Apologies for yet another Transit but many are hand painted in this fetching shade of blue. They are as common here as I recall them being in London in the 80's

I only took one car pic on my hols as it would have been frowned upon by management , with consequential sanctions.

The mates I am with don't seem to like cars and vans of 50 years ago and think it's odd that I do.

Could it be that they are Czech and Polish, so only have FSO's and Skoda Estelles to remember?

I used to work with a chap who simply couldn't comprehend what I could find so interesting about old cars. I was equally unable to fathom his fascination with watching eleven overpaid rapists and manbabies but was too polite to mention it.
Some spots from a lovely weekend in Moray.

This was almost mint,but the registration suggests it didn't always live in Scotland. Twenty years ago I wouldn't have given it the time of day,now I'd quite happily drive it.

I started thinking, hang on the vans were more van-ish. But I'd forgotten that name too.
