Fake spotter thread

Barugzai? WTF is that?

I think that must be the Chinese word for "bellend"

[mk2_craig]

That Peugeot "313" by the way. An actual thing in certain markets, or just someone pissing about with random numbers?

Barugzai? WTF is that?

Sort of spotted as actually spotted at my mates house!

 

First up he has two Land Rovers on his drive. He got the white one so he wouldn't keep driving the blue one as he liked it too much and was going to sell it, but didn't.

 

 

Next guess what's under here?

 

 

From the other direction?

You'll be doing well if you get it from these

 

 

In one of his garages, this is easier!

 

 

 

This one's not his, just in the garden two doors down & caught my eye

 

 

In the other garage, his latest pride & joy. We didn't get to go in it as it pissed with rain. He has promised to bring it to our house in the summer.

 

Nice and shiny!

 

 

He wouldn't even open the window for us to look inside!

 

 

Great place to keep a ladder!

 

 

Also several motor bikes, one of which can be seen in the window reflection above, but I didn't bother with pics of them

I think it looks like a Bristol of some sort....

[mercrocker]

Volvo 164?    Porsche 914?

[Amishtat]

Volvo 164 or 144

[FakeConcern]

Not close with that, but it does look like it!

 

Volvo 164?    Porsche 914?

Close ish for the under cover one and Porsche 914 is the correct answer for the blue one in the garage.

 

Volvo 164 or 144

As above, close guess.

Spotted in Bexhill the other day, a very tidy all steel Mini Traveller complete with trimz & actual wing mirrors in a lovely colour.

 

 

[FakeConcern]

I also found a few more spots I'd forgotten about on my phone

 

In Brighton so it's probably already on SA Barrat's spotted thread, but oh well!

 

 

 

 

 

How long does it take to get like this?

 

 

 

 

I was impressed with the Rover & then in the same street I saw this...

 

 

 

This Clio V6 was on the A11 or A14, you don't see these every day...

 

 

 

Chauffeur driven long W/B Silver Spur in Eastbourne

 

 

Looked lovely, I saw it a few times

 

 

[FakeConcern]

As you may have guessed from all my recent posts, I've been looking at the photos on my phone, so in no particular order....

Spotted while out on my bike in Catsfield, looked yummy...

Also when on bike, near Magham Down, I could live with one of these...

In Brighton and looking over restored to my eyes and should this be in the late reg madness thread?

Don't see these much now

Giffer Volvo in Bexhill

B&Q car park, I was going to get it from the back when I returned, but it had gone

Tidy Starlet in Bexhill

Not seen a Calibra for years & loved this one in Eastbourne despite (because of?) non standard wheels. Particularly crap pic as wife & daughter were looking at me strangely as I started to close in on it...

Smiley transit in Ebo as well

Great colour Vitara outside fish & chip shop Little Common

340 on silly wheels Norwich...

[FakeConcern]

Mk4 is my least fave Golf, but I like this one...

 

Haven't tried to search the number plate yet, so what is this?

and from the side...

looks sort of familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

[MorrisItalSLX]

I believe that is (some of) a Volvo Duett.

[FakeConcern]

In the road opposite my house,,,

Those Crown Taxis enjoyed quite a long production run. The one in your photos seems to have been imported direct from Japanese taxi service. Not sure it's been restored as such, since Japanese taxi drivers are fastidious about keeping their vehicles in good order. Some of them were fitted with motorised passenger doors which could be operated remotely by the cabbie.

Crown Taxis are/were also in service in Hong Kong and Singapore. I certainly remember them being at work in 2008 in Singapore.

Avantime in Blackstable today, very nice indeed...

Classic colour combo...

Wife and daughter bemused by my interest...

Not keen on the fake French plate...

[Sudsprint]

Ahh, Harbour St, Whitstable  (didn't know about the Somerset Maugham connection)

Yeah, There's also Ferne Bay, Tercanbury & others. You can easily find his uncle's house (The Vicar of Blackstable) which is interesting

[FakeConcern]

Obviously all these are from a while ago as I've not been out..

This was a while ago in Folkstone, but I've since seen it in Hastings as well and it sounded great as it went past

I see this Astra van when out on my bike near Magham Down, nice patina

And this, I can't quite make out what this is in the field behind

This tidy T2/T35? is pretty near as well

and over the road is this LT, in fact having seen the one on ebay tat I thought of it

In Hastings I spotted this Mundano, these are a really lovely shape, but I prefer the earlier front end

nd

Bucking the trend by having black tape on rear bumper...

Also this Astra still in use and looking very original

and along the front was this Hymer camper, is it Fiat based?

In Lewes a nice mini and dented R5

Plus a Focus ST170, I reckon these will be collectable soonish

Nice Mk2 Golf in Worthing

And this interesting front garden

Can't remember where I saw this nice Pug 406

Merc in Kemp Town

Tiger 500 for sale in Rye

Nice Mini in Ebo looking very original apart from nasty trimz

Vitara in Ninfield

A couple I often pass on my bike

Rover 2000

and Sherpa with window left open

Cooden , Bedford truck (ex GPO maybe?)

rather nice old caravan

Festering Festa

5 door 900, not keen on this, would like a turbo 3 door

Auto Punto, how many of those left do you think? Fantastic aftermarket lights in grill

I thought I saw another in Brighton, but it's the same one!

Back in Bexhill a faded red Starlett in daily use

MGF obviously out of use now

Yummy Renna R26

What is this, looks familiar can't think what it is, Nissan 300SX maybe?

Lastly, not shite at all, but I've never seen one before and in just the colours of a Mini 1275GT I had

Soz for the mega post, just wanted to get rid of all those pics off my phone!

[FakeConcern]

Today I spotted a couple of interesting cars in Bexhill, 1st an Espace (Mk2?)

Fairly tidy looking...

Twin sunroofs...

A bit of lacquer peel and inappropriate racing stripes...

Also a Belmont...

So I thought I should look through my pictures for any other spots and found a few...

In the back of Looses in Norwich...

A Vanguard also in Norwich. I had a toy one of these when I was small, now I wonder if I still have it...

Rusty Ovlov, fully loaded...

Nice looking MG ZT, but lots of lacquer peel on roof bonnet and boot...

I put this on the cars you didn't know thread as someone mentioned NSU Prinz...

The Imp Californian also nice to see...

Commer truck worth a look too...

Dodge Charger in Hastings...

I did a time trial over at Beachy Head last year and one of the participants turned up in this Fiat Coupe...

The chap I bought some bike wheels from had this lovely Ovlov 740...

In the back streets of Hythe...

I love the 182 in Racing Blue...

Especially with the optional stripes...

Lastly a Corrado...

It's a VR6 too...

[FakeConcern]

On the A11 on Monday I spotted a Mini in a layby...

Unfortunately the bonnet was open...

I was surprised to see it was the square clubman front...

Yesterday in Bexhill a 75 with strange signwriting...

And today while on my bike a Unimog...

I saw it the other day but didn't bother to stop. Why is it on a Q plate and why does it not have/need an MOT? Also showing as blue...

[FakeConcern]

On my bike again and I often go through Hankham (Fnarr fnarr) where the garage often has interesting cars outside or where you can see them peeping out.

I’ve seen both ends of a blue XJS and I had been waiting to get a proper shot of it, but as that may never happen, here’s the tail end...

Also peeping out is a Mini I’ve not seen before with Sport Pack arches although Total Car Check says it’s a Mayfair and been off the road for some time...

Over the road some interesting cars in a front garden

Hyundai Coupe and V70 both not moved for a while, the V6 75 has been used fairly recently...

Nice 940 still in use just down the road...

A bit further down the road a couple of vans rotting in a field although both have moved around the field not too long ago...

Later on spotted this Mk3/4 VW Golf Cabriolet in Bexhill...

 

[FakeConcern]

I don't think I've put this old shot of a Herald on before...

Then today in Hailsham..

75 Tourer...

Smiley Transit...

With a few accessories

V40...

Just as I was getting in the Modus an old chap came and asked me why I was interested in those cars number plates, I think he thought I was planning to clone an old Transit and Ovlov haha. Mrs Concern was very embarassed.

[FakeConcern]

Sposset on a ride yesterday

Tatty Sprint, still nice...

apart from decal on the bonnet...

[FakeConcern]

Ravenside Bexhill

Tatty looking Pug in Appledore Kent

Is this a GT4? The other was once owned by Princess Anne apparently...

A Mini Moke style kit car I'd not seen before Jimini2, I don't usually like this sort of thing, but this looks nice and well finished up close. Still registered as a Mini Neon Ltd Edition though...

Crappy generic/trailer rear lights

Aditional spot/fog lights on the front

Interior looks good

 

[FakeConcern]

Tidy Nova in Brighton

Nice parking

Jag S Type near Tenterden

Boot open

VWs in Norwich

R4 Van in Tenterden, when did they stop making these?

Jag XJC Hastings, this looked super clean

Sprint in Rickney (Abarth Stilo in background)

 

[High Jetter]

Rickney? Is it near the garage down there?

(Back of beyond, for everyone else.)

If you'd carried on past the Spridget/Herald/whatever up the hill and eventually to a T junction, turn right past Hankham garage, fork right and down the hill it's on the left at the bottom before Rickney Farm and Rickney sewer.

[FakeConcern]

Lancia Fulvia near Tenterden...

It did have 4 massive spot/fog lamps on the front so #rallycar

Looked at again yesterday, no change.
