The pick for me. Nice selection Munch.

If you didn't know, the top car is a Nash-Healey.

Thanks for the information, that's the first time I've seen it. Nice.

I saw on Instagram that there was a grey 600 pullman somewhere in London today parked up - it looked great in the pics.

Would love to see it. Extraordinary cars.

With the level of technology for the time, and the pervasive engineering that went into them, they made the equivalent Rolls-Royces of the period look like comedy sketches.

My favourite story of the 600, is from the fabled 'Operation Thunderbolt', the Israeli special forces raid on Entebbe airport in 1977. Story has it, that whilst Idi Amin was wandering around the segregated groups of hostages in the airport, gregariously acknowledging the frightened people with 'Shalom, shalom...', grinning away, that a 600 was flown in on a Hercules, dressed up to look like one from Amin's presidential fleet. Full of assault troops....



I like that. Thinking outside the box.

I guess it'll be this one, saw it on Thursday.



This was also parked just around the corner.

Gembella Avalanche 930. And that angle is probably it's most flattering.

I must be the only one who loves the LaFerrari

I do. I'd rather have one than the McLaren P1.

Same here, LaFerrari over P1 all day, IMO it's a fantastic looking car.

Penfolds, you are a star. Thank you. Almost the perfect classic two-car strategy, right there. 600 Pullman for skip runs, taking biddies to Heathrow, and the Aston for when you have to quickly get to the marina, or Arabella wants to hit Harvey Nicks.

Love the mews' paint scheme - very 'in' these days. Looks like Night Jewels 1!

Eeeekkkk, hope he didn't hit that stone thing...

I NEED that car in my life

[buckline]

A word of thanks to the chaps in the Z8 following me along the A11 / A14 toward the M11 today. I was in the M135 being put firmly in my place. Great car.

Sometimes I wonder if Tigerkoi was the founder of Wikipedia the info he comes out with. haha... You know your stuff that's for sure!

Regards to the Gemballa 930... it looked fecking awful IMO. 6 exhaust pipes (because you need that many) and intakes everywhere

[Callughan]

Gemballa 930 is one of four and was $250k new in 1986. Engine made by Ruf! One of my dream cars growing up.

[AstonZagato]

I remember a bit on Top Gear when Clarkson and May were comparing their classic respective limos. Clarkson had a 600 and May a Corniche. The last service on the Grosser was something like £20k.

Also saw this little Fiat Zagato today and managed to get a snap on my phone.

Double Bubble! Surprisingly affordable - considering it's a Zagato - classic...

And just behind Finchley Road too. Used to live a bit further down from the Waitrose. In 1993 the IRA set off three or four bombs nearby - blew out all our double glazing!

just one line at the start and end, hardly doing any harm
the name on the photo is more for if anyone takes and it reuploads
the line is easy to copy and paste if someone wants to
