Not exactly 'Spotted' but... 2-door saloon and van. Both maroon. Both split-screen. Both parked by the amusement park in Stourport-on-Severn. Anyone know them and the story behind them?

Spotted a white saloon going the opposite way on the M18 this morning. Looked to be modified with big black wheels and was moving at a fair lick :)

Post Office Red (?) Traveller a few cars back in the queue behind me in SW London this afternoon - honest it wasn't a road run.

Earlier in the week my 1960 4 door squeezed past a similar Daimler Dart going south up Sheen Lane after leaving Richmond Park. Nice to get two silver on black reg vehicles in the same area!

There was a major vehicle show at West Bergholt near Colchester yesterday. There were a considerable number of Minors exhibited so it is not surprising that there would have been several on the way home in the Essex/Suffolk area. One convertible was for sale at £11,500.

Seen those two a few times. The van was resprayed and refurbished by Swan Garage just the other end of the High Street to be used as publicity for the Amusement Park. I guess the boss is a Minor enthusiast....

Seen on Sunday afternoon - a white traveller parked up near the M5 at Weston, then much much later on the M5 after we'd all been waiting for best part of 2 hours for an accident to be cleared - he came past me when the traffic started flowing again.

Seen today in Hereford - nice looking white 4 door 1000 parked up on a street corner.

Just out side of Frodsham on the way to Lady Hayes antiques centre yesterday saw a smoke grey saloon, sporting a very nice roof rack, waiting to pull out at a junction. I was in my daughters modern so was he completely unaware of my presence :)

Many Minors on display at the very large Stonham Barns Classic Car Show (near Ipswich) today. Every model was present from 1940s side valves to end of production in 1971. 2 and 4 door saloons, pick ups, vans, travelers all in wonderful condition. I was glad I was there with my MG as Tapitha would have looked scruffy compared to the pristine cars!
( I have tried to add a couple of photos but I cannot work out how to do the new way of adding photos. I can't find a brouse button!)

Very nice Maroon Traveller in Leeds City Centre this afternoon. Just had my Maroon B paint delivered, so if this is a local car it could have a twin next spring (or the spring after, or....)
