Interesting that.
I thought it a bit strange when I saw the Austin badge, as the Clubman was produced after the demise of Austin/Morris.
Must have had a transplant some time.

Been looking for the mint Mini Moke I saw at Weston Park earlier this year, just to get Apey C drooling. Drool:
Not seen it since, but will get a piccie as soon as it makes a re-appearence. :thumbsup:

Meanwhile, another beaut' from last Sunday....... cloud9:
Lotus Cortina Mk2





Going back to the sylist that designed the Clubman, you can actually see the strong resembalance between this and the and the Clubman ey? rubschin:

All piccies taken with the Lumix camera that Miss D recommended to me 10 months ago....tar. :thumbsup:
Starting to get the hang of it now, and generally quite happy with the piccies it's taking.

That triggered a half memory from 1975. I was an apprentice and all of a sudden one day the ganger was jumping up and down like an excited kid. "Look at that, look at that, it's George Cohen's old car", and he went on to tell me story how each player was given a car by Ford. I've never forgot that day, and through the wonders of t'internet, it's confirmed it did happen here Half thought I'd imagined that story  confused:

I shall get some 'snaps' the next time I come across any at the shows. :thumbsup:

Meanwhile, I had one of these back in 1981.
Twin cam 2.0 GT, fitted with a limmy slip as standard. cloud9:

Same colour, but not with those stoopid Supra alloys. They look SO wrong on that car.

Mine had steels with stainless steel embelishers.

It drove like HOT snot, and had a white interior.
