in Devon
2. Nice green traveller, A30 westbound in Devon
3. Black Saloon on the A30 whilst sat in road works near Henstridge. We exchanged waves as he came past.

Return on the M4/M5, nothing sighted, and nothing like as nice a drive

Parked my Moggie "Tapitha" next to a 1966 very well used green Moggie GUO 993 D at a leisure centre in Ipswich this morning. The lady had driven it about 40 miles to bring her son to a music event.
