Classic Cars

I was in Thornton-Le-Dale over the weekend. There’s a museum/car auction type place there, with a right range of classic motors, most are available at auction. I’m not bothered about the Rollers, Jags and Bentleys etc. But there was a lovely white MR2 from the 80s parked up, with flip up lights and crappy plastic switches still intact...I wanted it!

 

This one.



There’s a lovely XR3i there too..

Closest I've probably come to classic ownership was a 1977 mini 1000, drum brakes all round ,10 inch wheels and a drivers footwell like a teabag. Loved driving it but hated working on it which was a frequent occurrence like most classics/old bangers
My dad had all sorts of different cars back in t'day many of which would now be worth a fortune or be considered rare, mk2 jag, Renault dauphin, ford consul (mk1 granada shaped thing wider than a house) to name a few

 

Closest I've come to owning one is a Ford Capri back in the early 90s. To be honest, wished Id have kept it for the occasional spin out

 

I keep toying with the idea of reliving my youth and picking up a mk2 XR2 but I don't think I could devote the time.
