Here's a few more (mostly from 1986 but some from 84) Dirty looking Mk1 Capri on Slotmags. Would love this now! 70s Camaro. From what I remember it sounded lovely. Mk2 Capri in dire need of welding. Mk1 Capri with standard customising from that era i.e big arches, airdam, bonnet clips, lots of filler and obviously waiting for the wide wheels. Not sure if it was abandoned or not. 2000E Auto, obviously just had the front wheel painted. Almost new Saab 9000 in 1986 with a Sunbeam behind it. Grotty looking Maxi on the left. Montego Estate. Can't be many of these left now. Mk3 Escort and one of those Transit based kits to look like a 20s truck. Lovely Audi Coupe. Mazda estate with boating equipment. Lancia Beta with what appears to be no rust. I wonder if it was a) rusty underneath and b) how long it lasted? Someone got a bit fed up with their (or someone else's) Allegro. Front tyre's been slashed...

Glad I've recently bought one myself finally this year too. If you ever got the 66 bus from East Kilbride into Glasgow City centre in the 90's I bet you remember a car lot at Eglinton Toll that always had about 20 Mk2 Granadas starting at £95 each. I always had the great idea that I would get my student loan and buy one but I ended up getting a Beetle instead. As I am talking about 1990's Glasgow, have a look at this album on Flickr for loads of '90's street scene pictures; flic.kr/s/aHsjrTRCRDDave.

Sounds like heaven! (Don't think I ever did actually get a bus that way into town come to think of it).

It's time for a little bit of a thread revival! Found a few more B&W pics so have tidied them up and put them onto Imgur to show you all! 2CV I saw on the French Exchange trip back in 1989. Must've belonged to an art student I guess... My friend's fist car in 1990. An 1100cc Austin Allegro in Sandglow. Fantastic condition and cheap too. I was not a fan... I went to stay with friends in Summer 1990 - this is him & his dad coming to pick me up from the station in "Bar Steward", their series 3 Landie. ...so being teenagers and under age/not yet passed tests, we ragged it up and down his parents' driveway, Roger executing a handbrake turn here. Back in Clacton in the mid-80s, the local Bus Company bought a shedload of Mercedes 308s and ran them around all the small routes. They were painted yellow. My Art teacher's Honda Accord from about 1986 Rare Volvo 780 in Rennes (I think) in 1989. Wedding strips on an XR3i convertible in Dorking, June 1990. Also an E30 Beemer, Rover 200/400, Maestro sticking its nose out, possibly a 70s Toyota, another Escort and a late model Marina. The Lord Mayor's Rolls Royce. Wonder what it's worth??? 190E with big wheels Rear end of an Esprit tucked away down a driveway Lightweight Landie used by the Army Cadets at school (and judging by the numberplate, owned by the army) Escort Mk1 in beautiful condition back in '86. Wonder if it still exists? Talking of Escorts, here's a Mk2 Estate with the usual 4-star dribble stain below the fuel filler. Forgot how much of a well-proportioned little car it is. And a Mk3 cabrio with bodykit. 80s-tastic! Mk2 Cavalier including obligatory white wheel trims Garage scene in Pulborough, West Sussex, summer 1990. Can we have fuel that price now please? And finally, a genuine Sinclair C5 on the road in July 1986. Must have been blinking terrifying!

Here's some more A real treat from 1986 - a genuine Renault 5 Turbo. Volvo 480 ES in the local car park. Nice looking wedge, but looking like it needed a polish. This one taken in 1990. 4x4 Transit from 1987. M23 I think... Royale Coupe from 86. Such a nice shape. Gorgeous 944 S2 which was owned by the bloke who ran the local DIY Store. Lovely bloke, lovely car. Outside one of Clacton's guesthouses in 1986. Mk3 Escort & Fiat 131 in the background. 911 in Dorking, 1987. Also in Dorking from the same film, a gnarly looking Hilux. 928, also Dorking. Love the Strada in the background and the various vehicles in the nearby car park. Shiny Moggie Minor in Clacton, 1990. Modified Sunbeam in Clacton. And finally, what looks like an abandoned Mk3 Zodiac back in 1990.

Also in Dorking from the same film, a gnarly looking Hilux. Probably just returned from the green lanes there, shame it's not in colour though
