Those of you with keen eyes might spotted something different. This is a US-spec car, immediately recognisable by that safety bump thingy and orange reflector, but also because the steering is in the wrong side. Beautiful car! New Porsche’s aren’t a patch on the older models, much nicer lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These weren't random sightings - my motor club was having its annual June Driving Tests competition today. These are just a few of the club members cars Now, who can put a make to most of them? and version/model type? This one is the only one I can get (not very good with pre-war cars I['m afraid) - I think it's the original Fiat 500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 It's a Topolino (I think). I also spotted an MGTF and an Austin 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Its a 1937 Fiat Topolino, yes, basically the original 500 There is an MG TF and an Austin 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaddad Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 All sorts of Rollers & American heavy metal, its BRSCC w/end at Rockingham speedway so might have something to do with that, plus over the last week I've had early & late Spits & the BBMF Dakota swanning about over the house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 In a local supermarket car park this afternoon, a well-used 1934 Lagonda Rapier Coupe in Dark Green. I waited around for the owner, but time pressed and he didn't show. Edit. Here's a pic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Steve I saw those in Leeds on Saturday and said to Alison 'I bet Steve has seen these'. The M270 looked awesome and that coming from an aircraft modeller. On way back from my walking group today was a nice 50's Buick parked in the layby next to J30 of M62. Did not get chance to grab a photo, but looked immaculate. Had a four door Maserati in front of me when filling up at Sainsburys in Colton last Thursday. A bit loud when set off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Around midday, just outside Horncastle, In a line of boring cars was a green 69/70 Oldsmobile 442 droptop looking something like this... https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTxRwJQzN5i7jsoqpjkcI0pgYZVfj25RolswH4d9axbk8uCoFgr And in Lincoln later this afternoon, a black droptop Corvette Stingray on a B reg plate. Yesterday on the A17 heading East was a Bond Equipe soft top, towing a caravan! So probably Vitesse based. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Today, in the now standard lovely sunshine, a sandy biege colour Moggy 1000 Traveller, that looked absolutely stunning! I now know I'm getting old as 10 years ago I wouldn't have given it a second glance - today I wanted to take it home!! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Lincoln seems to be Triumph TR central at the moment. I must have seen 20 odd 4's, 5's & 6's today. All top down of course! Sad sighting of the week, an Audi TT with a gold 'wrap'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taglialavore Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Coming away from ugly wrapped cars... I’m guessing there’s some sort of car show around the Romford area as I’ve seen a few beautiful classic convertible mustangs today and a Chevy Bel Air convertible... as well as a whole lineup of caterham 7’s in the services 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 There's a very tidy looking white Marina Coupe lives around the corner, and it's just gone down the hill past the house. First time I've seen it this year, so summer is definitely here!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
