A good friend is selling his restored and gorgeous Mk1 MG Metro. Not only is it nearly perfect, but it also has genuine Unipart puddle lights, electric windows, and that all-important early black interior!

If you’re interested, please do take a peek.

Alright, not everybody shares my Rover 800 fetish, but this Mk1 827SLi Fastback is proper fit. It's just a great shape, and looks well in ALL THE BROWN. Seven grand doesn't even seem obscene for a 10k-miler. WOULD.

Trying to get my head around the physics that would make this Mercury Topaz brochure 'action' shot feasible.

Rover 90 (P4) looks like it might be a delightful means of pottering between country picnics of a weekend. They sound great, too, with that 2.6-litre straight six humming.
Would also be quite cool with an RB26DETT transplant.

Birthday hat-tip to my dad, seen here circa 1990, in his Sierra Ghia, uncharacteristically without a pipe between his lips.

Yay! We can now experience some of the feeling of driving our 1995 Peugeot 306 XN without even stepping outside the house.

Until I saw it, I never imagined that a Mk2 Ford Escort Estate with this kind of patina could possibly still exist in 2024. Astounding.

I wonder if they kept their allegiance, changed brands later, or whether that's coincidentally their actual surname.

Walked past this bespoilered Corolla for several days before I grew tired of it nagging me to Tweet about it.

This scornful grin was deliberately calculated by Sir Norm to remind you 'you're not on holiday any more, matey boy'

Suitably healthy Volvo quota in Stockholm, but not all that many older crates in the centre of town. Still; sharp edges of the 740GL look all the better these days.

A Saab 9-5 Aero wagon with a roof box makes a fine family lifestyle machine; plenty of Swedes still seem to think so.
