The Kent & Essex Spotted Thread!

[SuperVM]

Yesterday, I was walking through Upminster on my way home from work and I heard what sounded like some American muscle coming from behind me at a fair rate. The car that went past was a blue/green Mercedes W123 (I think), which was a surprise as I'd just seen a Firebird on Station Road, so assumed it was that from the noise. Does anyone know anything about a W123 around the Upminster area that's fairly loud and sounds like an American V8 (for all I know it is running some form of LS conversion)?

Followed a black cab through Maidstone the other day with a PH sticker and 'Neverbeen' 'Ring sticker!

Vauxhall VXR8, Vauxhall Astra VXR burg edition and a White mk2 Focus RS heading towards thurrock in the dartford tunnel. Welldone Astra. What VXR8? ;-)

Was travelling very slow with hazards on then pulled onto the shoulder & stopped may have been something simple like a punture

Burgundy red Mac MP12 in top paddock at Brands today.

New shape Range Rover on Broomfield Road in Chelmsford this morning - carrying a "12" prefix numberplate.

First one I've seen totally undisguised on the road - looked good (even in bright red) and a little smaller than I was expecting.

Presumably these aren't yet on sale so must've been a pre-production test.

Seen a fair few nice cars over the weekend, but did anybody in the Bromley area sport the Lancaster Bomber flying over Bromley approx 3pm on Saturday, was quite a sight!

Dammit, how did I miss that!?

This evening, what looked like a 1970s Aston Martin DBS V8 in light blue on the A232 in Keston this evening around 6pm

Just seen this sitting down in Dover, was a lovely looking thing and must have been 50ft long, TVR sticker at the front.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Beautiful pre-89 911 turbo (930) in immaculate yellow parked in Sainsbury's Locksbottom just now. Somebody in it so only a quick snap from afar.
