Spot of the day, Part 4

This rather lovely and ancient Landie was outside the pub we visited at lunchtime today.  The spade seat backs suggest a very early 80-incher, so some 70 years old!

Driving through to Norfolk yesterday, I saw  a Hawker Hunter in a car park on the A17 by Holbeach. No markings and it looked like the green was Humbrol 30!

 

Today in and around Blakeney, two Rover P.5’s in tandem, then a Morgan three wheeler and a little later still an Austin A30.

 

Finally, parked outside where we are staying, a cream Austin Healey.

Out & about this afternoon, saw a very nice looking HT Holden Monaro GTS, bright yellow, really set it off, very much a pride & joy type of car.

Steve.

My favourite of all Holdens but never managed to own one. Our neighbours father owned until he had to surrender his licence, a beautiful Silver Monaro. Original owner and the only thing replaced was the door and window rubbers. It went for a motza when he sold it, well out of my price range unfortunately.

Great memories of them charging down Conrod Straight at Bathurst hopefully being able to pull up at the bottom and the ground shaking as they put the foot down with the 327cubic inch V8 😍

Over the weekend...... Lots of spots so where do I start?

 

Lamborghini Aventador

Jaguar E Type

Ford Escort Mk.1 RS1600

TVR Tuscan Speed Six

TVR Tamora

McClaren (looked like a 600 series judging by the black flash on the sides)

Four Datsun 240Z's

Datsun 260Z

Chevy C/K and a Ford (undetermined model, could be a Model A). Both had been 'rat rodded'. 

Chevrolet Corvette 1956 model, so a real rarity.

Porsche 911E

Heinkel Kabine

Late 1970's BMW 5 series

Report from last Sunday: Missed a GC8 Impreza WRX STi in WR Blue (with gold wheel, of course), an A90 GR Supra, and a 992 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition in the launch colour of Cherry Metallic. Pretty gutted.

At least I got a McLaren 12C...

... a mint 458...

... and a 997.2 911 GT3 RS. Which would be my choice over the Targa Heritage Edition, obviously.

I think it was going out. It was noticeably further forward than all the cars around it, so may have been there quite a while.

Seeing what it is it's a shame it wasn't a spring tide...

One for @MR2Don yesterday - a black MkI MR2.  I'll see if I can get a photo next time I'm passing.

 

This Fulvia pulled in while I was airing up my tyres this evening.  Apologies for the blurry pic, I'm a bit self conscious taking photos of people...  😳

Never mind seeing an MR2, that Fulvia would suit me down to the ground😉. Only 75k miles!!

Really bad 9 hour journey from Romney Marsh to Devon today with queue after queue,  saw lots of lovely VW camper vans, two yes two Aston Martin DB5s, never seen one on hhe road  but two in one journey,  a silver and a blue one on M3 and A303  and on M20 just outside Ashford a beautiful black GT40, I think it was a genuine one with an old plate, sounded gorgeous,  will have it on Dash cam if it's not overwritten after that long journey .
