Now we're talking.
Though I bet he doesn't use his windscreen wipers that often.

Bugger me, Knutsford Wine Bar. Those couple of spaces outside are very much in demand from the local poseurs. I remember 2 Lambos outside on British Grand Prix day a few years ago.

As an aside I was working in Knutsford a few years ago, and after work we went there for a drink. There was a young spotty guitarist doing a live set. At the end of it there was the tiniest ripple of applause from the scant crowd of suits. He held both arms up to the stars and uttered the immortal words "Goodnight Knutsford" like Hendrix may have closed a gig at Maddison Square Gardens - it was brilliant!

I spoke to a local taxi driver and he said 2 brothers living in Knutsford own a Muchialago each - same pair?

not for me thanks. I know it's a seminal classic, but i think it looks like a horrific ebay modified cross between an amphi-car and a pickup truck.

Sorry have to disagree this has always been one of my favourite lotus cars, there was one near me when I was a kid always thought it looked great. Did spend most of its time being fixed though but suppose that is part of the joy of owning a lotus. What was the old saying lots of trouble usually serious

Yes, I would think it is the same pair. Some serious posing!!

More cheating but where's the rules for this thread ?...

[mark387mw]

Loose rules from the OP from Sunday 22nd April 2007;

I see quite a few really nice classic cars... I'll start with what I saw yesterday

[72twink]

Lovely white Climax Elite just leaving my village as I drove back in - as always the best spots are when driving

[wibble cb]

Went to a car show in Hollywood, FL, nothing much of note, except these 2...



yes, that says 'cobra'.....



This wasn't even in the show, it a copy, but a good one, not sure its a classic?

I hope he's done something with the brakes, and the suspension... and everything else.

• Made between '64 and '65
• Just six were made
• Successful in Le Mans and other endurance races
• Gave the Italians a run for their money

That makes a classic to me, replica or not.

Saw this on the streets of Bloomsbury this afternoon.... LHD, yellow headlights and UK plates.

That's the sort of thing Rolymo would have built

[ToneyCaroney]

3 spots from Sunday. All within a few dozen yards of each other.

I'd expect nothing less in Primrose Hill. You'll occasionally see my Frogeye outside the fishmongers. I do realise how naff that sounds!

Indeed!

Yes, always some nice stuff round there. Last summer I was enjoying a pint outside the Princess of Wales when the Jacques Swaters Ferrari 166 barchetta came bumbling past. Can't really beat that.....

I spotted a couple of Vee-Dubs a few yards away from each other, both looking slightly run-down, although I dig the wheels on the Beetle.

I also peeked over a garden wall and saw a very accurate OFAH Reliant Regal.
