Worst car spot

[KEN33Y]

Filling up at ASDA filling station Dowlais a Mk4 Cortina (yes I'm old enough to remember them) came in however, this was a convertable. Now I cannot remember Ford making a soft top version and it was clear someone had chopped the roof of this car badly and the roof was not much better.

At the other end of the scale and possibly a 'best car spot', I followed a La Ferrari off the channel tunnel train last night! Absolutely stunning.

Yes I know I should post this in the Kent forum but I live in south wales and came across this thread so.............!

Believe that would be a Crayford. My father has a Mk2 Crayford Cortina.

Crayford bought a limited number of Cortinas brand new and factory chopped them for resale.

I'd say Duncan Barber. Usually spotted driving around Bridgend with 'FLY' number plates. He's got the biggest Ferrari collection in Wales inc an F40, 288 GTO & an Enzo!

Ah - seen a few of his cars sat in Dick Lovetts showroom on Penarth Rd before. Seems like he has the right cars and good numbers to qualify for a LaF!

The Cortina is by far a better spot as far as I am concerned. I Could go down the Liberty with my camera......................only I have a life.

You forgot the XJ220. The DB5 & reg were apparently a birthday present from his partner.
