Used as a daily driver by a young chap (30s I would guess).

Early car, maybe a sharktooth one.

Unusual colour scheme, nice.

Underated cars the P6. I love mine.

A photo of the front…

my last 9 pictures of the classic/youngtimer cars spotted on that small event.







no idea who's car that Z3 is...

[Rumblestripe]

Modern paint colour but that little 500 looks brilliant in that "radioactive frog green".

Looks a similar shade to my old dad’s Fiat Supermirafiori. The colour was called Kent Green in the UK. He quite liked it, as he never had trouble finding the car in a car park.

Do you have any videos of your Z3 being driven? I remember seeing the adverts when it was for sale previously and thought it looked superb fun, a nice conversion.

Agreed!

The Rover P6 looks great in that colour too! Miles better than the usual brown or beige.

Thanks, no sadly no video's of the Z3 being driven, the sound inside is great, also when driven slowly, the car connects, of course all new bushings around in poly helps incl the suspension and other changes.

and yes its still for sale, many who save the ad, some email and or some have a trade-in that I can't do anything with, I don't mean my kind of car at all, or large or even a boat hahah, but only 1 person has ever really been there, but he had some strange suggestions which I could not do anything with or would be very difficult.

so... it is still here, but I am not in a hurry, but I want to buy a Donkervoort D8 GTO-RS or something like that, then it really has to go, trading in is usually difficult for those who have a Donkervoort, but with cash you can also make a better deal.

A mate of mine just bought this:



It’s a 25 year old EV, there are a handful left.

It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it’s certainly interesting & definitely a future classic.

Surely at that age the potential for catastrophic expense increases rapidly?

My mate is a bit of an EV evangelist & was a very early adopter.

He has a Tesla Model 3 but wanted this as a classic.

That was our family car back in the day. Same colour, same model - 1303 with the elephant's foot taillights, impact absorbing dash and 4 spoke wheel, XWY 184L. Dad bought it when it was a few months old from North Riding Motors in York and chopped it in for a first gen Passat a couple of years later - dad loved the shape but he and my mum hated driving it - it wondered all over the road at speed and had no go. He said that the Passat was like moving forward 30 years (which is literally true)!!.

My daughter sent me this photo of a car she saw in Melbourne over the weekend. I have no idea what it is, but I have no doubt someone on here will know!

[fourfoldroot]

Lovely patinated 30/98 Vauxhall at Chatsworth this weekend. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a detachable hard top on a car this old. 1926 ish?

Looks like a Plymouth Valiant

[Ambleton]

Saw this little number out yesterday.

Lovely but utterly ridiculous for road use!

I won't fit, I bet it's loud, smelly, shakey and hot. I can't afford it (or the upkeep) but I still want it.

[LotusOmega375D]

Wow, mega spot! Lola T70 Mk3B. We used to have a road converted Lola, but it was mere T590 Sports 2000.

[dinkel]

I tried one in 2009 and it's amazing how cramped it is inside

My feet did not fit... Which is kinda crucial with a hot 302 lump on tap

Huge rubber so maybe it's OK on the road

So much want for one of those.
