Another holiday over (nothing too adventurous, just a week in Devon) and, as is inevitable, there was the odd bit of classic-spotting in between cream teas, surfing and trying to keep five children and two dogs occupied (not all mine I hasten to add).
A brace of Volkswagen Beetles satisfied Mrs P – particularly given that, like hers, they were clearly well-used daily drivers, as was the splitscreen camper that belonged to Museum of British Surfing director, Peter Robinson (see C&SC Facebook post last week).
As a departure to the expected air-cooled machinery, a Triumph 2000 estate complete with child seats in the back was spotted at various intervals over the week before our return journey back up a sticky A361 was made slightly more enjoyable by a rorty ‘led-sled’ Volvo Amazon that flew past on the opposite carriageway.
Highlight of the holiday however, came not from a classic car, but from a visit to Watermouth Castle near Combe Martin.
