Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is on the trailer?

Looks a bit like a Wiesmann Roadster, but I'm not certain.

Wiessman's got tiny doors, that looks more like something that's been converted, looks about the size of a Mk3 MX5..

It was quite Weismann like, wondered whether it was a kit but the finish seemed quite good. Was being towed by a foreign registered van.

Possible rarity?..

Spotted a Vectra GSi last week on the A5 near Cannock. Didn't like them at all when they were out, but this one looked spotless and actually really cool in a 90's nostalgic sort of way!

Didn't get a photo but it was white / white, very much like this:



And according to Wiki:

"Only 3900 2.5 GSi models were ever produced, mostly in saloon and hatchback guise. With only 317 estate versions produced during this time, they became one of the rarest production Vauxhalls ever.

On model years 2001 and 2002, a last of the line 2.6 GSi was made also but these were limited to 500 cars. These were again mostly saloons and hatchbacks however 37 estates were made."

I don't recall the registration, but given the age and type of car, I'd imagine there aren't many left today, especially as clean as this appeared.
I am fairly sure that is a MSD Vectra which is slightly tricked up.

Well, the photo is only a reference as I couldn't snap the actual car I spotted. But it did look very similar and may have had the same wheels, although I only saw it moving for a moment.

Realised I've got a few from Le Mans, not bothered to put them on until now - some may well have been posted:

Isdera Imperator 108i! Tipped off about it in another PH thread: in a closing down Citroen garage owned by the Isdera owner's friend. What a wonderful car!

Full set here: Facebook link.

Video of slow movement but excellent sound here: Facebook link 2





Check out the pedal offset! I bet there aren't many high mileage examples due to back pain. hehe

This is the first 'new' Macca I find desirable. They've done a great job with the styling IMO.

Great spot.
