Spotted....

[mark387mw]

Lots of 'art deco' stuff about and a car from my earlier days - a Fiat X1/9.

I'm guessing a Sunbeam Car Club are in town - a Tiger and 2 Alpines spotted.

New here but here is some recent Auckland cars spotted:

- Mclaren Spider (On the North Western - seen multiple times)
- Matte Black Aventador (Batman themed, in Newmarket)

There seems to be a large increase in young foreigners taking their exotics out on the weekend. Easy spotting in Newmarket on Saturdays!

Spotted a Chimaera in Porirua, I saw it coming out of a side turning and had to pull over and wait, then followed (stalked) it from Paremata round Pauatahanui inlet, basking in the exhaust noise.
It's a green (maybe cureton) late model 450, probably decatted by the light pops from the exhausts.
I miss my Avus blue Chimaera. Darn you NZ Transport Agency, why couldn't you have brought SIVs in sooner?!

Saw these TVRs doing a run from Chch to Kaikoura stopping for coffee at Mt Lyford and lunch at the Waiau Pub....mines the 3rd from the right.

Spotted a black McLaren MP4-12C in Havelock North today - quite nice looking aren't they!

Silver NSX out the back of Riversdale yesterday... don't see many of them around

Stunning white McLaren 12C spotted coming from Orakei then going up Parnell Rise in Auckland today. Looked good in the pouring rain.

This E Type in Havelock North today.

White 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo spotted just now picking up his take-away.

A white Reliant Robin on a trailer heading into Belfast last Saturday. Looked pretty shiny. I've also seen a gold Smart Roadster on the Northern Motorway a few times too.

I've just seen one of these going down the seafront in Nelson. Had to look it up online when I got home, never heard of one before.
It's a Campagna T-Rex 16s...

This was at the Autospectacular in Dunedin on Saturday. Very, very nicely done 250 GTO replica with Colombo V12 from a 365 which is, I believe, the car shown about 20 posts back. Rod Tempero certainly does very accurate and beautiful work.

Just saw you/heard you lot + a Lancia Integrale rumble through Glentunnel in the rain, guessing you were on the way to Terrace Downs for coffee?

Was the F150 Raptor part of the run or a support vehicle?

BMW Z1 in Rangiora, then a yike bike

NZ Classic Car have spotted this:

Saw the Tesla Model S that's travelling the country heading into Christchurch on the Northern motorway a few days ago.

Ooh, just had a thought, it hasn't got pistons, so I'll have to pretend I didn't see it.

There are two. One red and one green. Which did you see.

I've wondered about the lack of pistons comment. Therefore never posted anything about my day at Ruapuna in one. Although there is are posts about rotary engine cars.
