Darby Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 A burgundy Maxi this afternoon in Helston which helped alleviate the deleterious effect that place has on you. The fossilised driver had a look of resigned fate upon his countenance; yet again, that Helston effect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I was in Skegvegas this afternoon. On the same street I saw a D reg mini pickup. And a D reg Daimler Majestic in grey over black. https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fa%2Fa2%2FDaimler_7181HP_020510_CPS.jpg%2F1200px-Daimler_7181HP_020510_CPS.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDaimler_Majestic_Major&docid=K6HbTO3KHaoBjM&tbnid=QrUIZkcQRv9KPM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwiI3JLTiKXVAhVMIcAKHWxhC7oQMwgxKAcwBw..i&w=1200&h=803&bih=589&biw=1366&q=daimler limousine 1965&ved=0ahUKEwiI3JLTiKXVAhVMIcAKHWxhC7oQMwgxKAcwBw&iact=mrc&uact=8 BTW, The Maxi.

I'd have been absolutely terrified driving a near 100 year old car at those speeds, but evidently the old 'Tin Lizzie' was perfectly capable!  Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bordfunker Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 This morning on the M40 I saw an immaculate Mitchelin branded Citroen HY van in blue and yellow.  On the way home this evening the M40 produced not one, but 3 Triumph Stags, one in Wedgewood blue, the other two in white, all making that lovely V8 burble.  Karl   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 17 plate McLaren 570S at the local BP garage in Buckingham, it looks as though he was on his way to Silverstone Circuit 5 miles up the road.

elderly Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yesterday afternoon in Aylesbury .......  ....... I don't know what I saw !  it was a smallish 2 seater Convertable that looked a little like a BMW Z3.  My wife though that the small circular badge on the rear said something like 'Bernini 25' but the nearest likely maker was probably  Minari.
