• Spoke briefly to the owner/driver, I asked how often he drives it and did today’s conditions put him off? He happily drives it whenever he can and isn’t unsuitable (too many passengers/dog etc).
    Love seeing classics getting used and not wrapped up and locked away out of sight.

    Love that Merc, great colour too.

  • yeah spot on about classics being used and not wrapped away. That Lotus is superb, and adds to the recent spot that @Crispin_Glover made of the Excel over in Walthamstow and the Elite I saw being parked in Hackney a couple of weeks ago.

    Got a lot of time for those Merc estates too. There is one half-abandoned near my house. Tempted to leave note under the wiper as it deserves to be saved.

  • The lotuses are parked or broken ;) I speak from bitter sweet experience from owning an éclat and elite. Both bought as needing repairs and both supposed to have been Elan's. Both need major excavations to remove the cars from the garages.

    Should have bought bq Merc, that was awesome.
