My Dad had one of those, I think it had a Cosworth Engine, wholly inappropriate for his driving style! DVLA has it as a 2,933 cc engine.

"Classics" are very much in the eye of the beholder, well evidenced in the current edition of I-Spy Classic Cars which has 120 selections including Morris Marina, Austin Allegro, Ford Sierra.

Page 198 post 3 is today's spot of the humble Ford Sierra, albeit in apparent XR4X4 guise.

Don't let this pass by without comment or reminisce a superb discovery at Morrisons, made more so by being caught red-handed and red faced by the owner as I took my close ups! Needless to say he loves it, has larger bikes, but finds it so much fun, and it attracts plenty of attention. I recall Monkey bikes as smaller and a bit more primitive.

Here's the full set of shutter clicks, and we had a very nice conversation.

A mate of mine has one of the much older Monkey bikes and happily rides it. He's.... ummmmm.... of the 'plus' size

I'll leave it to your imagination as to what he looks like riding it

I have always had mixed feelings about the Monkey bikes, while they were, and still are, novel and different, I always felt that you would be at risk to other road users due to being too low and hard to see from the cab of a big truck or coach etc. As a pit bike or similar use in a closed environment great fun but not for me on the road!!

On the M4 between Newbury and Reading (J13 to J12) a lovely early open topped Jaguar E-Type went past. JXJ 999F, with a 4.2 engine.
