Local gathering in Warwickshire this morning, I got there early in my '73 XJ6 to find three Stags, an XK8 soft top and a Dolly Sprint, usual fare I thought, then about half an hour later this beautiful DB4GT turned up...







Got chatting to the owner who told me he'd had it about twenty five years and he thinks it was the only 4GT to leave the factory in pale blue. He also has three old Masers, a Ghibli, a Mexico and a recently inherited 3500GT... nice!

I know the car and the owner. Beautiful. Its called Wedgwood Blue, but I am sure there were a couple of the 74 GTs produced in this colour. Its wonderful.

It certainly is beautiful, there was a fantastic mix of cars present that day but I kept gravitating back to the DB4 for another shuftie. Mesmerising stuff!

Didn't notice the Orion / Escort saloon parked next to this when I saw it the other day ...

Not your usual "spotted", but this lovely 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 was at Prescott last weekend and will be auctioned by Bonhams at Beaulieu next month: http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23594/preview_lot/...

Public car park at the weekend .... where did these all go ?

My neighbour has a couple of these barges stashed away. God knows why!

I wished I'd stashed away a few Escorts fifteen years ago. Different sort of car I know.

Thats a quite well known CSK if Im not mistaken, has appeared in a few magazine articles the owner spent a small fortune restoring it.

Oh I see, that's cool.

It looked nice but had a slightly OTT exhaust.

Great combo of black and tan leather though.

Quite rare spec even when new, as most 2.9s were Scorpio trim

It says 2.0i on the back does it not, although my old man had a non Scorpio 2.9.

I really like seeing these. I ran a S11 4.2 XJ6 for a summer many years ago. Such a lovely way to learn how to weld.
