This charming little Autobianchi Bianchina was first registered in 1965 and is a remarkably original survivor. It was previously displayed in the Fiat 500 Museum in Garlenda, the town on the Italian Riviera that is home to the Fiat 500 Club Italia, and since being imported to the UK it has been carefully maintained and enjoyed by its most recent custodians.
Seen at the Classic Motor Hub, JGU 390C has an engine rebuilt to 540cc. Bianchi sold its stake in Autobianchi to Fiat in 1968, and Bianchina production ended the following year – although the high-roof Furgonetta van lasted until 1977.
From the same location as the Maxi. Amazing to see something like this end up here now, whereas a few years back it was commonplace.

Stockwell’s WHV99 spotted on the 337 heading Richmond bound, it’s seen here along Wandsworth Common. These Gemini 3s have made common appearances on the route once it transferred back to Stockwell, with WHV156-157 briefly allocated before being replaced by EH14 and EH15. But with the contract passing to Transport UK on 24/05/25, the days of B5LHs on the 337 will now become a thing of the past.
Mainzer Mobilitaet 273, one of 6 1984 built M8C trams arrives at the Kisselberg halt on the campus of Johannes Guttenburg Universitaet (JGU). Though the Mainz tramway dates back 1884 this area was nothing more than a field when the 273 was built 100 years later. In 2016 Mainz completed a 9.2 km extension, known as the Mainzelbahn which connected the University and northern suburbs with the city center. This expansion and subsequent increased services has necessitated keeping these modern classics in service for the time being. Due to corona, school holidays and massive amounts of summer construction work the M8Cs were out of service for months but have once again returned. 273 is a bit of a celebrity and is the last wagon wearing the classic Mainz paint scheme.

Introduced two years after the Roadster and with a smaller more rounded cockpit than the XK140. Available from 1952 with a special equipment package, high lift cams, lightened flywheel, twin exhausts, centre lock wire wheels and an output raised from 160 to 180bhp. Still with drum brakes
The XK120 was ultimately available in three versions or body styles, first as an open 2-seater (or Roadster in the USA), the Fixed Head Coupe arriving in 1951 and from 1953 the Drop Head Coupe
Many thanks for a fantabulous
