COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!! Vol 2

[droopsnoot]

No, probably not. He did get away from me down the lanes (I am always thinking about how hard it is to replace all the front bits if I do something daft) but not by enough to get down there. And a weird route if that was his destination, too.

Which reminds me - what's happened to LoveOldClassics?

According to his profile page he's never posted anything.

It would appear he's been disappeared.

Yes, pretty surprising.

According to the DVLA it's registered as a Vanden Plas with a date of first registration being June 1987.

Cheers I knew it was a VP, due to the grille.

Thought they were just registered as Austin Allegros and the Vanden Plas was just the trim level.

Not sure whether this should be on this thread or classics left to die rotting! Seen at a rally I was competing in over the weekend, at first I thought it was some sort of advertising thing for a junk shop, till a young couple got in it and drove off! The interior was lined with wall paper and pages from old magazines and it ran as bad as it looks, but off they toddled. And yes, all that tat you see on the roof including pot plants and a plastic doll in a pram, are all part of its' somewhat unorthodox image.

Sorry, no photo, but worth mentioning: red over cream Bugatti Type 57 Ventoux bowling up the M6 yesterday, Cheshire/Lancashire area.

Today I saw about a dozen pre war MGs on the A274 towards Maidstone,

also an MGC and an RV8.

Anyone know what event it was.

Saw a lovely white C3 Corvette in Headcorn too.

Another non photo one: Aston Martin DB2/4 1955 Monte Carlo Rally team car 55DMF (or was it 54DMF?) driving up A43 near Brackley this afternoon. Looked well driven.

No picture, as I was knackered toward the end of a 68 mile bike ride, but I was overtaken today by a Ferret!

Somewhere between Normandy and Pirbright I was aware of what I thought was a van behind me, taking it's sweet time about getting past me. Then I wondered what the whining noise was. All was revealed when a sandy-coloured Ferret Scout Car passed me. Civilian registration, along with what appeared to be trade plates (176 PH - appropriate to a PH-worthy spot, no?)

Something a bit like this...
