[This thread previously achieved 52 pages ]Since Google Streetview went online, it's become possible to spot some interesting old motors from the comfort of your own home... Are there any classics near where you are, or have you seen anything interesting while snooping, sorry, exploring your local habitat? Or how about further afield? [Please remove addresses from posts if possible, etc]Some cars from my neck of the woods : Further afield: Stripey Ital Spot! Stamford Bridge on the B4203

(!) Not there now, I sold it in 2011 (presumably that's when the SORN stopped, hence the "odd" dates for lack of tax and MoT) but it still exists in the DVLA system.

Lovely! The red car is a Singer 1500 roadster I believe, still made in the early 50's. The black Simca is a Versailles I believe, the Aronde was smaller.

Cool! The upper pictures, the car with the twin headlamps is a late 60's Toyota Crown with a F11 Datsun 100A 4 door saloon below that. Cool Morris LD Ice cream van! The truck with a cover over the cab is probably an old Bedford J type, a few about, when I visited Malta in 2002.
