Lazy spotters thread

[egg]

Yes, 46k miles at the last MOT, in a nice part of a smart Kentish village. It's a regular, so keeping an eye out for a for sale sign...

Not exactly Autoshite...but worthy of mention I thought...

What odds would you have put on two V12 engined cars completely at random winding up parked next to each other on the hospital car park today?

Does this count as a lazy spot?
I AM fucking lazy after all.

On at least two episodes of Yes Minister, just look at this fine example of a ministerial car....

These two live on a road near me. The micra is almost identical to another nearby. The BMW bodywork has to be seen to be believed - front grille is in shreds. 

[RobT]

That road looks familiar.  Not Denmark Hill is it?

Nah - Archway!

Nah - it's one of the roads off St Johns Way going up towards Hornsey. Cressida/Prospero  can never remember which way round they are!

Outside our house now.

Spotted this beauty at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary this morning. Only 7 CD I's left on the road according to howmanyleft. Unusual (and very clean) MOT history.

Ah, the street planner was a Shakespeare fan.

Meanwhile, in Colindale...

That is brilliant.  Changed hands in 2018 so probably in enthusiast ownership.

Not surprising the MOTs are so clean seeing as until last year it was covering between 4 and 11 miles a year! The new owner has put a whopping 491 miles on it in the last year though. That's actually a good mileage to be doing - not enough to wear it out but enough to keep everything moving (unless they did 487 miles in one weekend of course).

Not really a spot as it wasn't in the wild but I saw this xk120 when we were at the Subaru dealers this morning. 

 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Not quite seeing the connection between Jaguar and Subaru.

Everyone buggar off, because I found today's hero.

 

I'm heading upto Glasgow, 7.6 million salt spreaders are out in force and what's this on Italian plates? A fucking Alfa SZ bombing up the A74.

I spotted this rarity in Rome a few days ago!

I’m quoting this again in full because a Rayton-Fissore Magnum is SPOT OF THE FLIPPIN YEAR and it only got four likes.

Pure AS gold.  Didn’t @wuvvum have one for a while?

[Datsuncog]

Couple of randomers from the last few weeks:

A timely reminder of why seafront living and old cars aren't a good mix... this Corrado VR6 is fizzing like a Junior Disprin.

 

Pineapples are so 2017.

As far as garden planters go, this certainly has some shiter appeal...

Plainly more than a little phuq'd, bodily.

Somewhat happier, good to see this giffer-spec Carina II's still doing the rounds.

Non-pogweaseled Corolla hatch looking pretty fresh too:

[junkyarddog]

Looks more like a Camry to me DC.

I've seen this around before and posted a picture on here more than two years ago. Nice to see it's still going and earning a living.

Never heard of them before, looks like a Fiat Uno on steroids
