Re: Spotted today.
@ Sleeper:
I'm getting the same problem with your photos from Cheshire Steam Fair, which I could view perfectly well earlier today. My Stourport photo was also there earlier. Just tried to make another post with photo and got the same results as you did.
Another attempt here with slight size reduction... ... and failure. Don't know why. I'm off to pay a visit to the 'Problems with Messageboard' thread!

Re: Spotted today.
A number of Minors today at the Somerset steam show at Langport including a lowlight and Austin vans, but I liked these two unrestored cars, a 1930s MG K1 and a Morris 8.

Re: Spotted today.
A very nice van with plenty of chrome driving along Frodsham High Street this afternoon. I think there was a car show on locally but didn't manage to get there.

Re: Spotted today.
Severn Valley Railway classic car day today.
The long-awaited rain kept some folk away. Classic cars at most stations along the line. These Minors were spotted either at Highley or Bridgnorth.

Re: Spotted today.
Also at the Severn Valley Railway today... My other guilty pleasure; BMC B-series Farina and pre-Farina cars...
The two-tone blue Riley 4/72 was a nice surprise. I used to know the car back in the early 1990s when it was owned by a chap in Northallerton. He still owns it and there he was large as life today at Bridgnorth. Sadly only time for a quick natter with him. Haven't spoken to him since 1991.

Re: Spotted today.
A couple more from the Severn Valley. They caught my eye being both the same colour and from opposite ends of their spectrum...
...and more humble Commer Cobb delivery van.

Re: Spotted today.
My final offering from the Severn Valley today and my own personal 'Car of the Day' is this absolutely mint-looking Morris Oxford Series 4 All-steel Travellers' Car (to give it it's official BMC marketing title).
It's 1958 with optional floor gearchange. Finished in Connaught Green over Snowberry White with Sage Green interior.- Attachments

Re: Spotted today.
Palacebear - That Commer Imp van is interesting. My Dad had a D Reg white one. He brought it new and put his own home built back seat it, because the van was cheaper than the estate car (Husky?) due to tax regimes, VAT, Vehicle tax etc.
But his one didn't have that odd looking pressing behind the doors...

Re: Spotted today.
GB: if you mean the curve visible in the upper rear panel I think that's the reflection of a wheel arch from the car parked next to it (a white Montego IIRC).

Re: Spotted today.
Brings back childhood memories of the 1960s. My mum didn't drive. Our neighbours (Rootes fans obviously) had a Singer Vogue, a Commer PB caravanette and an elderly Minx-based Husky which was replaced by a nearly-new Imp-based version at some point. They used to give mum and me a lift into town occasionally... me crammed in the back of the Husky sharing space with their rather malodourous Corgi!

Re: Spotted today.
Following my post above... how's this for coincidence. Sitting in the barber shop in Kidderminster waiting my turn and a C-reg Commer PB pop-top camper van (pale yellow over pale grey) has just driven past!

Re: Spotted today.
Could have been this one on it's way back from the Classic Camper Club's annual rally at Bridgnorth

Re: Spotted today.
Well done panky! That's the very one!
I saw it again a little later near the Wolverley end of the Bridgnorth Road.
