Bordfunker Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I had a McLaren MP4 follow me round the M25 and down the M40 all the way to the A43 this evening. Good job I was in the C1 or he could have caught me! It looked to be super car Thursday on the M25 as beside the MP4 there were a brace of late model Ferraris and Porsches.

Going there myself tomorrow with a shopping list for the Fiesta.

Pete in Lincs Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Yesterday in Boston near the railway station. On a driveway behind a caravan I think I saw the rear end of an Oldsmobile Toronado. (1960's V8 front wheel drive for those who don't know). Today heading towards Horncastle, a large red rectangular convertible with the top down which I think was an early 60's Chevrolet or Oldsmobile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 A white Morris Traveller on a V plate. It appears to have been imported from Thailand as there were a number of Thai stickies in the window and it also had a Thai number plate?

bentwaters81tfw Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 On our way to and from the W Norfolk model show today, we passed an assortment of classics heading to a rally at Euston in Suffolk there were some early VWs, including a split screen pickup. A lovely Daimler and late 30's Rolls convertibles, a TR6, a Stag, a Triumph 2000, a Healey 3000, and Cpl Jones' Butchers van, which lives in nearby Thetford. They don't like it up 'em. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs2man Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 At my mate's garage on Saturday morning , there were 4 Mk2 Escorts , a Jaguar E-Type & , most surprisingly , a K reg Morris Marina 1.3 automatic . Can't remember when I last saw a Marina - thought they'd all collapsed in a rotting heap . This one was an absolute minter . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 On my cycle back from visiting my mum yesterday I saw: 1961(?) Corvette Lancia Delta Integrale Triumph Stag A real rarity – a 60s Red Mini Cooper STILL with its BLACK roof (I think that was the standard factory combo for red cars in the day, red/white was for BMC works cars) with a straight cut ‘box – hopefully the occupants either weren’t going very far or had earplugs! And on Friday as I left work I saw a Bristol Beaufighter – not the WW2 plane but the rather boxy 70s?-90s? car. Cheers Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan R Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yesterday in a Halford's Car Park, A '63 Ferrari 250 of some kind, not a GTO, but pretty and gloriously loud! Today on the way home a Triumph Stag towing a box trailer. looked in good nick as well. The car, not the trailer... Cheers, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I too saw a Stag, but on Monday somewhere in Cambridgeshire. Today in a pub car park in Navenby, Lincs, was a lovely green Alfa spider 1600. No ugly rubber spoiler on the boot & LHD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
