Saw a convoy of 6 or 7 Weissmans (Weissmen ?) on the A1 south of Dunbar on Sunday. Never seen one in the flesh. Bigger than I expected.
A friend spotted about 30 of them up on the NC500 4 days ago.
Spotted a Dutch registered one on the Cairn o' Mount road last Sunday.

Also spotted two cars in Banchory at the opposite end of the age spectrum....a Lamborghini Urus on the High Street followed a few minutes later by a 1920's Rolls Royce.
We saw the same 30 odd around Perth heading north last Thursday morning. To be honest, didn't know what they were.
Just realised, that convoy (I thought it was closer to 50) was what I saw on May 21st travelling up through the Borders, mostly German but a few Dutch. I was googling " what looks like an Alfa 4c from the front and a TVR from the back?" But Google couldn't help.

I dare say it will be! Can't imagine there's many in regular use.

Yes, but if I'd known to Google Wiesmann, I wouldn't have needed to Google anything.

Sorry, a bit if miss communication here. What I was saying was that I saw the cars and tried Googling all sorts of stuff trying to find out what they were _before_ I saw your post .

There’s also this one. Given the location, I think it might be a more likely candidate

Got between the lines but stopped short, so near but so far. In that colour it's the best looking Bentayga I've seen - if you can ignore the disturbing similarity to a black cab.

In their defence we reckon it's an Extended Wheelbase version, I've seen pickups fit better in those spaces. It didn't even look like a Bentayga, appeared too long and low.

A blue Rover P6 V8 in and about Fife today. Probably the most exciting part of the trip today.
It looked a bit lopsided though.
