Pete in Lincs Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 A very pretty G reg ('89 I think) BMW 3 series estate in dark metallic grey. Purty lilttle thing! It was parked in uptown Lincoln and looked factory fresh. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is even worse than that though is that it looks as though a family in the town where I work has his and hers grey and blue versions 🙄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six97s Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Two today: a BRG V-reg Spitfire and a two tone '58-'60 Ford pickup. The latter was parked in a drive not far away, so I might have a wander tomorrow and see if it's still there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Another Ford, and as I was travelling into the sun another rubbish dashcam picture. This time an absolutely gorgeous Mk 1 Granada in what looked like immaculate condition. Â EDIT: Helps if I add the photo... Â 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 A few pictures from Tuesday evening at the British Motor Museum and the monthly "Gaydon Gathering".  This mustang was an absolute peach.  Interior was nice too.  Can't remember when I last saw a Subaru SVX.  I love an ADO16.  Plenty of MGBs, as you might expect. I know there's a WIP for an Aoshima rubber bumper B in brown, which inspired me to point my camera at this one.  More modern classics were represented too, like this BMW 635CSi  And this Alfa Romeo GTV6.  If you like Ferraris you could have seen this in blue.  Or a more traditional red.  There were bikes too.  But the highlight for me was this Bentley. I recognised it immediately even though I'd never seen it before.  If you've read Thunderball you should recall the description of James Bond's Bentley; a two-seat convertible on an R-type Continental chassis. The rear-end was described as being, "knife-edged into a rather ugly boot".  The winged "B" mascot was replaced by an octagonal bolt. My only criticism is that the colour is rather too shiny, in print it was painted rough, not gloss battleship grey.  ] Interior trimmed in a style befitting a gentleman secret agent. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Hmmm, that MGB is pretty close to the colour of my Fiesta, much more so than it is to the MGB model  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Bond's book Bentley is on my list of 1/32 car conversions to make  Day of the Triffids . . . . sports cars Not in the same place, different roads in North Down. In no particular order A yellow Lamborghini, not a Countach A mean looking all black newish type Aston Martin. I think its the one I saw before A bright blue new type Ford Mustang, as above An old Ferrari. I think it might have been a 250 GTO. It was not far from the local MOT centre and it appeared to be in a situation of it 'failing to proceed' A black-bumper MGB A black-bumper MGC (GT?)  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might well be more than one black 1966 coupe in the county, but seems more likely it's the same one. Â The Bentley is rather nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2Don Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 John Lambert's photos re very good, but there is never an MR2 there, of any of the three marks. however...Mk3 round the corner this morning,, silver, hard top, non standard wheels, but looked very nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 It was a good afternoon for spotting today. I'd just delivered the beer to the Leagate pub just outside Coningsby. I waiting to get out of the pub car park and was waved out into the queue by the driver of a very nice red Hillman Imp. Lowered and on wide wheels. Just around the corner I saw a white R reg Rover 2000 in the traffic coming towards me. At a garage on the outskirts of Woodhall Spa I saw a side view of an early Vauxhall Cavalier two door hatchback. In Metheringham, a 30's Rolls Royce and a red F reg Bentley. Plus a late 20's, I think, saloon with what looked like a brass bonnet. No idea of the make.  5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
