I spotted this rarity in Rome a few days ago!

 

What the heck is that?  I spy what appear to be bits of BX...Iveco Daily front indicators?  Guessing some locally made odd Heinz 57 ...

More than just the indicators - the Magnum was built using the shortened chassis, drivetrain and braking system of the Iveco Daily AWD - all the ingredients you could ever want for your Italian competitor to the Range Rover...

Apparently 6,000 built over 18 years of production, of which 1,200 were the V8-engined Laforza.

Never seen one in the metal either!

MK1 Carlton in met blue spotted sitting on the highway with moss around its roots in Redhill area M25. Looked clean enough, just sat for a while.  It's in the same place on Google maps too.

Having been sat for donkeys years, this has had its tattered and torn cover removed  within the last year. Get it before it's bean cans. Cambridge.

Fascinating.  Always fun when you encounter something totally unknown from smack in the middle of what you consider to be the time period you had decent knowledge about...

All the points to the first person to spot one in the UK then...

In Buckingham today, looked tidy and I followed it round Buckingham and it turned into Tesco's so my guess is it is in regular use.

I'd be a bit worried if I spotted someone stalking my car.....

Taken in the Rolls Royce car park in Derby.

So most likely owned by a Safety engineer Or a Engine Health monitoring Engineer or a project manager.

Very pleased that I had to go to Medway for work today, the lesser spotted 323 saloon! Done similar miles to mine.

When was the last time a Coupe and saloon got together?

It is, I've seen that one in and around that area a few times.  Wasn't hanging around last time I saw it either.

I took this as much for the jaunty parking in amongst the bins and classy backdrop.

Fits right in though doesn't it?

Spotted this little beauty as I chucked the wife out at Asda.

Also a Supra in shot.

Theres a maroon ford Orion of the last variety (mk5/6?) round the corner from but I’m usually driving so never manage to snap it.

Anyone on here own a silvery blue G reg Hyundai Stellar with plate ending in XMM? Haven't got the footage off me dashcam yet but fuck me was it fit, probably never going to see one on the roads again as long as I live.

Edit: Think the full reg was G876 XMM?

Thanks to the original Gran Turismo I still want to own a Demio - quirky yet very practical.

If you can't find a Demio, a Premacy might do.

The original Demio were quite small unlike the latest reincarnation which is a fuggin ugly bulbous bloated wanna be S.U.V ugly piece of crap ?

Spotted this awesome Cavalier at my local 24hr asda. It just so happens that I tried to sell this one on here not too long ago, but it went for more on eBay. Wasn’t mine but I could have bought it. Looks like it’s giving it’s next owner a Stirling service.
