What wheels did it have? Sounds like it might be Brian...
1978 Twilight Purple Dolomite 1850HL The Lolomite.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Re: Today's Top Spot
I spotted this today, at the Winchester park and ride. I was there for the classic bus running day.
Didn't see its owner, and I don't know whether it is somebody from on here or not?

Yes ............
As unlikely as it may first appear, I have seen that 1300 too.
It was at John O'Groats during the most recent Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run.

Re: Today's Top Spot
The black car next to the Porky is a 1959 ish Rollys Royce or Bentley Continental, a very nice car based on the Silver Cloud and worth a few bob now, some go for about the 100k mark now.

Re: Today's Top Spot
Wednesdays top spot was a spotless classic Merc 280 SE from 1969 which turned up in the works car park. It must have been a visitor as nobody confessed to owning it ! I suppose seeing as how it was the 4th Jan it must also have been the Top Spot of 2012.

Parked outside the St John hall Horley on Wednesday evening when I emerged light an arm full.

Re: Today's Top Spot
It really is a wonder to me that BMC didnt survive when they were clearly capable of making customers pay a substantial
premiun for badge engineered abortions like the elf and hornet, seeing how popular they were at the time. At least the ADO16
equivalents didn't look quite so ridiculous.
Still a good spot...and I do have a soft spot for all BMC's efforts of the 50's and 60's....especially Palmers Z's and Farinas.
I think I'd still give a nice duo tone 4/72 riley or 6/110 woosel a home.

Re: Today's Top Spot
the A35, what a vehicle. My English teacher had one when i was at school in 1970, she managed to break the crankshaft somehow, her husband took it out and she brought it into school to ask the metal work teacher if he could do anything with it, bless her, she did try.
