Hmm, lets see.
Two in my back garden, occasionally a minty green traveller (usually full of flowers) in St Briavels, a black 2 door with a boot rack around the corner from school in Sedbury and a dark green 2 door (owned by an old lady - i have a feeling she's its only owner!) in Lydney.
If it counts, the back half of a moggie stuck on the side of a building in Aber-something. (:

Saw a black (2 door?) saloon on the M25 at Waltham Abbey this morning around 8.30am. Also 7 various Minors, including a very nice split screen traveller, in a car park in Ullesthorpe near Leicester. :D

This is a good idea.. Some I've spotted around my area (Barking and Dagenham)

Blue Traveller on a driveway down Valance Avenue near to Chadwell Heath.
Primered Traveller on a driveway on Porters Avenue..
A green Traveller with it's back axle off down South park drive near Ilford.
2 black and a dove grey saloon parked down Arundel road near Goodmayes.

The one I'm concerned about was a four door pre-reg saloon, cream colour that I saw parked on the pavement in front of some shops along the Barking road East Ham. I stopped and had a look and the Tax had run out in 08.. I'll have to see whats happened to it.

Anyway hello to all and anyone who owns one of the above!

There was this one on the Roses Run (Morecambe to Scarborough) in September last year. I don't know the owner or where it was from. I'm guessing its the same one![frame]Image[/frame]

Hi all.

:( Sorry to say I spotted a lovely saloon being towed by a breakdown lorry at Wolsely Bridge while on the way home today. The owner, I guess, gave me a lovely wave from the passenger seat of the said truck. :D

I saw two in Exeter yesterday before getting home to find mine surprise delivered! (making 3). There was an old english white traveller parked outside fitness first in Exeter and a rose taupe (or similar) convertible parked around the St Thomas area of Exeter (I think). I don't usually see any, so it was a good day!
