Here's a collection of the shite I spot.

This Fulvia coupe went past @Conrad D. Conelrad and I on the M60 last week. It left his 190 1.8 for dead.

If you ever wanted a Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo, there's one for sale on FB Marketplace. 

Here's a picture of it when it lived at Ann Helme Car Sales at Lancaster University (2023):

Singer Le Mans was being trailered back from a VSCC run.

Somebody actually bought one (and that doesn't look like a wrap).

Robin van was lovely and appears to be in regular use.

Have an NV van on P11 wheels, for some reason.

This was an 840 Ci Sport (or at least an 840 Ci with 850 CSi replica bumpers and Alpina wheels).

Blower Bentley basket tribute I think used a MkVI chassis and engine.

GC8 was a bitsa: some of the details just weren't right - like that boot sticker, for example.

Always thought it a bit odd that there was a car sales spot on campus, but was only ever there for a few days at a time, so never got a chance to go shite spotting. That's a great spot.

Daimler Double Six (XJ81) was quite the spot - it was part of a car meet in Stilton. Even I, a disliker of Jags, could enjoy this.

This had Weld five-spoke drag wheels and a V8 rumble. HRE converted or similar?

Saxo VTS wheels on a Pluriel? Why not?

When @Imhotep's S-TYPE was waiting for recovery, this Compact E36 318ti was waiting for us at Tesco March.

Extreme @Lacquer Peel but otherwise OK - what you can't see is the mad cream leather retrim this MX-6 had.

GIBRALTAR 

I went on a family holiday to Gibraltar.

W140 S500 looked like it hadn't moved for a little while.

Pajeros seemed popular.

There was a big-by-the-standards-of-Gib car show in Casemates Square while I was there. 
I tried to do a report for the mags but nobody wanted it. 
As the show ended, the cars got a police escort up Main Street (not a euphemism). 
A monkey also sat on my head (top, not pictured).

PORTUGAL 

I was in Portugal for a bit. 
I did the map planning for one stop and fucked it up. 

Anyway, here's a Henschel F45 I spotted in a lean-to.

In Porto there were UMM Alters driving round doing tours. I nearly had a seizure.

A nice '02 and a Bertone X1/9, also in Porto.

TAVIRA CAT PISS TARP SPECIAL 

In Tavira there was a car under wraps.

I went for a slash and the cover had been removed! It was a bloody Opel Kadett SILVER EDITION!

Bloody incredible. I would like a hyper spergic DLC of this for BeamNG so I can crash it into shipping containers and/or drive around Gunsai. MEGA.

COIMBRAO

Gonna come back to Coimbrao for a second to look at this lovely (locally assembled) 260-chassis Patrol:

And this shitbagged Corsa A with the loudest CVs I've ever heard.

As well as this sun shitted ZX.

A couple more from Porto. Yes, that 305 S2 has BX16 wheels on it.

Hyundai Galloper looked used and loved.

I hope to fuck that Z3 was a 2.8.

109 was a Land Rover rather than a Santana-summat.
