I actually went away and checked it wasn’t the one from this DVD series, back before YouTube was a thing.

I'd forgotten about that one

Today: Citroen Light 15 on a drive in Highwood nr. Chelmsford, black Austin/Morris 1100 and an Alvis Scorpion (I think) light tank - outside The Viper pub (I think it belongs to the publican) in Fryerning.

Saturday & an Alpine A110 in black - which really suited it, passing Costa/McDonalds/Shell @ Beaulie Park.

Blue 440 Coronet near Mountnessing Rd

Probably the one I’ve seen before that looks like this (library photo)?

think the stipes were black - but yes

Yes, black stripes. Saw it again yesterday on Billericay high street.

Renault Twizy outside a warehouse in Basildon yesterday - think that's only the second one of those that I've seen.

Also noticed a particularly crusty old BL Mini on a drive on the outskirts of Bas being kept company by an equally knackered M B W123 (I think).

Little Easton Manor (nr. Great Dunmow) car show this morning, first time I've been.

Excellent weather, well organised, really good selection of cars inc 3x Vauxhall Lotus Carlton's & had a very tasty roast dinner there.

Only other one of these I've ever seen lives on the back of a boat moored on the Seine in Paris:



One of the three:



Car of the show for me:






Also clocked a red Ford Anglia & a yellow Hummer H2 (being towed on a trailer by a Range Rover) on & near Roxwell.

The colour of that Porsche is delightful.

I think that it's Krystal or Ocean green - would've asked the chap but he was just leaving before I took that pic.

993's ageing so well.

I think I spotted an S800 earlier today in Hutton

We went along there too - some good cars on display, looks like there were some different ones when we went?

But my personal favourite was the welly throwing contest in the arena - plus being able to get in with the lambs and kids. It was a really nice country show.

Think I was at a different show - didn't see anyone lobbing footwear on Sunday & no sign of any livestock.

The one I went to was called "Classic & Interesting Cars & Roast Dinners" @ Little Easton Manor.

Ah, it may have been the weekend before - the Countess of Warwick Country Show at Little Easton - had some classic cars, rides in old Rolls Royces, Morris men etc... The usual Sunday afternoon in the countryside

That one sounds good too!

Confusion cleared

A Spectre in Warley yesterday, then a Purosangue on the A12 near Danbury later on in the afternoon and then a 993 heading up to Danbury shortly after that.
Also saw a 964 on a truck in the morning but can't remember where. It is the second week in a row that I have seen both a 964 and a 993 on the same day.

Black Ford Crown Vic (Second Gen) on Broomfield Rd in Chelmsford late afternoon today.

[generationx]

These live around the corner from me but it’s the first time I’ve seen them uncovered and off the drive as the owner is having work done on his house. Chevrolet Impalas I believe

[TCEvo]

Silver Porsche 356A on the A414 nr Harlow/M11 junction, yesterday late am & a white, modded Capri evening before in Highwood nr Chelmsford.

[generationx]

Billericay high street today:

Mk1 Ford Escort 1300E (4-door) in either Sebring or Modena green (I think?)

Rubber bumper yellow MG Midget

Coming back to Chelmsford on the A414 & a white Porsche 924 - think the same one that I posted a pic of a few weeks ago - nr the North Weald junction.
