The 2017 Yorkshire Spotted Thread

306 could well me your good lady, Andy. Can't remember seeing another Mk2 one in years!

Wills, saw you heading up the hill from the Lotus garage roundabout yesterday morning. Recognised the number plate.

[KarlMac]

Was following a green Bini through Anston near Sheffield that had a pH sticker on the rear bumper.

306 Rallye is probably Mrs Chev. In fact if it had the windows down doing a tunnel run then it was definitely Mrs Chev.

Does Mrs Chev drive/live around Hyde Park? Saw a black Rallye a few weeks ago driven by a lady (**** LOP I remember).


Had some sort of Mclaren P1 (MK 37 or something like that) behind me just before the Hunslet fly-over.

I love seeing really old "normal" cars that have been saved, the Montego L brought a smile to my face in a way a modern sports car doesn't (even though I'd want the Merc GTS!)

I usually just post the random stuff as far rarer and more eye-catching.

Two crackers being towed on the M62 yesterday, going west between 36 & 37 at 1130ish. First a white Interceptor, almost identical plate to the Wheeler Dealers one, then five minutes later a Vauxhall Cav Coupe.

Talking of random, I saw the almost holy grail yesterday, a Montego van!
Not in Yorkshire though, but in a little village near Alston in Cumbria.

Never come across a Montego van before......

[v15ben]

A bit more googling reveals there is no such thing. What I saw was a Maestro 700L van in fact.
I feel we might be getting a bit off topic here

A64 this morning, going towards the coast and coming the opposite way near York, yes, a white Montego estate car.....

It's a 5.5 V8 S500.

Yup.

MERCEDES S500 L AUTO 2007

Nope it definitely says AMG V12 BiTurbo on the side. And the back was either SL65, S65, S55 or SL55. Just a bit too far away at an odd angle for my eyes.

[VictoriaYorks]

A search of the reg says S500 L

The reg and VIN in the Mercedes part system comes back as an S500.

[Mr Overheads]

Must just be expensive bodykit and fake V12 badges then (or someone has spent a fortune taking out the V8 and putting in a V12).

Yeah - that's her. She works near there. T-LOP has a couple of Goodwood and Spa-Francorchamps stickers in deference to her favourite events!

Keep searching my young padawan...let the Montego flow through you.

[Shnozz]

A red C63 AMG black edition with various canards, a large wing and a fruity exhaust lapping past the Queens and then down Wellington Street as I walked home tonight. Middle Easten plate on it - possibly a KSA plate.

I do have a pic but its blurry.

PH stickered RX8 in Malham earlier today

Not sure I'd fancy a Montego flowing through me tbh

Bloody murky weather! Fine couple of days me and the Mrs. chose to stay on the edge of the Dales! Ended up dropping down to Settle and going off to the Trafford Centre...
