What has the PP cam of dash picked up today?

A somewhat more productive drive today

And while the MGB was coming the other way, I was behind these two

If anyone is from Northfleet and was around in the 70s, then they may remember these. SMA8, a London Country 1972 AEC Swift. Still getting out and about in preservation.

Slightly more modern flavour with this 1989 Escort Mk4. According to the DVLA it's a 1300 so has been made to look like it's packing something more beefier!

Not far behind the Escort was this 1977 Chevy.


And, remember the two geriatrics I was behind earlier?

Well, they went off in a different direction to me, only to come back the other way later! Unfortunately the shadows in this area affected the focusing a bit, but as a quiz throw-out, anyone want to identify this?

And this?


I have looked them up on the DVLA, so I do know what they are (assuming the DVLA is correct!), but who can ID them?

The bottom two are a Triumph 1800 roadster and a Sunbeam Talbot 90, both late 40s/early 50s

I get the feeling there was no hesitation with that response Cartman!

According to the DVLA they are a 1949 Triumph 20TR (the open one) and a 1951 Sunbeam Sports Saloon (closed one).

Dunno if they're the same as what you've said in a different form, or if there are subtle differences, but I would say pretty much spot on 

No prize I'm afraid. But it's the taking part what matters!

[D.C. Burtonshaw]

They look interesting PP! The Jaguar XJS looks like it has the TWR kit, popular then. The nicely preserved AEC Swift bus has Alexander bodywork by the former Walter Alexander Coachbuilders of Falkirk Scotland who were around from 1913 to 2000 by which time they were bought by the Mayflower Corporation plc and nowadays are part of Alexander Dennis of Larbert Scotland.

The Bergerac (there I've said it!) Triumph Roadster and Sunbeam Talbot are lovely sights!

What a great thread 👍

[Perfect Pseudonym]

Absolutely Gerry. The bus was the highlight for me of the spots. Makes a change from the usual Routemasters and RTs that run along that road in conjunction with the Epping Ongar Railway. I don't know if the Swift was connected with that or mere coincidence, but was a great sight.

Many thanks Albert. It's going to be an inconsistent thread, and probably more so as we head to winter and the enthusiasts put their old girls away till the next Spring/Summer, but hoping that things will still pop up.

From yesterday, but didn't get round to uploading the dash cam footage..

1988 Volvo 340


Also from yesterday...

1996 BMW 840. Not entirely sure if these are anything special, but I don't see many about


And these two from earlier today...

Quiz time. Any takers? I do know what it is, but only after trying various permutations as the first letter was obscured on the plate throughout its sighting!

And this was on its way down south on the M25. Couldn't make out the reg number, but I think this might be a Vauxhall Victor F estate?

[Cartman]

The bottom one is an F type Victor, don't know what the open tourer is, Humber? Armstrong Siddeley?

Looks like we've found your cut-off point, Cartman!

No, neither of those I'm afraid. (As long as the DVLA isn't lying to me!)

I'll reveal all tomorrow.

Early 50s to early 80s on cars I'm ok on
