I have seen this at many local small car meets. But it was wonderful to see it out in the wild.

Giggles at the Google it sticker.

It got overtaken by a Model T center door, by some strange coincidence.

The Matrix must have spawned the wrong cars that day.

Note Passenger took the pictures.

I didn't know there were any of those in the UK. Great spot!

He got if from a museum in the States, I can't remember which State he said. He's got it road worthy and is now driving it like it should be.

Some more pictures of it from local shows. It is a thing of beauty, love the little details like the indicators matching the grille.

Front grille looks very tight-lipped. Was cooling an issue?

Plenty of W201 and W124 Mercedes around, with the former battling it out with the Golf Mk2 as the most commonly seen classic. This is the first W123 I am spotting here though, and it's a well preserved one!

Looking at the photos, this might even be a US-spec car!

As I was leaving work this morning I had to wait before pulling out as there was what looked like a Daf variomatic estate, on foreign plates, coming up the road.

No pics to determine whether it was or wasnt unfortunately. 

Essex Dafs strike again!

Not sure what to make of this , looks a bit Singer/ Magnus Walker.

But when you check it online it comes back as :

Make : 911 Targa Sports.

Model :  -

Colour: Red

Year: 1979

First reg: April 1980

Capacity : 2994cc

Never been MOT’d.

No mention of Porsche at all ,  maybe on some dodgy kit car logbook.  Whatever, it would seem to be a ringer.
