The Kent & Essex Spotted Thread!

[lukeharding]

Loads again yesterday and this morning, including another TVR, a couple of Morgans, a Porsche 356, a white facelift XJS, a caterham style kit car, a couple of Taycans and other stuff. Plus a couple that I can't add the photos of at the moment

Bright yellow Chim on the seafront at Chalkwell this morning, just as I was finishing my run.

Roof on though

[lukeharding]

A few from today, also saw a DBX and a V8V ( and another TVR yesterday evening)

[TCEvo]

Beetles seem to be popping up loads at the moment.

Ferrari 488 on the outskirts of Braintree & a Morgan nr Castle Hedingham for me today & a red '70's style US van on a drive in Moulsham, Chelmsford that I'd not seen before yesterday evening.

Edited to add love that Europa & the RR coupe.

Yes I've seen plenty of Beetles. I was very happy to see the Europa as I'd love to own one.

Also saw a '40s American car in Herongate yesterday.

Former colleague of mine has an early Europa - he & his father built it from kit (apparently as you could originally buy them). It's been featured in one of the classic mags in the past & is a corker.

Saw an interesting bunch on a drive in Holland-On-Sea today: 928 S2, 911 (996), Rover P5 Coupe, replica Lambo Countach QV, Merc SEC & a modern(ish) SL.

Same road & another old VW - mid-'50's splitscreen style Microbus and an '80's Chevy van.

Later in the afternoon & a bright blue Cayman GT4 on the A12 passing Chelmsford and a black McLaren at the Miami Tesco.

Fair cop with the roof but it was the only way I could use the car for that trip as my Daughter had just straightened her hair for work and wouldn't go with the roof down Normal service has now been resumed

[Dr Nookie]

A squad (if that’s the collective term) of M’s on the A12 heading Colchester way today.
M2,3,4 and 5 all driven with enthusiasm...

[irocfan]

White McLaren Shenfield earlier
Gaggle of Vespas/Lambrettas junction of Rawreth Lane and Chelmsford Road

[TCEvo]

Followed a '21 plate Aston DBS through Highwood this pm & a Ferrari F12 and an early blue Fiat Uno in Writtle shortly afterwards.

[HughG]

I had a run over to the Ashdown Forest this morning and came across a group of 4x McLarens, a 991 GT3, 981 Spyder and an E92 M3 and briefly had a bit of a play before they stopped to regroup in Groombridge.

[TCEvo]

Surprisingly only one today - purple Corrado in Chelmsford city centre, late morning.

Haha - I’ll let you off this time

Not even sure where my roof is! Might be in the loft somewhere

[lukeharding]

So many cars over the weekend. A Camaro ZL1 and GT2 RS in Bicnacre, and a C3 Corvette shortly after, a couple of M cars with an Escort Cosworth near Steeple. A Lotus Exile 410 (I think) near Purleigh. A couple more Beetles on the A127. Just seen a facelift XJS on a trailer on the A127 this morning too.

ETA - I forgot an absolutely gorgeous Chrysler 300H Convertible (I think) at the Asda in SWF

Today and a black & red Citroen 2CV near BBC Essex in Chelmsford early pm today & a white Opel Manta GTE on a ramp in one of the garages on the Tallon Road Estate in Hutton a little later on.

[TCEvo]

Wed & another new BMW M4 at Chelmsford's BMW dealership. This one in very dark blue; which helped the looks, although parking it opposite a light grey previous shape M3 didn't.

[pincher]

I saw that very one the other day - looked rather smart compared to the lighter coloured ones. Certainly hid the grille rather well

[TCEvo]

Saw another M4 in Chelmsford this pm - also dark blue (might've been the first one on a test drive...).

Also a Ford Mach passing Chelmsford BMW dealership and a rarity: (driving) Rover 800 Fastback in SWF.

[lukeharding]

A nice Bentley Mulsanne near North Fambridge today.
