United Kingdom 2003 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Java Black

Never had a Victor or a Sierra but I know where the other 8 went!

Had a Jubilee Marina nearly 100000 miles before I sold it on, it was comfy, huge boot and for the time an engine, stage 2 tuned, that kept up with the Cortinas and Escorts, Shame about the suspension and rust!

United Kingdom 2012 Range Rover Westminster TDV8 Orkney Grey

...always remember, that those figures, represent cars taxed and sorned. NOT old cars still in Grandad's old garage. with an old 80's tax discs showing....they do eventually pop up, and often get re-licencensed, and hence the figures go up, and down.
i have just dragged an old 1974' Audi from a garage. (almost) and im about to boost its 'howmanyleft.co.uk' numbers, from 0 to 1.
-not far from me is an old marina. all standard, and flem-green!
last week i saw an austin Montego. (gold) and an old metro. (blue) all south london.

you have to see these cars on a weekday to count as true 'headturners' otherwise, they count only as 'going-to-a-show' motoring. -and if on a trailer, should be a minus mark!

cars are now re-emerging after decades of dry garage slumber, as pre 1976 cars are now VED free. (roadtax)
good old George Osborne!

I've got a 1979 mini pick-up 95. Last year it was the only one of that particular year on the road. This years it's having a major refurbishment!

It's parts that are becoming the issue.... Someone needs to start making air suspension bits for pre- '94 cars...
I've scoured half the country for a valve block driver and still can't find one.... Regards
