I spotted these two all the way over in Nassau, The Bahamas.







The dark blue one was rather suffering from sunstroke!

Sad, but a captured a red 245 on a flatbed with a number painted on the side going through Bournemouth at 0630 this morning. Caved in boot and front wing.

Later a sand coloured 245 in Blandford, looked in good condition but did not wave.

Saw that sandy 245 up in Salisbury, passed another 240 estate which is in blue that resides in my village. It's more green than a boat underneath though..

Blue C-reg estate parked on Brandling Park in Newcastle last night, about 6. Totally by coincidence today is the one day this year I've driven to work and I've parked in the same place.

Just caught a quick glimpse yesterday of a silver 240 estate (GLT?) parked at Sweetshouse, on the road between Bodmin and Fowey.

Saw it again a couple of days ago, it is a GLT, and looks to be everyday transport, good to see these old cars in daily use.

There is a red GL saloon in Bangor (NI) a right few times, usually around the RNLI station or close. In regular use and in very good nick.

Two days ago I saw a maroon saloon, DL I think, up beside Screwfix as well. First time I've seen this one though.

Actually spotted on 23-11-14 in Lidl's car park, Ferndown, Dorset, but only just remembered when I transferred some pictures off my phone this evening! Sorry!

I saw 2 within 10 minutes this afternoon!
Firstly I saw a G-reg (G889ALK I think) red estate with roofrack in Poole, Dorset and it certainly earns its keep looking at it. No picture though, sorry.

Next I saw this stunning GLT estate in West Moors, Dorset and had to turn around and stop and take pictures. (sorry about the quality, taken on my old phone!).
Its not one I have seen around here before but look forward to seeing again.
