On the m42 sb last Tuesday I saw a TVR Sagaris and a Ferrari I think. Also a TVR Tuscan on the nb hard shoulder.

Never usually see anything nice on the m42!

I regularly see interesting stuff on the M42. Ferrari's are fairly common, I drive on every week in the Evora

A-reg yellow Renault 4 GTL on the M1 northbound yesterday about 1130 - came off at J24.

I've had some good spots over the weekend:

Thursday XE Project 8 near JLR's Fen End track, then 2x I Pace engineering cars.

I saw an I-PACE today in Leicestershire. Was white and the registration began with VN67. I was quite surprised as I didn't think they were on sale yet. An Autocar article says deliveries begin in July. It wasn't exactly close to the headquarters, although I have seen a camouflaged Land Rover(new Defender I believe) very close by to where I saw the I-PACE.

It'll be an engineering car, or one of the management fleet.

Leicestershire is local to Coventry and Gaydon I reckon. Its certainly commutable for someone working at those locations.

Also Bruntingthorpe has a JLR connection.

Could also be connected with MIRA at Hinckley.

And the I-Pace dealer launch events have started.

Yes, I suppose.

New location is at RAF Kendrew. The new distance is also around 1.3 miles so even more impressive

[rsturbo]

Sorry it was the 1:1

Good to see a few posts on this thread for a change!
Black McLaren 540C outside a house in Buxton, today 11AM.
About a million VW Camper vans around the Peak District as well.

I saw a McLaren 720S heading into Retford (North Notts) a week or so ago, registration 111TAG I think. I'm not a massive McLaren fan but it did look the part, compared with the lesser McLarens which while nice, don't have the 'wow' factor.

Red evo 6 Tommi makien edition in wymeswold on Thursday morning

[Gompo]

I've been driving through Chesterfield the last 3 days, I do this a few times a year with work. I've no idea why but these last three days have yielded some great sights. Sadly no photos due to driving.

Best was an Alfa Romeo SZ in red, first I've seen on the road for at least 10 years. This was near the big Tesco and Casa Hotel. Not so exciting for most but perhaps of interest I've also seen driving about a very early Saab 900 or 99 (beige), a fairly early Skoda Estelle (beige), a Lada Niva (black), a Renault 8 (yellow) and I'm sure others I can't remember.
