Lazy spotters thread

I had no idea what this was when I snapped it. Turns out it's the one and only HWM-Cadillac that has raced at Goodwood on numerous occasions and featured in the Pebble Beach Concours so it was surreal to see it just casually driving through town.

That's not very shite, but more in keeping with AS this Fester passed by a few minutes later. It's a 1.1 L, almost identical to my first car so it brought back a lot of memories, and the MOT history suggests it hasn't even done 20,000 miles yet. I think it was being towed by @TripleRich's van, in which case it's in very good hands.

Its in very good condition, almost rock solid.  We're sorting out some corrosion on the front valence for the owner.  Car was repainted a few years ago and has been done quite well.

It looks fantastic and it's great to see it getting some love to make it even better. That interior pic brings back so many memories - mine was just like that but beige.

Bad photo of a Bluebird in traffic near me. I never pass other Bluebirds whilst in mine, same with Capris!

Out and about I saw this TR6 shell. Maybe it belongs in a thread for more decrepit spots, but a spot's a spot.

Only reason I ask, was last time I was down that way, there was a Yank parked like that, outside of very similar houses lol.

I had a feeling it wouldn't be too far away, though.

I cropped a few out of the picture, because obviously that’s the only thing that happens in Belfast isn’t it? 
Not people going about their daily lives or anything like that...

Mercshite.

This behemoth has been a neighbour's transport for many years and has seen better days:

Unfortunately it suffered a FTP a few months back, so was sacked off to make way  for a BMW SUV and has been sitting on this spot ever since. The tyres are slowly deflating and debris is building underneath. Might be a project for a shiter.

About half a mile away is this:

It used to live under a tarpaulin, but its owner now thinks it safe to reveal it to the world..... They don't make 'em like this anymore.
