Customised Volvo PV444 from the early 1950's. If it had a single, rather than two, pane windscreen it might have been a PV544.

Here's the Volvo Press Centre write up of it:

VOLVO PV444 (1946-1958)

There seem to be lots of old Volvos round my way, I see 4-5 around regularly. It's amazing how many have survived.

And a neighbour has bought this, complete with big block engine and 'patina' (or maybe it had an engine fire, I don't like to ask...).

A beautifully restored Datsun 300ZX queuing for petrol... must be a strange feeling for the two Kuwaiti blokes sat in it

I've seen this around the local area recently - a beautifully-restored 380. Spotted it parked yesterday. The paint is insanely good.

And that's a rare 120 "Amazon" estate.

There used to be a Amazon specialist on the Upper Richmond Road in Putney. He'd have a dozen of them lined by the railway track.

Not keen on the billet rims, but I've always thought that iteration of the Z was a stunning looking piece of kit

Interesting parking for such a cherished car

I presume the driver wanted to keep the offside away from passing traffic.

Saw this at a local car meet on Sunday.

^^ Blimey, that's some carpark! I'd happily have any of them apart from the Bentley lump thing. Out of interest, where were the snaps taken?

That green Fezza is a colour that you would think wouldn’t suit it but imho it looks great
