There was a smart looking red estate in a car park in Bodmin on Monday. There do seem to be a few of them in this part of the country, and mostly quite well cared-for too

Travelled from West Cork to London via hollyhead on tuesday, while queuing to get through the M6 toll bridge, I saw a K reg, red 245 estate.

Any one on here?

Spotted on Wednesday evening,what looked to be a very clean white Torslanda queued up heading into Mousehole,Cornwall.
I think the reg no. was K622 SJE from (admittedly poor!) memory.
Nice car.

If you'd seen it a day earlier it would have been a muddy brown Torslanda! There was quite a queue but the Mousehole lights were lovely, and worth the wait, always a good atmosphere down there at this time of year.

Thanks for the compliment, we're stupidly proud of our Torsy!

This one was stuck in the south-bound queue on the M6, just north of J22 on Boxing Day at 1:30pm. As I was north-bound, en route to my place of employment at the time I couldn't get any more details.

Two more spotted in Brighton...A lovely Blue saloon GL D reg I think pulling a small trailer very well cared for but still working hard, and a this blue estate obviously a workhorse hack...
Will get a pic of the saloon later as its a permanent fixture in the area now must have been recently purchased.

Bit of a 'cheat' this one as not 'spotted in the flesh' though I have (sadly) seen quite a few area cars in this shape:

This one was posted on a "retired plods' page I am registered on and thought it worthy of a 'share' on this thread, hope tis okay....

Parked in Waitrose's car-park in Sandbach yesterday afternoon was a white "E-plate" 245GL.

Christmas Eve - Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.

Spotted a 262C parked up on the road. Bit later saw it drive past.

Really nice car, and as far as I know very rare aswell!!
