N10 Datsun Cherry at a local car show - Lizard Point car show.

Yes, that is a Crayford Allegro next to it, and it's also owned by Richie who seems to own Cornwall's entire population of Datsuns. More on the Allegro in another post.

A dear friend of mine (and Craig Cheetham) has teamed up with Tom Barnard and Mike Askew to bring you a new podcast talking about normal, forgettable everyday cars from the 1990s and early 2000s. Expect tales from the industry and from when they were all working for Auto Express. Links in the reply.

British Leyland Filth from #fotu2025. I love an Allegro, especially an Allegro 3. The sheer desperation of trying to make it modern I find so appealing.
1981 Austin Allegro 3 1.3 L
1977 Austin Allegro 1300.

- Mates and Unexceptional Motors
- Some lovely people in Citroën Xantias who invited me to park the Xsara alongside them.
- A pair of right F-ing CVHs modelling for Festival of The Undressable in the middle of recording their brilliant podcast of absolute bobbins. Must be TIME FOR A SERVICE!

Also, kudos to whoever turned up at Goodwood Festival of Speed in a really tidy Fiat Ulysse.

Been prepping this for the Concours de L’Ordinaire at this year's Festival of the Unexceptional. Typically, the machine polisher broke half way through and it started raining whilst trying to treat the bumper plastics. Hey ho.

Said goodbye to this old timer over the weekend after 7 and a half years of ownership. It was a hard decision to make but one that needed making. It was too far gone for me to do, but from what I can gather it is getting done up by the next owner 🙂
