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.

- A charming pair of Gents with a Xsara that humoured Craig and I with Flat Eric.
- My Xsara in good company in the Concours with a Punto and a Visa.

Being a Spec D car, there's plenty of "character". No, don't be daft, they're not faults. There's a bump or scratch at each corner, but I've got the worst of the scratches out. The engine bay isn't perfect but it's my daily driver. All of these things tell a story, and it's all original.

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 🙂
