Came across a couple of old cars today
« on: 23 May 2017, 19:55:42 »
And they were both very tidy.  :y

Both vehicles in Whitby, Yorkshire.

For those of you too young to remember, the first one is a Carlton GSI3000 and was very clean and tidy. Wonder if it's known in the ABS circles.  :-\



We then parked up by the Quay and when we returned this was parked next to us. A Sunbeam Talbot 90 according to its bonnet badge. I was parked at the very far end of the car park and there was plenty of space but he parked right next to me, albeit quite wide.  ;D
I assume he wanted to put two quality cars together.  ::)



Both of these cars are a credit to their owners.  :y

I always loved the GSI's.

That example is a great one, and exudes exactly what was so appealing in the 1980's. :-* :-* 8)

Sunbeam talbot 90. I had one of those in dubious but running condition exactly 50 years ago this summer. Bought it for a fiver (all dubious cars were a fiver) and drove it off road for a few months before scrapping it. Quite quick in a straight line, awful brakes and it didnt go round corners period. Happy days ;D
