No photo spotted thread

[Alusilber]

Coming home from work today along the M8, I found myself behind a blue Bedford HA being trailered, and in front of that, a Leyland FG milk float (under its own steam) complete with milk crates(!). I presume that wasn't coincidence...

[ProgRocker]

Today I saw a red 1980s Rover SD1...2000, 2300 or 2600 with the plastic hubcaps and later I saw an N reg Proton MPi in all it's angular glory.

Looking down from Severn Valley Railway bridge over Worcester Rd in Kidderminster - a metallic blue Lotus (Elite or Eclat - couldn't tell from on high). It was perfectly framed in the carriage window, I had a camera in my hand but was so surprised by the blue Lotus that I completely forgot to photograph it!

Somebody was tonking a Stratos (real or otherwise) around the New Forest on Easter Sunday.   There is one I know of fairly locally but it wasn't that one....

[noseypoke]

Spotted this last Sunday but my camera was at home on charge(typical)

First heard a faint rumble...this got louder and LOUDER,I was looking in all directions ...WTF  is that a plane gonna crash or what??......then 100yards up the road at a set of lights...there it was...sitting in the outside lane...every time he revved, the car was shruggin it's shoulders...then the lights changed and yes my eyes were not decieving me.....

 a FORD  GT40  in PINK AND BLUE livery....A road legal GT 40 (SORT OF), it had number plates on but could not get a decent glimpse at them for all the other chod trying to "OUT PERFORM" it away from the lights.

Now this little drag race took place outside Evertons footie club on the A580...Walton Lane...a two lane pot holed dual carrigeway the continuation of the EAST LANCS ROAD.

Now everytiome I walk that road I'm carrying ....just in case

This week I have been covering for someone on a bin round, so not able to take photos, because driving and work.

Working for the Council and taking photo's of people's property is a no no.

On Thursday I saw a Hyundai Pony pick up, on a trailer.

 

Yesterday I spotted a Y reg Ford Capri 2.8 infection, with grass growing around it, a Ford Capri Laser in another garden and a 1987 Mazda 323 Turbo Nutter Bastard sitting on a bit of grass near some flats.

 

According to DVLA the Mazda was only on the road for six years.

 

Unfortunately I washed the number of the 2.8 off my hand, so can't check that one.

It seems a local gas installation company has taken it upon themselves to use livery very similar to British Gas blue/white transits from the 80's. I think the company name was McKay...

I also saw a random 'monster truck' in Edinburgh yesterday. When I say monster truck, I mean a red Hilux with quite big tyres and raised suspension.

[Vantman]

I spotted not one,but TWO Volvo Amazon estates in Thanet yesterday,they both looked like daily drivers,the first was in Margate,a white one, then about an hour later in Ramsgate,a cream one! What are the chances of that,i haven't seen one for about 18 months.

[SierraMikeHotel]

A red Sierra estate with yellow headlamps, going westbound on the A27 near Lewes.

 

I do hope it belongs to someone on here, anyone who owns a Sierra with yellow headlamps really ought to be here.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Today in the joy that is Beeston Leeds was a mk4 Escort in that metallic blue colour and some American thing that I think was a Chavelle in mattish black.

[Ghosty]

Driving back from the factors this morning a brown Mk1 Golf Cabriolet with a beige roof passed by the end of a road I was driving down.

 

Few hours later I was outside messing with the boot trim on the car and it passed by my house

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Yesterday.  I saw a Mk1 Fiesta and Allegro Vanden Plas near Ashford.  Opposite sides of town but the Allegro in particular was dead exciting.

[richardmorris]

Two e type jags on the way home this evening ( although I may be able to scrape a pic from the bike camera). South on the a322 to the m3 junction at 5pm. Convertible yellow series 2 I think and a red fhc.

[Ghosty]

Someone making the most of the weather yesterday was driving a TVR V8S. Not seen one of those for a while, bloody lovely things.

Earlier in the week a Sagaris passed me while I was at the local factors.

I saw a MK 3 Cortina GT/GXL in Fleet yesterday,yellow with yellow bumpers 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Does anyone here own up to having or transporting an AS beige Austin Metro 1.3L, reg. B266 SEA? Saw it on the A406 Westbound this morning, going towards Hanger Lane on the back of a trailer hauled by a Mitsi Shogun.

[Louise2cv]

I thought I had imagined it but there is a third Proton Jumbucks knocking around these parts.

 

Who knew these were so popular?

[BorniteIdentity]

A1 (M) this morning through Hertfordshire.  First thing I saw as I overtook a parade of slow moving vehicles in Lane 1 was, what looked like, portaloos being towed.

 

Then - OMG.  The towing vehicle.  What I think was a Mercedes 609d bus/van/camper.  It was dark so hard to see - but it was very gold.

 

And very fucking cool.

[smellypoo]

Near the Scilly isles roundabout yesterday evening, a blue Proton Gen2 on my left, an 09 plated silver Perodua thing (didn't recognise the model, just the badge on the grille) behind me.

 

Edit: it was a 'Myvi' - I've just seen the for sale post on here for one!

[AlabamaShrimp]

Yesterday it was a mk2 Cortina G reg in Castleford (Mrs Shrimp got a pic but apparently it's shit) and a mk3 Astra in Wakefield that was very well used.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

1989/90 G-plate Fiat Panda "Sisley" 4x4 on M40/M25 interchange, heading Southwest. Looked very clean, and carrying planks on its roof rack.

[tooSavvy]

A Fabia (booted!) passed the Foxhunters as we went in for Sunday lunch...

IIRC not a big seller - mostly 'direct to hire' fleets?

[AlabamaShrimp]

Not one but two E-Type Jaguars today in sunny Wakefield. Both driven by wrinkly old men!

[DVee8]

Citroën BX H reg in red. Citroën 2CV D reg in yellow.Both around Edinburgh

[Willy Warpit]

Passed several Honda CRX's on the M1 today including a silver one registration E1 CRX and

was overtaken by a chrome and black (presumably wrapped) Bugatti Veyron BUG111

[Mally]

Coming up the A1 today, a transporter full of mk 2 Escorts and one Mk 1 Escort in varying condition.

So today, parked in a garage far away from the closed steel gates, I noticed a Citroen CX! It was a red Series 2 Saloon. Other cars I saw today was 3 Minis, an MGB, a Morris 1100 Police Car and a Saab 900

[tooSavvy]

Row of 'classics', on the grass by the pier Seaham.
