When was the last time you saw one of these?

Some cars used to be everywhere! So when they become rare, I get quite nostalgic when I see these and sometimes I take pictures.

This car must have been a British Telecom car. I had to explain to my friends why I needed to take this picture.

Please share your sightings of cars that were once "Ten a Penny" here!

No pictures but there is a MK1 Escort in Orange that I see a lot around the area. There is also a Talbot Horizon in Beige and MK2 Astra GTE in Red. I think they are all used frequently as I see them in all weathers.

Up until recently there was a Triumph 2500 Estate that I would see on the A40 every day, I have not seen it this year so far.

It makes a lot of sense running some of these old cars, free road tax on some and so easy to repair with often very cheap parts as long as the rust can be kept away. The best bit a lot of them are increasing in value.
