Caught without my camera today, and my cell phone (not a smart phone) takes horrible pictures. I spotted a spectacular AMC Jeep model called a Honcho, from circa 1976. Jeeps from this era generally look like a candidate for the wrecking yard. But this one was, well, spectacular. I took this shot with my crappy flip phone, dashed home to get my camera, but when I returned to where I spotted it, the Jeep had departed. With a bit of photo editing, this is the best I could do.

Developed some film after walking around my neighborhood with my camera. I was in love with the design and will for ever love the styling of old cars.

From a different roll of film when I was in Yosemite

And yet another roll of film when in Joshua Tree

I guess an FYI, I don’t own any digital cameras outside of my cell phone. So, from another roll of film

One of these Reliant SS1 half under a cover and looking as if it hadn't moved for a while.

Mr. Bean’s favourite car, the Reliant Robin! Ah yes! I realize this subject car is not the Robin model.

And even weirder: the Bond Bug (Bond were part of Reliant and this was made by Reliant). It is rumoured that Colin Chapman borrowed one to try it out and rolled it the first corner he came to.

A mixed bunch today,

Each time I took this road, I asked myself: why? 🤦

Spotted this morning outside a scrapyard in South London. The final fare has been taken....I felt a little sad about it. Imagining it in its heyday weaving in and out of traffic...briefcased baring businessmen climbing in and out...glamorous women clambering in after nights out in West end nightclubs..

Check out the Rare Classic Cars channel on YouTube. Adam Wadecki has an amazing collection of mid-60s to late-70s land yachts (some Park Lanes like the one you showed) plus a few other things thrown in for fun, like a 1984 Oldsmobile Omega!

I’d trade one/some of my watches for his 1972 Imperial with 12K miles. 🥰🥰
