Spotted this beauty in Covent Garden this morning. What's this worth - £300k?

Spotted a great looking red car on the back of a truck on the M62 tonight.
Comes back as a 1968 Trident when I search the plate.
Never heard of one.
Can anyone shed any light?

and an image...


"Trident Clipper 1968 (1968) For sale from AH Classics , in Lancashire"

It's not in the classified section now, but must have been for sale on Pistonheads at some point, as it comes up in a google image search.

Very rare car indeed.

Might be an illusion but it looks as if the kerbs (on this side) comes half way up the wheel? Maybe is a local and has put it a mile from the kerb to stop his door hitting it ...

Certainly not the type of car you'd see on London's crowded streets everyday - (actually, not living there - maybe you do!)

I miss my Midget, not a big fan of wire wheels and boot racks, but they just feel and look right.

I've seen that near my road a few times which is on the outskirts of Croydon so not an Aston's natural habitat. According to someone I know, the owner's son goes to the same school as I do, but I wouldn't know whom he is.

No 22 Martini 917K again. Up close and personal it's mind boggling how small and focused purely in all aspects to be as fast as possible these cars were. Doing 400kph down the Mulsanne straight back in the day definitely required a certain type of driver(one who was comfy with the fact that he'd be tickets if anything went wrong!):
