Interesting one !! South American oddity like the DiTella 1500 (a Farina Pick-up with Riley 4/68 front end) maybe? Tail lights possibly late 60s VW Type 3 fastback ?

More today... Grantchester on ITV this eve:
Maroon Traveller 486UXR (a regular on the box these days... think its an early cheesegrater one).
Also a Sandy Beige S.II facelifted saloon.

I've got a wire-spoke steering wheel and use a steering wheel locking bar as a visible deterent. Probably won't stop a determined thief but should make an opportunist think twice. I have a secret switch too. I box the car in on the driveway when I can't get it in the garage. I tend not to use the ca...

Looks lovely,and Austin badged, but if you want to see the best proper Austin pickup ever, check out the A30/35. Like rocking horse poo now, enthusiasts are importing restoration projects from South America! Cute and quirky but I suppose impractical as a working vehicle... no drop-down tail-board. ...

Thanks! That looks good. Love the narrowed (?) load bed and chunky arches

Black convertible looks very nice. Can you tell me what the bright blue one is please? Looks like a pick-up but not a Minor... ?

Marina was absolutely lovely. Had loads spent on it by previous owner. Current owner only bought it last week as replacement for a Ford 100E ! Even has an 8-track player fitted.

New Unnamed Classic Car Club monthly meet at the Old Waggon & Horses near Kidderminster.

Some pics from today's meet.

Spotted and snapped this morning by Mrs PB in Kidderminster. Half an hour later the car pulled up outside our house whilst I was washing the Moggie. I now know the owner lives a couple streets away and had seen my car whilst he was out walking the dog. Said he'd been wanting to have a natter. It's a...

Agree with firedrake. I'm sorely tempted by it. Unfortunately Mrs PB doesn't share my enthusiasm and my thin ice detector is working overtime

Laptop still sulking so small Samsung screen makes it look black. Blue interior is better. Didn't Thames Blue come with beige seats / green piping / green carpets...?

Seem to remember the car being on t'interweb around xmas 2015 possibly for sale

I don't like the non-original black interior in the Tourer. The '61 saloon is more my cuppa especially with that low mileage, and I love 4-doors anyway. Its the 3rd black 4-door they've had for sale in the past year. Other two were a nice 1962 and a 1956 Series II which is now mine! Wish I had need ...

If you are newish to the area and into cars in general keep an eye out for the Himley park car show and if you look for GREASY using facebook you will find it is a meet in Stourbridge for American and old Uk cars, They are both in the "DY" postcode, here is a link to the Himley show. http...

..and another one... seen today in Kidderminster. Green Traveller BKE***B

I'd never by a test-exempt car without a recent new ticket. I'm dustrustful enough of second hand moderns with 'new tickets' on them! Underside of the car was my main concern. I didn't get a REALLY good look at it before buying last year and I've not had time or space until now to do much with it. T...

Thanks Louise.

Not able to post link for some reason. The club is on facebook. If you search facebook for The New Unnamed Classic Car Group you'll find up to date info. They also have a website www.thenewunnamedclassiccargroup.co.uk
Its no longer updated but has some good pics and basic info.

If you can spread the word that'd be great. The meet seems to attract an MG Owners Club presence. I'm newish to the area and haven't had much local MMOC contact yet but a decent turn-out of Moggies would be nice once in a while

Many of you may already be aware of this one. For those of you who aren't, here goes: Classic car group local to Kidderminster meets last Sunday of each month at The Old Waggon & Horses public house, on the A491 Stourbridge Road DY10 3NX. Vehicles displayed on field behind the pub. Field open fr...

Also spotted last Sunday (Drive It day): Didn't have time for Birmingham Branch Rally so just went for a brief drive locally. No Minors spotted but had a very nice blue Mk.1 Consul convertible, with the top down, following me near Wolverley. Stopped for a cuppa at The Lock Inn and something small, l...
