Spotted this thing today at a car show. The LHD jars a little but otherwise it is pure Onslow....

I had forgotten about the Pennant. Lovely things, by far the best of the little Standards. Mate had one back in the day and despite an unfortunate shade of dog-dick pink it provided many memorable jaunts....

Those bumpers look nice, thou...

Strange how at home that P38 looks in a field of scrapped, older cars. As said, though, some of that VW trim will have survived and be valuable - the only things that can destroy some T2 and Beetle interior parts are Dubbers. Really do like pics like this, more so than car show ones!
