So this is it, my best spot of 2015 so far. Another I'd had on 'my list' for a while, it was just a case of finding the time to go and take the photos really. In a right old sorry state, the house had a sort of faded glory look to it too, my assumption is that the owner is an enthusiast who has been unable to do anything for a while. As ever, the (large) garage behind may be home to some even more fascinating treasures.
On SORN with no MOT details available.
GF- SW London.
Looking nice and original bar the modern numberplate, but a surprise to see one without the standard black and white copy! I loved the yellow colour of this- very typical of the period. Outside a nice Victorian warehouse complex.
The Westman Islands archipelago enjoys stillness after the catastrophic eruption in 1973 that buried the city under tons and tons of ashes, just like Pompeii of old. All inhabitants (some 5,200) were able to escape in the fishing fleet. 4,000 of them were evacuated the same night the eruption started.
It's 40 years ago now.

Originally a slide- this is near the rural town of St. George, West Virginia, where my grandfather was born in 1881. I thought it looked like a good spot for the credits for a film- not that I am a cinematographer, or anything.
Not a huge amount of old BMWs about but I saw a real beauty later on in the holiday.
This one had a nice bit of patina on it, although that looked slightly odd with the occasional shiny bits of chrome on it too. Good to see those amazing alloys still in place.
Finally got around to snapping this, seen before on Flickr, its last MOT expired as recently at Sep 2019, now SORN.
Photo taken in a part of Gothenburg called Annedal - in 1973.

A very familiar car, and nice to see it at last. I completely forgot to have a look inside, hopefully I'll get another chance to see it in the future.
Also, good to see you again Nigel.
