I’ve been waiting for a long time to photograph Waynes’ Double Cab.
Previously owned by JGE Wheels Wayne acquired it last year and has had the T2D treatment.
Finally literally the day before I go to Ireland for Xmas the van was finally ready for me and Beaker to take it into the Fens and give a good going over.
I wanted to try and get some pictures with a sunset and the forecast was promising. Also gave me a chance to try my Elinchrom Quadra lights and try not to be too reliant on HDR’s what pretty all my pics are of these days.
The 76th ESA Parabolic Flight Campaign is being held in Paderborn, Germany. This was close enough for me to drive there in Douglas!
A little drive around Tongwell Lake, Milton Keynes.

The late lamented Theatre Royal on Hawkins Street in Dublin.
Thanks to swordscookie for this information on the monument in the foreground:
"Monument to Constable Jeremiah Sheehan, 6' 4" tall of the DMP who went down into a drain at this point to rescue some council workmen who had been overcome with sewer gas and lost his own life!"
Niall McAuley contributed this brilliant link outlining the long history of the Theatre Royal "including the programme of the final show, the "Royale Finale", which was on Saturday 30th of June at 8pm, just three months after this photo."

Giving the new 12v 1600 single port a quick run around the block. The old 6 volt 30hp has been carefully stored in the garage. (Possibly the original engine as well)

The Morris Minor is a British car that made its debut at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, on 20 Sept 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, more than 1.6 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1972 in three series: the MM (1948 to 1953), the Series II (1952 to 1956), and the 1000 series (1956 to 1971). The example shown is an early Morris Minor 1000 with a split windscreen located in Sri Lanka,
Initially available as a two-door saloon and tourer (convertible), the range was expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950, a wood-framed estate car (the Traveller) from October 1953 and panel van and pick-up truck variants from May 1953. It was the first British car to sell over a million units and is considered a classic example of automotive design.
This particular example is the Morris Minor 850cc side-valve engine. The later model was the 950 cc OHV engine known as the Morris 1000.
Seen on the streets of Sri Lanka.

Meet Sergeant . . . a 1961 panel imported by it's owner Milad, from the States.
When Milad first saw it advertised online the price was $11,000 and while he was keen to buy, he had to decline because of the compliance necessary to bring it here . . . by the time he got all of that sorted and went back to the owner, the price had risen by another $4,000, to which then he said he had to go back to his wife and tell her that he needed to spend more than the original price to buy it! Add to that an additional $4,000 to get it to Australia and it was his!
The kombi was delivered as you see it here, the only modifications since, being mostly exhaust work!
I haven't seen one like it before or since! I love that it's a panel and it has a spit front windscreen and the matte army green finish is brilliant!
Milad also has a 1966 Beetle which he said he is restoring and saving for his young son!
Sergeant marks the half way mark of my project . . . 50 down . . . only 50 to go!

Most left hand drive vans came with the wing doors on the right hand side, the van this is based upon must have been a special order.

I was driving to meet a girlfriend for dinner one night after work the other week, which meant taking an alternative road to the one I would normally take home. I was almost at the restaurant when this split screen kombi, (which are fast becoming my favourite), caught my eye and making do a double take! What a beauty!
It was four lanes across on the other side of the road which would have meant turning around in the peak hour traffic and more than likely being late for dinner, which would have been very rude of me, but thankfully its daylight savings here which meant it was still light enough for me to go back and shoot it after dinner.
It was parked in front of a house, which always makes me a little hesitant especially as people often get a little suspicious when they see you lurking with a large camera, but there was no one around and so I happily took a few photos!
I love these rough and ready rusted looking VWs . . . I've heard that it's called the 'barn look' . . . as if it just came out of a barn . . . and I have also heard this look referred to as a 'rat rod' . . . not sure if that's right or not but I loved this one nonetheless and it looked wonderful in the early evening light.
Something else that caught my eye was a black bag sitting at the base of the tree beside the kombi . . . there wasn't any one around and it seemed a little odd. I wasn't brave to have a look or peek inside . . . perhaps someone had left it behind by mistake but it almost looked like it had been planted . . . who knows I took my photos and left.
I drove home very happy with my unexpected find today and although the light was fading I thought I would drive past the street where Ray keeps seeing a 68 Beetle every morning, to see if it was still there . . . it was, but you will have to wait for tomorrow to read more about that adventure!
The image on the left is part of the facade of an apartment block where the 68 Beetle resides . . . I discovered these in the same night too . . . so this pairing is pure coincidence also!
