Seen twice today around Brighouse / Southowram, a white Ford RS200 (Is there any other colour?!?) with the full bank of dinner-plate sized lights.

There is a white replica RS200 that gets regular use around the area too, so could be that one.
I saw a couple of white fast Fords on the ring road by Ringways yesterday too; Mk1 Escort in rally livery and a K-reg Sierra Cosworth.

Not sure if replica or genuine. Can't remember the plate, but if someone were to tell me it, I'd be able to say if it was that one or not. IYSWIM.

EDITED TO ADD:

In fact. I think it was this one. Plate seems familiar....

I spotted it the other week and it was talked about on the northern retro Facebook page also, it's a replica based on an mr2 if it's same one, reg being D20 0MW.

This made a glorious sound.

A TVR t350 in Halifax last night.

That was heading to the Supercar display near the river Yesterday

I was running an errand in Skelton and I saw in somebody's driveway, the most spectacular car I've ever seen, I won't post the street in case somebody wants to nick it. I saw a Skoda Felicia, that's not all, this Skoda Felicia was matte black with large black alloys!

Anyone else remember a Skoda Felicia in York a few years ago with a Mercedes front end? I wonder if this is the same one.

Guessing its this one that frequents regularly...


There is a nice grey DB11 that often parks a little further down also.

Spotted a blue Audi R8 on the A64 in the outskirts of Scarborough and a Porsche Caymen S with a nice reg 'so loud' whilst going through Foxholes

Orange framed kit car, in an Ariel / MEV style in Birdwell yesterday about 5:00 anyone?

Also 2 Lotus exiges together over the weekend on Dodworth bypass, assume coming from the carding shed given their direction of travel.

[v15ben]

Followed a stunning white Ferrari 488 from New Farnley down Whitehall Road yesterday evening, but I was almost more impressed by the pristine silver B-reg Rover SD1 by Granary Wharf an hour later.

[andburg]

Another one i just remembered, what must be a an absolute rarity.

Rover 75 on the M1 northbound just before the M62 last night about 7:30

whats so rare? given the front bumper it was the facelifted V8 although it peeled off without overtaking me so i didnt see the back.

Exocent maybe? I know that bloke lives around there.

[escortcab]

I know they are not going to be on here but a rare sight 5 x convertible bugs travelling towards Hull on the A1079 all with roofs down. Lol little did they know there was a weather squall where they were heading, which I had just driven through.


Edit,
I wasn't going to edit the dashcam but thought I'd share them as it was a rare sight.

I'd guess the owner was trying to give it a give shake down, despite being on a SORN?
