Orange Vixen/Tuscan this morning

[vixen1700]

Couldn't believe my eyes this morning, on a wet and horrible Monday morning, a lovely orange 'K' reg. Vixen or Tuscan heading towards Saffron Walden.

Anybody on here?

[Mrs Dalesman]

Was it F++777K ?

If so that would be the Vixen 'Griffin' which we restored & modified, was sold to Alec a couple of years ago - he uses it as his daily drive as often as he can. Have seen him post on here but not for a long time.

Not sure about the full reg. But there can't be many orange Vixens in the South Cambs/Essex borders.

He does but travels up and down the country with his job - I think his last spotted in the vixen was on the M25

It would be great to think the car is still looking lovely and running well.

He brought it up to Rochdale when I was living there for me to have a crawl over. I think he is still enjoying it.

Is your errant Brother / Brother in Law going to be at the rock with his newly finished S ?

What Sue hasn't told you is that the vixen in question is powered by a very nice little 1800 Nissan Turbo engine and box, so it is very much up to the task of commuting every day.

I think he will be bobbing around on a boat somewhere by then (Ian is David's brother in law btw)

See you both soon

Well last night I opened up my local Saffron Walden free paper and at the back was a colour advert for a local garage and up on the ramps was a bright orange Vixen registration RTW790K. Above that picture it showed the mechanics working on a red Lamborghini Jalpa.

So not the Nissan engined Vixen.

Wasn't me..... Seems there are a few Orange Vixens out there, not seen another in the flesh yet though, Car mainly used occasional weekends, usually niceish days, but i'm not afraid to use it in the rain either (although you have to go incredibly gently with the old right trotter). Car still looks and runs well.
