Thanks for sharing this. A40s are rarely seen out and about on weekdays as daily drivers so well done for spotting that one!

It's very rare to see a classic car on the road at any time these days, except for sunny weekends, so yes, always a joy to see one, especially if it's an A40!

i watch the repeats of Heartbeat weekday's on ITV 3,sad i know :lol: ,but i love seeing the old cars etc in action.this week,there was a grey A40,reg. EYA 846C,that was in a guy's garage and Greengrass was employed to build a driveway for it.eventually the A40 was driven out through the wet concrete :shock: . anyway,i've checked it out on the DVLA website,and the car is on SORN,but now registered as colour red!
as you can probably tell,i'm a mine of useless information :D
