We got all sorts here- one neighbour has Austin 7 trials cars, another has some Edwardian steam power thing, another has some JDM convertible thing, guy round the corner has an Anglia van and a Mk2 Escort which is some kind of grass track or rally thing.

I see a mk1 Passat on ATS cups parks up some days. Theres a mk1 Goof sitting in a garden down the road an Austin Mini

There's also an old chap round the corner with a late 1920's Austin Seven, another with an early 50's MG Y-Type saloon and another with a selection of late 80's/early 90's modified J-Tin, a ratty Skoda pickup and a hardslammed E39 BMW.

My MK2 golf,
My Brothers Mini,
and a mate two doors down also has a MK2 golf

[Mr S]

House two doors down's 'gentleman friend' used to have a boggo basic Renault 5 and my neighbour used to have a Volvo 740 estate until it died. But now it's just me and my Chevy there are only 12 houses on my street though!

EDIT: Just remembered the dude at the end of the street with the MGB Roadster and immaculate Stag. And a modern 911 Turbo too...

[mudbitz123]

its good when you see a few retros in your street/area as you don't feel like your the only one championing the cause
when out and about its surprising whats parked up month on month turning into year on year
probably a restoration job in the thinking/ planning stage that turned to some sort of reality where money overtakes enthusiasm resulting in rusty wreck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrzee]

aside from my drive...curse word all. Everyone has moderns near me.

[hoopsontoast]

Just moved a month back, went for a walk and found a Yellow TR7. Lights up, does not look as if its moved in a year or so!

Outside the pub at the end of my road there is a 80's VW Camper with Alleycats

[jrevillug]

Not many on my street, but within a couple of minutes walk:

GMC Syclone pickup truck (modified with more power)
1200 Herald
13/60 Herald
Moggy Minor
Citroen Dyane
Mk3 Cortina (primer and guidecoat with slotmags)
Bedford CF (x2)
Merc W123
And what appears to be a re-worked Bristol 411

I suspect there are a couple of shiny classics tucked away in garages too.

[loudandproud205]

All modern commuter boxes round me joy of living on a new estate

Couple of people have ropey old cars like mk5 Fiesta, Saxo and so on but nothing that really stands out

[stefan]

We have a 70s landrover S3 SWB and a scimiter in my street

[AB car pix]

The car park outside our flat has often looked like a Retro meet!

Most of my fleet are currently out there, and my girlfriend's Mk4 Escort too. When we have house parties it's quite often got a bit nuts with the quantity of cool cars outside too ;D

[glen62]

Within a short walk from my house there is a few
Golf GTI Mk2, VW Corrado,Range Rover Classic ,
MGB and a Morris Minor .The rest are moderns

[hamps]

Guy round the corner had a mint mk4 escort ghia in tazman blue now replaced with a 2011 fiesta

Auto retro inc live a few minutes away he has a sel Merc in its balls and various other ever changing retro goodness

Few mk2 escorts up the road near me as well as a few old jags and e30's all local

[Deleted]

One of my neighbours kindly requested I don't photograph his collection, so you'll have to take my word for the fact he has:

Standard Vanguard Phase 1 - partway through being converted into pickup... and has been for a number of years.
2 proper Range Rovers
Morris Minor
Turquoise Mercedes Benz 190 (I'm no good on MB model names, I'm moderately certain it's a 190)

There's the occasional Land Rover that is on the street too, and a Tata pick-up another neighbour owns. Apart from that, most of the stuff is generic cars probably in the 10-15 year old age bracket ranging from shoddy builder spec to average, but nothing that gets me excited.

[fotorabia]

This is cheating..my former street in Whanganui NZ:
One old lady owner from new Viva HA

Vanguard 6 Vignale
4 x Bambinas..one electric..one chopped 80s conversion with RR grill
and the Vintage car club surplus collection..over 70 cars...everything u can imagine
and my two former Viva HC's!

[jabbo]

Apart from myself, there's three other retro owners in my small cul-de-sac. First guy is a VW man, he's got a camper and a bug (both '72 I think). Second guy owns a '77 Porsche 924. Last guy owns a '74 Rolls Royce and a '67 Bond Equipe.

[mudbitz123]

proving the point there is retro life out there amonst the modern tin
