A40 spotted today..

[sid]

in Cambridge! was in a lay by in my lorry and a nice Horizon blue/black roof motor whizzed by..brightened my day anyway

[Keith Bennett]

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!

Lovely to see. It's rare they are out and about. Mine sure is about on a regular basis!

i watch the repeats of Heartbeat weekday's on ITV 3,sad i know ,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 . 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

ALERT! Tomorrow evening at 7pm on Yesterday channel (Freeview 27, Freesat 159, Sky 155, Virgin 129) on Bangers and Cash, some of the vehicles that were used in Heartbeat will be auctioned.

i watched B&C this week Keith,last of the series i believe,and a Horizon/Black 1 owner from new A40 sold to Scotland for £3,500..but it did need a bit of work.
