Spotted while taking the woofer out the other day. Still have a hankering for a Black one of these after watching "Condorman" as a kid.

Just need to convince the boss that its a practical daily!!

Ah yes the majestic car chases of that fine film 'Condorman' . Funnily I don't think I have ever seen that film shown as a repeat anywhere at any time, but like you I was mesmerised as a kid by the hoard of black 911's of that period being destroyed during the film. I still think Black is the best colour for a Porsche. Great memories, Thanks.

I need to find a copy on DVD.... not that much on google either - but this shot is probably responsbile for my desire for a black 911

Was out for a drive today when I came upon this at the side of the road... (That's my lil' baby parked up behind it in the first photo)





Immaculate condition, and a beautiful colour too..

Both illegally parked (opposite the junction) and the Aston is obstructing a dropped kerb.

Did you require a Taxi to the pavement?

You're right about it being a lovely car by the way

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this one? Anyway this is for a most interesting old boy I met in Cornwall recently who would like to know what this car is. Turn of century and this was the first car in Truro apparently and belonged to the Bishop. Thanks in advance.

Looks like a 1906 Napier Type L to me ???

I don't think so, seeing as it has a painted radiator surround and white tyres.

thanks roy c.
ive just ran a DVLA check and she comes back as made in 1936 with a 1303cc engine, so would this make it a P1, as P2 started in 37 (wikipedia) and as it has the smaller motor, be a 4 rather than the larger 1.5 engine which might be in the 6

im not saying it is, just from the info i have put together, thanks for your input so far

is this deemed a true classic yet? spotted in central london last week

Oh yes- definitely a classic/ the 911 is iconic and the 993 one of the nicest looking.....

Yes, I think you are right. It's a late Rover P1 or as it would have been known at the time, "Rover 10" (denoting the RAC HP rating).

I saw this Land-rover in Battle yesterday.

It's a Jota! I saw it go past the side of may car and it said 1000cc Jota on it - ffs!

And Mirage's were 1200cc anyway ...

A 1300 estate. That must be a rare car nowadays? I don't recall seeing too many back in the 70's and although I've seen plenty of 1100s and 1300s about the place more recently, I've not seen any estates.

Maybe the owner is a Basil Fawlty fan?

Spotted a week or so ago in Brighton. Suitably aged couple in it. Not concours but in very good condition. Mate had a coupe back in the day. Loved it although he had to sell it as it gave him a bad back (and a very bad wallet lol)
