The 2017 Yorkshire Spotted Thread

[LeighB]

Nearly forgot, saw this little beauty last week in Haxby Village. Must have had an engine update as it was sporting some 24V stickers.

So Reg checking it shows it's a 1600L with a 2935cc lump. So which 3.0l Ford V6 motors have a 24V setup?

The 3l from the Mondeo?

Remember the bug eyed Scorpio (mid 90's) which took over from the Granada. Lots of Sierra's, Capri's and other older RWD Fords have transplanted this Cosworth Developed DOHC 24V V6 Cologne Engine.

Yep, also a conversion that has been done on a few TVR S series swapping out the 2.8/2.9 V6 for the 24V one.

Silver R36 Passat estate this morning following me on Rooley Lane, Bradford.

[richatnort]

Black 458 heading down scott hall road this morning.

[Feirny]

Another Silver Tuscan on the A1 south last night just north of Doncaster.

[Vaud]

Is there a McLaren 570 Spider press car? It was a passing glance, but I could have sworn I saw one on the A65.

Possibly Giblet in his Evo on the ring road at the Adel traffic lights at about 7pm...?

Also followed a turqiouse M2 - looked great, and passed a white 1M coming out of McDonalds on the ring road.

Finally a Ferrari 360 heading up the big hill towards horsforth from Rodley Roundabout, plate V8 ***

Sadly not, mines away for some work. I've been driving something different but haven't been spotted by anyone yet!

Splitting my time between these two at the moment -



Love them both and I'm equally happy driving either, much to the confusion of most people.

I had a white 216 as my first car!

Never had a 4c though, but there is time!

[Shnozz]

Be interested to hear your views on the 4C Giblet. Was offered a cracking lease deal on one recently and was tempted either alongside or even instead of my daily.

Saw a black Giulia Quadrifoglio on Lord Mayors Walk at about 11pm, didn't realise it was possible but it looks even better at night, actually looked evil.

As with most things in life, a sense of balance is always good.

I also had a 216 as my first car and a few others since. This one has just under 30k on the clock. Sadly one side is a tad dented. I remember your 216, coupe bumpers and 16" hairpins right?

That Rover is a beast
Like the 4C a lot though, wouldn't mind having a look round it at a meet soon.

I should be at the B&Q meet for a bit tomorrow if you fancy a look around?

I've not driven anything like it before. It's pretty raw and every drive feels like an event. It attracts a lot of attention, all good so far. Still annoying as I'm not exactly someone who likes the attention! Only had it for 2 weeks, managed 500 miles in it so far. What deal were you offered?

Haha yeah that was me!

I might have seen the same one today around 1pm in Strensall

a bit earlier today I also saw a silver Porsche Carrera GT heading towards old Earswick same as this pic

Not sure but I do remember you from my Rovertech days. I think you either sold or bought an induction kit from my brother at some point too.

All sorts of stuff out in the nice weather today. Stand outs include a 458 Italia in Kirkstall, a DB9 hooning in West Park and a blue Fiat coupe turbo that I had a play with near Pool Bank this evening.

Oh and Paul's lovely Viper at the B&Q meet
