Lots out over the weekend - good to see. Three stood out for me: bright yellow '69/'70 Ford Mustang heading towards Weeley on Sat pm, followed grey late First Gen Camaro heading towards Hertford End yesterday pm and a brown Renault 25 on a drive in Clacton - can't remember the last time I saw one of those (pic to follow).

Mk1 Mondeo Estate!

Very rare now, and this was in great condition..... apart from the missing trim smile

Glad I'm not the only one who notices these - early ones are getting very rare. My parents had a '96 Mondy in silver similar to that blue one.

Witham this morning & a green Aston DB7 Volcante and a VW Microbus on a low-loader. Back to Chelmsford on the A12 & 2x MGB's another VW Microbus. Also drove past a garage in Kelvedon & noticed a silver TVR Tuscan and a Lotus Exige MK1.

Another decent weather day so expect to see more later on in Maldon: edited to add saw a yellow 2CV & a black AM Vantage V12 in Danbury this pm.

Saw some sort of pre war MG near Warley yesterday, and a white (with vinyl roof) Silver Shadow 1 coming off of the A127 at the B186 shortly after. Also saw a new Cayman GTS on the A127, and this morning a mamba green Taycan. Not seen one in that colour before. Looked great!

Blue Alpine A110 passing Chatham Green this morning - possibly the same (and only one) that I've seen to date, first spot of one driving though. Toyota FJ passing Great Leighs shortly afterwards, and back in Chelmsford & a black Ford Mach-e on Broomfield Rd.

Nice RS6 spotted yesterday at the Shell Garage in Blackfen.....lowered with some tasty mods and probably running a straight pipe as it sounded like thunder!

Very Clean low mileage E36 328i spotted at Shell Blackfen a few weeks back. Lady driven and got a few appreciating stares.

Mate of mine had a very similar 328ci to that one - corking car, getting very thin on the ground now; that one in the pic looks good.

Lime green Lotus Europa. Billericay. Midday.

Has anyone in Billericay spotted the lads on the Potash Road roundabout taking photo of cars. I think there are several of them. They're not doing any harm

Haven't noticed them, but last time I used that roundabout was in pissing rain in mid-May.

Another one for today: Tesla Roadster outside a dealership on Westway, Chelmsford - don't think I've ever seen one of those.

Good spots......the Joys of classic car ownership.
Was on that same road earlier today and spotted a very nice red 930 turbo and various other classic cars as I headed towards Brands Hatch but no pics unfortunately. Got to remember to mount my dash cam from now on.
