Spotted turning onto Royal pde in Parkville- a Lotus Esprit. Silver paint and looking suspiciously new, possible rebuild.

The 1.8 Pulsar manual was a nice car. Holden re-badged it as the Astra plus there was the HSV version. I can't remember how HSV modified the car. The Pulsar Hatch was one of the sportier looking Japanese hatches in its time. |

Tweaked Morgan Plus 8 in Epping the other day; seemed to be EFI with auto and ignition cut on upshifts. Very surprising to observe something that sounded more like a Trackhawk but wrapped in a Morgan body.
“Shed find” brown XA sedan in a Cambewarra Rd driveway near the Bomaderry Woolies/KFC complex on Wednesday last. Bronzy-gold TR3A (I think) driving in Hunter Lane, Hornsby on Thursday. Friday an absolute gem driving on Linda St Hornsby, Mk1 Esky panel van in full “lad van” trim - heavy rake, white with wide blue double side stripes, roof spoiler and I think also a pop-up sunroof. Mint condition, younger driver. I would put quids on I having black or blue shag trim in the rear. |

Heard it before I spotted it, a manual T3 TS50 in signature Blueprint paint. The driver wasn't gunning it, but I can tell that distinctive Windsor warble with my eyes closed. It's been a very long time since I spotted a T-Series in the wild, a true delight to see.
It's also been a while since I have seen a MG TF, this one in canary yellow. Dreadful car, even if it was a mid-engine.

Someone asked the other day, why is it you don't see many older fords on the road? This might have something to do with it.
This thread along with all the others I follow have gone really quiet. I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms. One Man

Have been busy.. last week I clocked up 55 hours in 5 days.. so didn't get a chance to make all the interstate "viewers" jealous of the classic daily rides we have here in Adelaide.

Another bonus point for managing to take 5 photos in Adelaide and only capturing roadworks in one of them.

Who said $ydney didn't have old cars getting around.
Paddo, the 5 ways this morn, perfect stark white XF panno on full rego. (no it wasn't mine) Late 60's White Ford Galaxy ute parked in Ultimo, and a very original condition 450 SEL Merc sitting pretty in Roseville yesterday.

Can't say I've seen one of these before.. looks pretty sweet, the no scaff tag on the tray which is a breach!
Tidy Laser from the other week.. my wife had one many years ago while we were dating, some found memories of that car

My older son just bought a Laser Sedan.
I only saw it in the dark on the road - looked fairly neat, interior already full of his crap :-) I asked, What made him look at a Laser? His reply, What's reliable for $3k? (I pointed at our AU) |

It's why, over a period, we owned 4 AUs, and on a couple of occasions I almost bought another.
(Sadly, reliability doesn't extend to contact with trees and other vehicles.) My last one, sat in the yard for years. When I finally decided to get rid of it, connected the battery, started first time, and away she went. If "Mad Max" ever comes to pass, they'll all be driving AU's. Just imagine what could have been if Ford didn't make them so ugly.
