Maybe owner knows something about motorsport. It would be more than fine if this Starlet would be released as a kit I would need minimum 3 boxes... 2 to create the Starlet two of my friends used to rallye years ago and one for me to create my choice Marco F 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both about as useful as the proverbial chocolate kettle but who cares... The Austin A70 Countryman is something special too. I had to look that up, had no idea there was a factory A70 woody wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Zephyr I can imagine that the GN Spider would be the next project for @Jo NZ after this Bloody Mary! I had never seen an A70 Countryman before either, and there were two immaculate ones on the stand! Malc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I was away this weekend so no modelling. But yesterday this 1965 Vanden Plas Princess sneaked up on me. And I do mean sneaked - it was very quiet for a near 60 year old car and I didn't really notice it until it was driving past me - by the time I got my phone out it was quite a bit past me. Lovely condition, and on checking the reg plate it turns out to be a Princess R which came with a Rolls Royce engine - I guess that's why it was so quiet! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klubman01 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 At midday today, heading north on Tower Bridge Road towards the bridge, a French registered, blue, classic mini. Don't see many classic minis in London, let alone foreign registered versions. Trevor 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 On the way to McDonalds to get breakfast this morning a very tidy original looking (not over restored) Cortina Mk5 in silver with a black vinyl roof - was going well too. Another car that I used to think was 'big' but looked tiny driving alongside my Grand Vitara! Keith 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Wandering through western Sydney (Wentworthville) on my way back to civilisation yesterday, I spotted a McLaren Senna - very schmick, metallic olive green and black, looked and sounded LERVERLY - going the other way. The thought struck me - why have a car like that in Australia? You could never drive it to anything like its full potential - the roads are crap, far too many other road users can't drive to save their lives (and insist on killing or maiming themselves and too many of their fellow road users to prove the point), the revenooers are everywhere, and the opportunities to put it on a track are few and far between. Must be nice to have that sort of disposable income! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer matt Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Just followed a silver Toyota iQ down Reigate Hill in the dark and rain, thinking 'thats an expensive reg plate' (two digits/two letters). Pulled up behind it to see that actually it had an expensive badge too. Aston Martin Cygnet. Yes I know it was a quotas loophole finding excercise, but still, why??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempting to buy one just to rock up to your local Aston Martin lickers' luncheon isn't it. They were a rebadged Toyota with all the performance of an arthritic sloth, and only £31k brand new 12 years ago. I bet they can't give them away now. Scuttles off to Autotrader... There are 7 currently for sale, the cheapest high mileage one being... £29,000. Oh. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 On the way to Hokitika last week for an aged in laws funeral, a 1965 Mk III Zephyr 6 coming the other way, quite tidy but had the look of a car that gets driven a fair bit. The best part though came on the long 100 kph straights between Inangahua & Reefton, a stretch of road with normally light traffic, we were run down & eventually passed by a couple on a 1975 BMW R75, getting along in fine style. .
