Whilst in Ireland, saw two E-types near Letterkenny from our coach. One soft-top, one coupe, both carrying (racing) numbers on their doors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windy37 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 My Grandad had a brand new Princess . I remember it being very wide inside compared to the Allegro Estate my dad was running at the time . They were both big Kennings clients and both were eventually swapped for a Triumph Acclaim and a Maxi 1750 HL respectively . Those were the days !!

malpaso Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 A couple of nice cars seen out on my cycle ride today. Early red Spitfire, not sure if it was a Spifire4 or a Mk2, as it was on a 65 plate either possible. To be honest I was dazzled by the chrome wires, I should have confiscated the car from the owner for such poor choice. The other car was a plain (or rather, fairly original looking) Mk2 RS2000 in very striking lime green. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klubman01 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Spotted yesterday at Cadwell Park. I had a chat with the owner, and he has a 1600 Pinto under the bonnet with a 5 speed 'box, Mk2 Escort struts, etc. and RS Alloys. Trevor 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I was down in deepest Suffolk today. In the middle of nowhere, one of those houses where they kept every car they ever owned. On the front, by the road, a red Marina Coupe is being devoured by the hedge (and rust). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR2Don Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 OK, I'm at it again, parking next to a bit of exotica. So, be honest this time, which is the better looker? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neddy Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 The Toyota every time. Mercedes seem to have lost their way a bit with their styling in recent years. Is it me or is there something well wrong with the Merc's grille centrepiece? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no contest - and it isn't that bloated German thing next to the pretty Toyota!

MR2Don Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 OK, it's not very rare or anything, but it is in very good nick for its age, leather seats and all. Wouldn't you just love to cruise down the Autoroute to the South of France in it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyas Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Wasn't planning to do spotting last week but it turned out there are some good stuffs: Mercedes-AMG C63 Black still looks menacing even after 10 years New 992 Targa 4S seems to be everywhere in Indonesia, selling like hotcakes 488 GTB with Misha Design kit. Not pretty, if I'm honest. My favourite of the day, the Focus RS Mk. II. We didn't get any Focus RS officially here in Indonesia, so this is pretty special. And it's in my favourite colour too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six97s Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 One from yesterday on the A444, a "patina" (ick) Beetle, L-reg IIRC. Lowered with polished Fuchs style wheels, but somewhat let down by the Herbie decor - yes, racing stripes and 53 roundels. If the rust was faked, even worse 🧐. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Leaving work today, and in amongst the usual cars whose owners are preparing for a night out I saw this: It had GT350 decals on the side, but what I'm not able to say is whether it's a real GT350 or (more likely) a bog-standard '60s Mustang dressed up to look like a GT350. At least I got it on dashcam, unlike last weekend's Aston DB6 in it's natural habitat (petrol station). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's in a movie style car chase and just backed in there as the cops race past in hot pursuit , while failing to spot where he went !
