The South West spotted thread! (Vol 2)

[Mark-Clio182Trophy]

Must be the weather as also saw a very modern looking Aston Martin, a couple of Renault Sports, a nicely modified Imp (possibly a Singer as think it had a sloped roof?), an Elise and a 'sit up and beg' Ford Pop. All on the Falmouth Road.

You might well be on point there. I didn’t see anything exciting today but most of my miles were o. The A30. However there did seem to be an above average number of classics around.

I did wonder if maybe it was FBHC Drive it Day but that was 23rd April.

I think Bodmin Rotary had organised a classics run around Cornwall.

Black MX5 on the M5 Avonmouth Bridge this evening with a tiny smiley on the boot. First time I've seen a sticker in a long time

Read 80s shape Camaro with a big blower sticking through the bonnet in Ivybridge this afternoon. Looked ace🏁

I might have seen the same one yesterday on the A30 heading East towards Exeter.

24h lemans sticker on the back

Couple today. Some kind of bright yellow vaguely 60s Le Man's car looking kit car thing coming through the lights at Painswick. Then followed a red 458 Spyder down the hill towards the Witcombes.

Went to Bideford Festival of transport yesterday and obviously saw lots of noteworthy cars there, but PH wise, an NSX with a smiley on the back, lovely motor, who's was that?

I didn’t head up, but looks like one for the diary next year.

Unfortunately, was heading in the opposite direction to grab a shot but I spotted a orange GMA T50 on the A38 Plymouth bound, near Exeter, Thursday early evening.

Spotted it and thought that looks cool no idea it was a T50, until I spotted the fan on the back as it went past.
Really small and from a brief glance very nice, I expect one of the test cars.

That’s a pretty unusual spot!

Few days ago now but spotted a Gulf coloured Ford GT on Falmouth Rd near Truro. Looked pretty special.

That night have been the car at the Colourworx meet last weekend. Off to Watergate Sprint today where there will probably be some interesting toys.

There was plenty of interesting kit at Tregrehan Hillclimb today. But the drive of this 600LT gets the award for having faith in thee ground clearance. And I thought I was brave taking my M3 in!

Proper classic Mustang in Truro today. Looked and sounded epic.

Was it a blue convertible by chance? We saw one heading out of Lifton yesterday when we were headed to South West Lotus Centre open day.

It looked black but maybe dark blue? I saw it head on but think it was a coupe unless they had the roof up? Sorry, not much use am I.

Off to Tregrehan hillclimb a little later so hoping to see some interesting cars.
