It was going past too quickly behind parked cars and bushes (not to mention at that point I didn't have my phone) but I saw a burgundy TR4 yesterday, being driven spiritedly.
It made me think.
Little British cars here often get a fair bit of attention (despite having originally been sold here) and get used in anger, not just pulled out of the garage for 15 miles every July.
I wonder why

If the steam rally I sauntered round today is anything to go by I should imagine it be because most owners here seem to be arthritic. By the time they have done their 15 miles they have to spend the rest of the day in a lawn chair.....

Wasn't that place mentioned in a Madness song?

Nearly....Primrose Hill. Mind you it also mentioned a GPO Morris built on the Tyne. In 1959. So they may have meant Muswell Hill.....

Well I googled, he bought it on Primrose hill & drove it to Muswell Hill.
I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar
I bought it in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil
It was made in fifty-nine in a factory by the Tyne
It says Morris on the door, the G.P.O. owned it before
I drive in it for my job, the governor calls me a slob
But I don't really care, give me some gas and the open air
It's a bit old but it's mine, I mend it in my spare time
Just last week I changed the oil, the rocker valves and the coil
Just last week I changed the oil
Last week it went round the clock, I also had a little knock
I dented somebody's fender, he learnt not to park on a bender, ha ha ha
I've been driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far
I drive up to Muswell Hill, I've even been to Selsey Bill
I drove along the A45, I had her up to 58
This copper stopped me the other day, you're mistaken what could I say
The tyres were a little worn, they were O.K., I could have sworn
I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far
I like driving in my car, it don't look much but I've been far
I like driving in my car, even with a flat tyre
I like driving in my car, it's not quite a Jaguar
I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far
