Lazy spotters thread

I wonder if there's some sort of double bluff thing going on, painting it silver, like, 'anybody who made a copy of a Ferrari would paint it red, this is resale silver, so it must be real'.

I guess it doesn't look too bad if that's what you want, major disappointment though when the local tec' college auto repair candidates start burning you off in their lunch hour, driving a warmed up Fiesta.

It had illegally tinted front windows , presumably so you wouldn’t be able to see inside 

 assume the Ferrari parts visible through the rear window are just plastic replicas

Spotted these two yesterday:

Minty mint McMint face Golf GTi at Goodwood. Why aren’t they all this simple and cool now?

Agreed.  The Mk2 Golf, in my opinion, is a quite superb looking car.

Almost the same colour as mine, but RHD and all standard, by the look of it. These are the perfect little classic.

When did these Toyota's get to look so dated. (spotted at ATS Crawley).

The design is 35 years old, to be fair.

I’d love one.

Minty Saab... and less minty Orion.

My mate sent me this picture the other day. 

There's a lot going on there. Big bore exhast, chrome arches, mirrored windows. 

Looking at the history it was originally black, then white (which its still registered as) and is now the inconspicuous red above. 

Makes me think it was used for funerals, then weddings and now for selling drugs to chavs.

Can’t remember if I posted this before. Mazzer QP outside a greenhouse in Holland. Quite a story to this place.

Spotted near Kilgetty in Pembrokeshire. This is someone's private collection. Sorry about the picture quality, I cheekily took the pictures through the fence from the neighbouring property. There are at least six Rover 800s here together with the RWD Volvos..

Vectra looked to be serving as a builder's van.

Passed an interesting garage today, the first thing that caught my eye was this A50 ute gasser, nicknamed "Bosstin".

Has a 7.0 Pontiac engine, and was featured in a top ten list of gassers in Street Machine magazine. 

The Pontiac engine came from this '63 Bonneville which is now receiving an 8.8 litre engine (forgot what make):

There was this Ford Prefect/Popular/Anglia outside the workshop too:

Interesting place, the owner said they get all kinds of interesting stuff coming in and out so I'll see if I can pop by another time.

Was in Lewes today and spotted this with its lovely hand repainted numberplate:

Believe the 'Longroof' was on a day out with it as well. Also saw a pink mk1 panda but didn't get the chance to pap it
