The 2014 Yorkshire Spotted Thread

[TheBALDpuma]

A red F-type V8 coupe by Greengates Sainsbury's.

Got to be the best looking/sounding car for sale at the moment. Red lookd amazing as well.

Saw a Ferrari 456 on Fulford Road at around midday on Saturday.

A superb little MG in guiseley today. Was a little hard top sports car, red with a white circle on the door. Said something like twin cam on the back

Just a wild guess you understand but almost certainly an MGA..err..Twin Cam

Very rare car these days and worth a hell of a lot more than you may expect.

Yet another red/orange MGB GT today at Horbury Bridge. Summer must be round the corner...

I know nothing about fiats, but saw a very old (1950's/60's I would say) red Abarth in Sheffield near the Arts Tower roundabout earlier today. Looked a bit like a 500 but slightly bigger, no idea what it was though....

Looked great anyway

Edit: a quick google search reveals it might have been a 600?

Just spied a silver NSX joining the M1 northbound at jc32 and leaving at jc33 heading towards Rotheham.

I know what an MGA is, but never seen a hard top, or one stripped for racing like this. I'll post up a crap phone pic

Green MG ZT 260 V8 pressing on at the Colton roundabout of the M1 heading down to Garforth. Proper Q Car.

Lovely thing. Every one I've rallied or raced against has the hard top on. I much prefer the coupe look.

I'm doing well for being spotted Considering it's the most discreet car I've owned for a while I hope it's not my driving style that's making people look

Thanks, I'm pretty sure that would be me! Not far from work there. What were you in? I'll be annoyed with myself if I didn't notice something with the presence of an 840!

Apologies for the "pressing on", that roundabout eggs you on as sometimes if you make an effort you just get through the next lights *just* before they change...other times it makes you look a dick as they either stay green for ages or go red way before you get to them.

The 430 and the Gallardo that are often parked outside there (usually Tuesday nights) are owned by Ubbs' brother I believe. Not sure of his association with Elbow rooms but used to be there every week on a Tues night as I walked past.
