johnlambert Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Sadly no pictures but some interesting cars seen today. I count the Fiat Uno as interesting because you don't see then any more, that was followed by a Computervision-livery MG Metro 6R4. Later there was a 1980s Aston Martin V8 Volante in shiny black with cream upholstery. I wouldn't have a Volante (I prefer the V8 or Vantage saloons, and yes Aston Martin described them as saloons) myself but it did look good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Saw a nice bright red Triumph Stag this lunchtime . Forgot to mention it at the time , but last weekend I saw a Benelli 750 Sei . For those who aren't familiar , it's a 1970s 6 cylinder 750 motorcycle . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anteater Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I saw a mustard Stag yesterday evening, but the odds of spotting one must be pretty high. The survival rate is Staggering. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome wrap should be treated as a crime against humanity. Also, doubt that Evoque Convertible can be used on a school run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amongst all the supercar stuff , the long gone everyday stuff really appeals to me . The Mini Clubman was original paint apparently !! The Countach left later on and those 6 carburettors were coughing a bit !! Gary . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Two photos on here today which come into the same category as some cars I saw at a (small) local car show today. First up, that vomit (sorry, Harvest Gold) coloured Mini Clubman (not GT though): And joining the post above in the oddball category (I suppose you could call it a 1:1 kitbash), this 3-wheeler. 3 wheels and based on a 2CV suggests to me that cornering could be comical.. On the way back I passed a very nice '66 911 coming the other way, but pics below are from the show: This one needs no introduction: Nor should this: This 1949 Cadillac was gorgeous, fully deserved its price. Not sure which of this and the Elan I'd have wanted to take home with me if I could Can't complain at a Jensen Interceptor either. Back from the dawn of motoring, this Model T is well past its century While this boat-tail Alvis is only 3 years away from reaching that mark: But I'll leave with a couple dating from much less time before I was born. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bigger head lights would improve the look to my mind. Some more info as a result of extreme nosiness. Steve. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
