Spot of the day!


Recommended Posts

On Tuesday I spotted a mark 2 Ford Escort 4 door.

Sandy brown colour in Beeston Nottingham.

This morning it was a Light aircraft grey MGC GT

going North on the A15 by Waddington.

An Audi TT with the front wheels standing about half a meter up on a wall. Mowed the trees behind that wall and was probably stopped by them. Seems like the driver went away without injuries. However he managed to get there in city traffic - my respect for being so dumb.

Spotted in and around Stratford-upon-Avon yesterday:

A Beautiful mid-sixties E-type coupé and

A mint Triumph TR6 (In mustard, not the best colour for this car...), still looks gorgeous.

 

Cheers, Alan.

This isn't strictly a spot of the day, more a spot from June 2006, but it took me a while to find out what it is, including emailing the picture to Autocar and asking them!

 

I'm sure it won't take as long for someone here to identify it. The photo was taken in Cyprus.

It does have that look, doesn't it. :D

Looks like a Citroen Nightmare Mk2.

But is probably something Japanese.

 

Yesterday in Huddersfield, a nice Wolesely 1500

or Riley 1.5 in grey over maroon in a driveway.

Today passing through Horncastle I saw a very

nice Gold sunbeam Alpine, with the roof down!

My very first car whilst still at school was a light blue Wolesely 1500. Lovely car.

I always understood that underneath

it was pretty much a Morris 1000.

Still, better looking and with a few more

creature comforts inside. A friend had one

in the seventies with wide wheels, it went well.

It's a Toyota WiLL.

 

On the way home this evening on the M25 I spotted a maroon Jensen C-V8, and what excited me even more, a Renault Fuego!

 

Say no more.

karl,

 

it is indeed a Toyota Will. As I mentioned, I ended up emailing the picture to Autocar and they told me. There were very few of these made apparently, and to see one outside Japan was very rare indeed, according to the chap at Autocar.

 

I saw another one not 400 yards from my home a year or so later!

 

I have to say the Fuego was a striking shape, but whether it would excite me .... I'm not sure  :idea:

This morning in Brigg, a Fiat Fullback.

A what? I hear you ask, it's a pick up.

In fact, what it is, is a badge engineered

Nissan Navara. Which begs the question, why?

Anyway, this one was a 66 reg, but already suffering

from Italian electrics because the indicator didn't work.

Mind you the driver seemed to be more interested in

conversing with the passenger than actually driving.

 

Early this afternoon heading North of Lincoln on

the A15 was an L reg Citroen DS. Always liked them.

Again on the M25, I spend too much time on the M25, a mustard yellow Rover P6 on the back of a recovery truck.

 

It looked a little tired, but complete.

 

Almost forgot, a very nice Ford Capri Mk1 in absolutely mint condition on the A30 yesterday.

Yesterday, in a yard just outside Wainfleet,

a blue mark 1 Transit LWB in what looked like

very nice condition as we drove past.

 

Today, Southbound on the A15 North of Lincoln,

I glimpsed a black droopsnoot Mk 2 Escort.

Hi Pete,

 

we've got one at work and it makes for a really comfortable way of inspecting our grass runways.

 

I was under the impression it's a re-badged Mitsubishi L200?

 

And as for why, well it's built on the same production line but is a lot cheaper!

I've seen a few Rialto's about and even

a Kitten in the last couple of months.

Ah, it could be, I was going by the shape of the rear doors more than anything.

And yes, a cheaper price would do it.
