Triple score.

DB7,RR Silver Shadow and a Lancia on the 2nd ramps in.



Quadruple if you're a Multipla fan....

...and is that a R129 behind the RR?

Yes,I think so.

Late 60's pre facelift Type 3



I've been running past that for at least the last 2 years - how do they get away with not registering it in the UK?

Palace Motors is not far from there - currently awaiting attention are a '74 3.0CSi, '81 280SL, '93 300SL, '66 Mustang, and a '97 840Ci - not bad for a local garage.

I thought my luck had peaked on Tuesday when I spotted an HRG, but no! Today I saw a 1960s Norton and then a very exciting car that I couldn't identify. I did wonder if it was a Riley, but couldn't be certain so I had to Google the reg. Have a butcher's at this (MPO 79): https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=riley+treen&...

Brilliant.

Lovely looking rorty sounding Healey 100 on Bushmead Rd in Eaton Socon -

Not just a Healey 100, but a Healey 100S - though according to http://healey.org/about-healeys/special-cars/220-1... that registration number was changed at some time.

It's a 1963-model or earlier bought new in Norway. First time of registration was on the 22th. of May 1963.

I doubt it have stayed continuously in the UK through those two years as it must at least have been in Norway in late 2013 to get its current MOT. I would guess the owner is a Norwegian studying in London.

Very pleased to be able to catch this very smart Gordon Keeble for a shot passing by on the A14 near Godmanchester last Friday! Am I right in assuming only 30 or so of these exist?...

I think that it may have been on display at Shelsley Walsh on Sunday. A brilliant day out, even my wife wants to go back next year and she doesn't do "Car things".

If you go and have a look at the GK website, it'll tell you where all of the 99 are ...

Don't judge a book by it's cover - the '74 CSi is actually harbouring a LS1 V8 - sacrilege..

Bit of a cheat taking pics at an American car specialist but these 3 stand out.







The first version of the Thunderbird is possibly my favourite American car.

I know the driver. He does Big Healey and Sprite race prep and was at Silverstone last weekend

Renault 4



That's Agar Grove NW1, I was going to take a picture too, but you beat me too it.

[iva cosworth]

I was told by the garage owner that this car was built in 2010, not rebuilt,from all new parts.

From a quick look it is believable.

[Dapster]

Tucked in a back street near Warren Street Tube Station, this 1972 Scimitar. Unusual colour - is it original? It's sort of a dark metallic blue/green.

Not clear in the pic but it's dark brown.

Indeed it is.



This is parked up the road too as well as a smattering of other interesting metal.

Yup

More info here - Don't know how much it would be worth but he will never get his money back I reckon

Yes, my 1970 GTE was originally that colour, it's called Carribean Green

Thanks for that.

The garage man also mentioned the £120K that is stated in the article.
