Michael Church Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 That's a great color on a car that's almost completely unknown in the U.S. A little Tamiya polishing compound should take care of the last bit of texture 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 And tonight on the A46, just north of Leicester at the Hobby Horse island. An immaculate Nissan Bluebird ZX Turbo in black on the F-Plate - Almost down to single figures on the road now.... IanJ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Out and about this morning and it yielded some good "spots". There was a white Ferrari California, dark blue/purple Toyota Mr2 Mk3 with gold wheels (which I see quite often) and three Nissan Figaros (one grey, one pink and one mirror-finish pink). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Nearly forgot, there was also a lovely Daimler Sovereign (Series 1 Jaguar XJ6-shape). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now a green (pistachio?) FIgaro just drove past the end of my road. Where are they all coming from/going? They're not all travelling in the same direction so I don't think there's a meet somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 No idea what this was, but it looked very cool. Spotted on a Norfolk A-Road yesterday. A sharp looking mid size crossover electric, neat boxy Giugaro-look, wide but shallow “grille” like a black chocolate bar, and a large raised “+” on the bonnet for a badge. Very stylish and “next gen” looking. Wondering if our friends at Lotus are doing some development work on something from elsewhere… EDIT: with a bit of help from Twitter, it was a Polestar 2 best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Today's the day the just keeps on giving. I had to pop to the shop, which yielded something vintage and sporty (was too far away to be more specific); low, bare alloy body, spindly wire wheels and a long, pointed tail. There was also a Mini 1275GT, slightly scruffy in red with a white roof and boot lid. And another Nissan Figaro (or it might have been one of the ones from earlier). I also forgot to upload this yesterday: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 While I was out for a drive in mt Saxo this morning I saw a very nice Rover 2200SC on an N plate in Mexico Brown and a green Mazda MX-5 on an H plate. No pics as I didn't have my camera with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modern one, far less interesting, if it had been a '63 or '64 I'd have identified it as a Ferrari 250 California 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1159 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 It must be summer,cars have started to come out of hibernation,a pair of DB9's going along the front and a red Merc coupe (haven't got a clue what it was but it was covered in spoilers and sounded gorgeous)....

Six97s Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I couldn't bring myself to take a photo of it, but there's a Freelander parked nearby that's been made even uglier with the addition of a lumpy body kit. 🧐 Must be my lucky day, because I came across this just now.

Sabrejet Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just come back from a bit of a break and spotted this on Day 1. I hated it at first but by Day 7 it had really grown on me. It has a style all of its own and though you can't unsee its heritage once you know (answer below* for those who don't want to know), I think I'd like to have a go at one. It's a kind of DB4GT Zagato/250 SWB homage and I'd love to see it finished. (*Mazda MX5) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1159 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 That's fantastic and a big improvment on an MX-5,i can just see it finished in BRG.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 I guess it's for practical reasons, but I think it would look a lot better with a bit less front overhang.... Interesting thing though and a whole lot better than any MR2 based ''Ferrari''.....!! Keith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klubman01 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I think it looks quite good. Certainly evokes an Aston-Martin-esque image. Would look better if the paintwork was finished. Is it a commercially available kit to do the conversion? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a BMW-based '250 GT SWB convertible' [sic] replica at Scramble last month. That one did look strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 In the car park of Dean's Garden Centre at Stockton on the Forest near York, a cream 1936 Austin 10 saloon in immaculate condition and sounded pretty good when it set off. Sorry no photos, but phone was with Mrs T at the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
