Spotted a Saab 900 Turbo today, which followed me from Sidcup area to Chislehurst. Rare sight on the roads these day - I think they're looking better with age!

They sure are - I've seen a couple recently (red one I mentioned at the weekend and a saloon last week), really stand out now as they look so different from almost everything else on the road.

Drove past P&A Wood this morning - couple of RR's outside, inc. one that I think was a 1911 Silver Ghost (it's on their website @ £825k). Silver Shadow heading towards them shortly after.

MGB on tow followed by a Spitfire near Wethersfield, and finally back in Chelmsford, early pm & another Lambo - bright yellow Aventador Spyder on the B1008/Essex Reg Way into Chelms.

Saw a Tuscan on it's way to Billericay this noon

Saw a yellow mk2 Escort and a mini on the back of a truck this morning. Also, forgot I saw a Willys Jeep near SWF the other day and a pre war racer on the A12 last week.

Also saw these last night







And this yesterday morning

White Allegro in Chelmsford earlier - looked tiny compared too the modern kit around it.

" Red Alfa Spider passing Colchester on the A12 this morning - looked tiny in traffic "

I think that was me in my 1986 Spider which I bought just a couple of months ago.

Gold wheels (which looked great)?

'Essex Car Meets' at the Park & Ride car park, Little Channels roundabout, Chelmsford - causing a bit of a tailback this morning.
Mainly modded Japanese cars that stood out but a Porsche 356 (?) and an old Vauxhall Viva were in the queue.

There’s meets at Basildon United FC and the Dick Turpin today as well, may try and get along to at least one.

Spotted at the Hazzard Retro car meeting this morning

Lots of nice cars spotted over the weekend, but most outside of Kent & Essex region! That said I saw a trio of Cobra's at Biggin Hill airport, and an Aston DB6 about 5/10 minutes ago in Hayes.

Black S3 E-Type Cab turning off Roxwell Rd in Chelmsford & the a bright green R8 V10 nr. Fryerning, pm today.

Also noticed very knackered Lotus Elite/Eclat on a drive nr. Hatfield Broadoak that I've not seen before and then another Saab 900 Cab.

Don't know I'm afraid - had a personal plate which read as a blokes name though; sure I've seen that one a few times.

Spotted a black M4 with an enormous gold PH smiley sticker on the rear bumper at Wrotham roundabout for the M26 on Thursday last week. Hat off to you!

Looked like an 812 superfast and a wrapped Aventador on the A414 Danbury.
Lots of meets Sunday so lots of classics about

Was a good meet in Chelmsford, had never been to one of theirs before. Couple of 993 Porsches, kit cars, a triumph few old American things. Obvious line of fiat 500s and focus, Aston's lambos and other shiny stuff. The brick lane bagel van was star of the show for me though.

Dick Turpin had a couple old Aston's, an MG and some old American stuff amongst the usual old fords. We were out for about 6 hours and didn't see one person act like a chavvy nobhead, quite a good couple of meets.

[lukeharding]

Just a few from the past couple of days.

[TCEvo]

Another Porsche Taycan: black one on Dukes Park Industrial Estate in Chelmsford - also the first interesting car I've seen on a "70" plate.

[lukeharding]

A few this afternoon, inc an MG B roadster.

Spotted this one just as I was about to leave work



Went to check on a car I'm having painted and ran into this, owned by a very nice man who was happy to stand and chat to me about this and his other Lotus (es)
