1300 estate spotted in Gloucester

Post by PHUQ » Thu Jun 27, 2013 7:04 pm

A mate of mine (of the Morris Minor owning persuasion, but we can't help how we're made) has just sent me these photos of a rather smart looking 1300 estate he spotted in Gloucester. I have seen a picture of it before (or at least one very similar)- it turned up at the New Year's Day classic car meet at a Fromebridge Mill just down the road from me- may even have been in a magazine.

Anyonen know it, or the owner? There's also a white Mk1 estate (other than Tank) down Bristol way, positively common...

I knew a guy from wales that had a 1300 mk3 estate. His name was Brendan, it was the same colour too! There may be a picture of it somewhere.. Hold on.. I'll go away and check..

We're worrying close to Wales here so it's quite possibly one and the same :lol:

Different one..

And unfortunately, this one seems not be on the DVLA search anymore.. Estates are rare then!

Yup, I just remembered that one and went to see if it was it, if you get my drift!

Would be a shame if that one has dissapeared. I'm really glad I bought mine.

I've lived in Gloucester 10 years and I don't recall ever having seen it.

I'm guessing it's local but not resident in Gloucester itself, and probably only comes out during the day :lol:
