Needs a little tlc but just brilliant that someone is clearly caring for that dear old thing.

We had the Hillman Super Minx version when I was a small kid. The Humber is a little more up-market.

After not noticing any for countless years, I saw two Porsche 928s this week.
I used to love its distinct looks as a teenager in the 80’s, but somewhat less so now. Certainly quite different from the rest of their line up. Almost as if Porsche had invited Citroen’s designers to do a model for them for the lulz.

They were, in their time, a great and underrated car.

The fattest fat coupe, or rather a luxury sedan with two doors. Not to say it wasn't good or appealing, but it wore a sports car suit and struggled to fit in it. The 944 was a much better driver's car.

At the end of the day, they are just a Porsche

I quite like them and I'd have one before I had a 911 of the same era. I know somebody who has a minty 1981 white 928S with the fabulous 'Pascha' B&W cloth interior but he won't sell it to me.
It's interesting how Mercedes took the basic concept (V8 2+2 with transaxle) and brought it to its fullest flowering with the 1st gen AMG GT.

Parked up at the local Model Engineering club’s miniature railway yesterday (presumably belonging to a club member as it wasn’t a running day) was this well-loved Triumph Vitesse. The white colour was bright enough to hurt my eyes in the autumn sunshine, the thing was glowing!

They're a very pretty car, especially with the roof off/down. If I've ever got yhe spare money I'll get one for my (not yet started) collection.

Clams on the half shell, and roller skates.
A Singer Vogue! I don't remember having seen these back in the day.

The owner probably realised that it would be quicker and less hassle to walk to Brighton.
I'll probably never own another Jaguar but if I do, it would be a 91-96 4.0 manual XJS convertible.

With that amount of power, I wasn't surprised to see it come past me quite early in the morning.Over 100 years old, 9.5 l engine and capable of 80+ wow. Won't talk about the 12 million or so it cost.

$12 million (US) is a staggering amount of money to pay for a veteran car, even with the provenance that it has.

It isn't the only car on the run which has been owned by a single family for a long time. One that springs to mind is the 1902 Dennis. The name is more well-known as a bus and fire engine builder but they built a few cars in the early days.
The Dennis family built it in 1902 and they still own it and John Dennis entered it this year.
Here he is driving it on the 2017 Run

Why is the 3.6 better than the 4.0? I've driven a 3.6 manual and liked it.

The 3.6 just felt a much sportier car, revvier, more nimble and an all round nicer car. Mine was an automatic. Looked nicer too.
The 4.0 just felt bloated, dull to drive, handled badly and had the whiff of the golf club about it. An old man's car.
Purely a personal view.
