Default Out and about today again

Been out today again and look what I have found Sorry but I had to stalk him as my 1st new car ever was 1 of these 1.6L coudn't afford to get a bigger engine size at the time(have a soft spot for the ole tina's ) This was a 2 owner car with original 8,500 milage on the clock with even the plastic from the factory covering the seats Paintwork totally untouched, looked stunning to be fair Owner told me there are only 650 roadworthy tina's left on the road










I also spotted a gayboys (quattrokid ) convertable as well but piccie isn't good

Ah didn't the country have a cold snap of three days back then ??
