North West Spotted Thread (Vol 3)

[Stan the Bat]

A lot of really old stuff along the A41 near Chester on Friday---some sort of rally on ?

[droopsnoot]

Not sure, I saw a pair of 30s-ish Bentleys on Friday afternoon, one on a low-loader and the other a couple of cars behind under its own power.

Just a couple of sightings in Manchester today.

And this AMG GT convertable.

Couldn’t get a picture as I was driving but just spotted a lovely BMW 850CSi turning into the Wirral Custody Suite in Birkenhead.

Must be a solicitor!

I think it was a Westfield in Eccleston, St. Helens today. It was racing green with an aero-screen, driver and passenger wrapped up for an Autumn blast

Lovely blue 1950s delivery van of some kind (likely a Ford Thames) sitting on a drive way in the Skelmersdale area yesterday afternoon.

I assume it's supposed to be a 'T' but what is it really?

[philcray]

I presume it is ERO 71 C, a quick google links it to the Khan car customising empire but somebody else may own the plate now.

Today near Heaton Norris J1WOS , attached to a Mclaren 720S. The area seems to be a bit car haven. Last week I spotted a Lancia Beta coupe parked near the cinema. Tucked away nearby is serial collector who's current motors include a '57 Chevy Belair , a Citroen DS lhd still on french plates, Austin A35 van mint, non running forward control Dodge pickup . In bits but complete in his garden is an early 50's Panhard DynaX 2 door(forsale) and Fiat Topalino Gardinaire(woody bodied estate). Oh and there was back street mechanics with a MK2 Granada Giha X outside last week .

Highly unusual, and very welcome sight in Ashton.

No pics but twice last week I saw a black RR Wraith heading towards M56 along Princess Road. The first sighting was around midnight and couldn't read the small print on the reg plate but it was white characters on a blue background, something like WRMC then 6 digits or so the MC. I saw it again in daylight and it turns out it's registered in Monaco. Both times turned off towards the airport. Seems strange to have a Monaco registered car doing apparently identical airport runs during day and night.

Probably Paul Pogba.

Red Esprit on the St. Helen's link-road. Couldn't make out much on it due to it being low and the central reservation. Noticed union flag badge on the spoiler. Looked great!

Not seen anything remarkable yet, suzuku grey TTRS in Mold today, that's about it sadly.

[Jukebag]

Spotted a black Lotus Esprit (the James Bond model) with a yellowish stripe running along the side heading through Ashton-in-Makerfield towards Garswood on Friday afternoon.

Sandbach seemed to be a hive of activity yesterday for nice motors. Within a couple of hours running about town I spotted:-

Red 488 coupe and a red 488 spyder.
Ferrari 575M in black, looked stunning
Bugatti Veyron in blue/black
McLaren 570S in black
R8 GT Spyder in White with Red accents.
2 x R8 V10 Plus's one in Grey one in blue
AMG GTC in blue.

Blue AC Cobra heading through Whelley in Wigan on Sat afternoon.

Lovely blue 106 Rallye heading onto M6 from Haydock Island. Couldn’t get me phone out quick enough!

[Stan the Bat]

Open topped red Ferrari near Northgate Arena, Chester about 1PM.

Personalized plate something like C7....

Only a fleeting glimpse.
