Sorry, no camera but DRO370F Maroon B saloon spotted in Sleaford today and missed a gear as he passed my house - practice makes perfect! (I've been doing it for 46 years now)

Nipped into a shop in the square in Frodsham and when we came out this was parked next to Ted :D Waited a while but the owner didn't return unfortunately, very distinctive with Union Jack roof and glass sunroof.[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

While driving along the A30 and A303 on Sunday afternoon a black Minor W(?)FJ 722 came up behind me. I was doing a steady 50mph in a Focus Estate because of the speed restriction. When we reached a dual carriageway I increased speed to nearly 70mph. The Minor overtook me and soon left me behind. Great to see a Minor being driven enthusiastically!

Spotted this morning, the day of the London Transport Bus Strike (not all Garages), just having come off the A316 and heading towards Teddington - First a W suffix Reg Mini[frame]Image[/frame]
Followed, seconds later, by a mid 1960's Clarendon Grey Minor Saloon[frame]Image[/frame]
The Minor saloon looks very well polished on the Dashcam footage (pictures lifted from the video recording).
Both cars were driven by Silver-haired drivers (a Male in the Mini Minor and a Female in the Minor).
I waved to the Minor driver but, as I was driving a Diesel Estate (everyday car), the gesture wouldn't have been noticed.

This week on BBC1 at 4.30pm Antiques Road Trip the car being used is a green 1957 Minor Traveller in beautiful condition. The registration number is VOA 880 and during the week the car will be doing over a thousand miles.

That number plate takes me back a bit (to 1972). My first car was 9249 CR (a 1958 Series II Hillman Minx saloon)!

8) Spotted on Durrington Lane near Worthing, today at approx 10.45am, WPO**5F, a great example of a grey Morris Minor pickup in good order, travelling north towards A27. No time to get a photo I'm afraid.

Spotted, yesterday, on way home from work - a Clarendon Grey 2-dr saloon in Teddington. Seen this one before.
Oddly, it seems to have colour coded wheels.[frame]Image[/frame]
Unless it is dirty Old English White, but then the rest of the car is very clean looking (close up, below) as it was going past.[frame]Image[/frame]
