A long time since I last went by here, but I always remember seeing old cars in this location. In the mid 90's I think there was an Imp here, then later on it was joined by an early Metro. By the late 90's it was the Metro and Austin 1100/1300. The 1100/1300 gave way to a Triumph Herald in the more recent past. Now there appears to be this rather nice Imp and a 90's Civic in place of the Metro (according to Streetview). One of the best colours for these I think.
Looks to have just recently gone around the clock according to the MOT check.

Mum & Dad 'posed' for a shot including my Imp at Milford whilst on holiday nearby. Virtually all of my slides showing my 1967 car are rear views, showing off the severe raked rear window. This feature seemed to create interest - as, for example this week on hol. in Dorset - where the French driver of a Renault drawing abreast of me at traffic lights engaged me in a brief conversation about my car. Photographed 19th.June 1969.
