Been slacking on the spotting recently. Not one Corsa A in Paris...
So here's a cheeky little one I spotted this morning near Tunbridge wells.

Yes it is Onslow's Cortina. Its in the garden of the guy who rented it to the production team for use on the program.
It is still there to my knowledge, with trees growing through it as that photo is probably 10years old or more.
They say the spark plug is still in place in the exhaust backbox to backfire on demand. There was a mk1 Transit recovery truck in an episode too and that is/was owned by the same person.
The cortina onslow used has recently been crushed. There's a facebook page'classic car scrapyard finds' and it's shows it on the back of a transporter on it's way to be crushed.
Think he was taking it to have the exhaust sorted.
Spotted this minter at a local vintage gathering last week low miles original ni car
Also my corolla in the carparkcan't help taking pics in the good weather

Not Nova's but pretty cool all he same...
And how the other half live...
And how cool is this to have on the back of your luxury yacht. I fancy doing the same with my Spider.
There was a few million quid floating around the Marina. There was a UK registered AMG Merc(111E I think the reg was) and a Dubai registered Lambo amongst the multi million pound boats
