Yorkshire Spotted Thread

Quite a collection of older cars out at the coast today - first we bumped into a small group of older Austin's or similar, but then came a dozen or more 70s/80s old Fiats wearing Italian plates - 131s - a Strada convertible. Many young drivers and stunning cars.
Anyone else seen them - know what they are doing ? Haven't found anything online as yet - nearest thing seems to be a classics event at Castle Howard.

It was 3MA, an annual international meeting of Fiat 131 owners and their cars, this year held in North Yorkshire.

Saw a yellow 993 joining the A1079 towards the Humber Bridge. I was in the black Vantage.

Spotted some of them near Kilnsey earlier this afternoon.

Also a decent wodge of Bentleys new and old just outside Leyburn.

Very loud metallic orange Audi R8 at about 7:20 this evening ... came down my street (Bingley) and turned round before heading off again. Heard it a long time before I saw it. Made me grin just a bit!

I saw a clio RS that had rear ended another RS, that looked to be on a run out just North of Otley with a bunch of Renaults and VWs I think. Unfortunately it looked like the passenger head butted the windscreen. I hope everyone was okay.

Impressive - a decade of meeting up in such rare cars and quite long distances that some have come.
I particularly liked the year they took their cars back to the factory - something I did a month ago with my S124.

I saw a white stripped and caged Clio RS coming out of Wakefield early yesterday morning, sounded great - perhaps he was heading up to this, hope it wasn't involved, looked quite special.

Comically loud... in a good way!

Yep - plate shows 458 belonging to Carl Hartley (although shows up as being registered to his Veyron). Porsche is rumoured to be John Holland? Bad smash either way!

996 GT3 passing through Malton earlier on, in a different shade of red(?) to the norm, could have been Zanzibar??

Very nice indeed.

Spotted this in Moortown Leeds, must of been picking something up from Argos i was telling myself.

Parked tonight on Marine Drive while in the cafe. Usual car - only occasionally have I seen a Bentley or Rolls when he comes here for the weekend.
