Two decent “spots” yesterday.

A red non-Calais VL sedan near Baulkham Hills, by the way its trim fitted I think an original in great condition - not a restoration. Personalised plates, bonus points for not being a poxy survivor on club rego.

In the back blocks of Castle Hill’s industrial area, an XP hardtop with the front end on a dolly.
