Please note that last week I could not get to every person who commented.
I will try harder this week.
And if I didn't get to your WW last week, I promise I will this week.

Mrs. Jim and I traveled to the Isle of Man a year ago this Spring.
My maternal grandfather's line is from Isle of Man.
We are the Corkill family. The first day there I met a lady whose maiden name was Corkill.
Corkill is a fairly common and known name in Isle of Man.
We enjoyed our visit there immensely, we almost covered the whole country (island). Unlike Ireland and Scotland, we did not rent a car here. Rather we used the very adequate public transportation system.

I do not know what year this car is, but my guess is the late 50's or early 60's.

Never seen this car before, but it is cool :-)
such a cute car!!
Hubby love vintage cars ...I am wordless....perfect shot! Hope you'll visit my corner too.
The Isle of Man is a piece of heaven! This is a lovely car. It certainly is in good shape!
What a lovely old Moggy! Happy WW
Oooo... what a cool car and I love the colour! I want a ride!
Nice shot of a classic.
What a cool car. Glad you enjoyed your trip to your homeland. I love vintage cars and this one is no exception. Have a great day Jim. :)
Cool car. I came for Ruby Tuesday, but since there's a little bit of red in this, it counts.
Super cool.
I had a friend who had a Mini Minor once. I think that's what it was called anyway... a little bigger than the Mini Cooper (which, face it, doesn't require much).
Neat cars, but like pretty much everything British Leyland built at the time... be prepared to do a lot of pushing. My '74 Austin Marina got push started about as often as not.
Cool shot!
Ooooooh I love the car!!! I'm so into vintage stuff.
Happy WW!
My WW entry is here.
Great shot...Happy WW.
That one piece of gem! Happy WW! :)
That is one neat car. On rust spots on it...
I do not miss "The Homestead" I never looked back when we moved. We live in a 2 bedroom apt. now. Love it and so much easier to keep after.
Thanks for your speeding over for a visit.
I think I had a senior moment. I came back to complete my answer and it ended up on the Autumn post about your cute little doggy. Maybe, you can figure it all out on your own...;)
Nice color of the vintage car, original or freshly painted?
Happy WW!
What a great shot - beautiful car. :D
Happy WW! That is one kewl car!
I invite your blog readers to see Anti-Sarah Palin rally up in Alaska on my WW-post this week. Not much coverage of this event in the MSM...
peace, Villager
It's a cute car, but the pea-green color is a little off-putting. I'd like to see it painted red!
nice car... nostalgic.. happy ww! my wordless entries are here and here

We have plenty of those over here. And they still do great.
Nice shot. That's a gem. I don't think I've ever seen one before.
Awesome color! Not sure the original manufacturer offered that shade, but if not, they should have. Happy WW!

Wonderful! And I bet the gas mileage is pretty good too.

Whoa..that is a really nice classic car.
What great lines to that car! They don't make them like that anymore!
Very cool! Great color!
Hi, Dr. Jim...we're back in Texas...and warm again! Still unpacking, washing, drying, resting, but home sure is good!
Awesome! Or should I say...
Groovy! (a la Austin Powers, yeah baby!)
Someday, I hope to emulate you and Mrs. Jim... traveling together *wishful thinking*
Always enjoy old cars ~ Nice oldie ~ Happy WW & mine's posted too!
