Notting Hill, London
« on: May 03, 2014, 18:33:03 »
I was out and about all over London today and met not only a current owner who flagged me down from his moped, a past owner who told me of the 230 he bought in 1964 for £2200 but also this 280 parked up. Pulled over for a look and took a snap

Jag was very cool also, like something from Lock Stock and two smoking barrels and other London gangster films.

How did you manage to get my wife to park your car? She told me she was out with friends all day here in Germany! ;D

Good eye James, I was wondering why the second Pagoda back was, how shall I type, parked creatively....

looks like both owners prefer the reassuring cosiness of HT, despite clement skies

Indeed, my parking (or abandoning) did leave a lot to be desired! Just pulled over when I saw the other one. And as I type this a black RHD280 just passed me as I sit parked up in Mayfair, but no acknowledgement from the driver?!

HT still on as my wife can't help me lift it off.

Still there! .... couldn't help stopping to get yet another picture  ;) They chatted as if they hadn't seen each other in nearly 50 years  :D.

Keep posting  ;)
