I've been working from home lately, so not many excuses to go out, but I still see interesting things sometimes.

A while back, our local trash service started using an electric BYD truck to collect our recycling, which I thought was neat.

Today they came around in something I didn't even know existed: a Battle.

Battle Motors is the new name (since 2021) of what used to be CCC. They make diesel, CNG, and electric trucks. The one on my street was diesel, but sounded almost as quiet as an electric.

Some pictures found on my old phone, taken back in 2012. Couldn't find anything about the 604, the Ascona has been scrapped, but the Camry is still alive and kicking:

Very nice spots :smile: I love seeing older sightings pics :grin:

What is this licence plate on the 604?
30/05/2025 @ 00:10:45: Lateef: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
I believe those are 1994-2013 Dutch export plates, hence the NL sticker.

Thanks.

At a British car meet this weekend, some of the rare cars there (for this side of the Atlantic anyway):
- 1959 Riley One-Point-Five LHD:
- Morris 6cwt Pickup LHD:
- Morris Minor 1000 RHD that was for sale, but I didn't get the year:
- If you want to see the rest ....


- LHD Riley 1.5s very unusual - they didn't export many anywhere. It's Mk1 for external boot.bonnet hinges. Unusual colour - I don't think original, but not definite.
- 1957 Morris ¼-Ton O-Type Pick-up - a few migrated to US, but penny numbers although we've 5 on the database. The 6cwt (62+, 1198cc) didn't make the journey as far as I know.
- the blue Minor
We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided
MORRIS MINOR 1000 1970
Registration number: CPE 327H
Body type: Saloon
Colour: Blue
Date of first registration: June 1970
Exported 1 May 2008
- the others in your album - pretty much what I'd expect from the event title. The only odd thing was the lime green Mini with stripes and logo as if a special edition, but it's not one I recognise, and with LHD might have been something for Europe such as Mini 1000 E. Otherwise looks like a boggo Mini 1000 (although twin fillers an owner tweak), Oct 84 12" wheels and arches but not Sept 85 side indicators.
