COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST! (Vol 3)

[phil1066]

Found out some more about this car....1965 Ferrari 275 GTB (UK plated car) seen in Ponsonby, Auckland, NZ. One of only 40 UK right-hand drive examples. Delivered new to Sir Max Aitken and later owned by Lord Anthony Bamford. A total matching number example that’s fresh from a cosmetic restoration and a complete mechanical overhaul. Complete with a wonderful history file which includes its original factory invoice, dealer invoice, period correspondence between Colonel Ronnie Hoare and Sir Max Aitken plus much more. .

Spotted this 18,500kms away from its home. Has an interesting history from memory......

Begs the question, what's it doing in Ponsonby on UK plates?

No picture as it was half a dozen cars ahead and I was driving, but...

...spotted in Bournemouth this afternoon was a 1969 (H) Sunbeam Rapier Fastback.

Similar to this one found on 'flickr'... https://www.flickr.com/photos/67147237@N03/2696518... ...possibly even the same car? The one I spotted had turned left and pulled up in a side street, but I was passed the point of being able to turn safely and considerately before I realised I could have grabbed a picture without having to go into "hot pursuit" mode...

Cool, used-looking Opel Rekord 1900 lurking in suburban Köln

No photos as I was driving - spotted southbound on the A5 this afternoon, an orange early '70s 911 with RS style duck tail, followed about five minutes later by a bright yellow Stag.

Exhaust pipe fail.

[generationx]

Why? Normal exit point for a performance Mk2 exhaust. I’m more upset by the mixed-up decal set and the too-large wheels.


Still would though. .

Why?. .

Because it's the size of a drainpipe and, whilst it'll make a lot of noise, it won't actually measurably improve performance

[generationx]

I had a similar-sized Scorpion chimney on my last RS2. Looked great, sounded better, especially with the twin 45s. Badly modified? Who cares, loved it.

Truck mud flaps are a bit rubbish

Nice RS2000 spot, not seen many black ones.

owned myself 5 times such RS2000 escort mk2, 3 yellow and 2 in orange, good times, felt fast (at the time) wheels spun up fast, specially in corners lol, fine drivers cars at the time and I guess nice classics, they come at a price for good example's.
