Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[MikeInWimbledon]

I read somewhere today that the Princess was the first car where the wiper stubs were hidden by the bonnet. If true that’s a nice factoid for a Friday!

First British, or maybe European, car with hidden wipers.

Delorean’s Pontiacs had them in the late 1960’s. Presumably because they don’t have snow to block them up in the Southern US….

In passing, I parked mine next to my mate's immaculate 2010 250. It's a CGI Sport in fabulous condition, sub 40k.

No I haven't driven it, just admired the paintwork and reminded myself I need a machine machine polish....

I parked near this in Norwich lunchtime today. It was absolutely mint. A nice old gentleman driving it too, he was obviously very proud of it. That is my car to the right of the picture.

Without cheating I’d say that’s a Fiat Topolino.

Saw a 2018 plate one of these on the Finchley Road earlier today.
Complete with dog in the sidecar.

I worked for a company that used to sell these.
We called them urinals.

Hopefully the sidecar was the other side....right hand chairs are illegal in the UK.....on bikes registered after 1981 at least.
