Cool, I've not seen one of those.

For me today a handful of WW2 era military trucks on the A12 nr. Colchester earlier today, assume heading to a show/rally & a red Ferrari 296 on a low-loader on the A12/A120/Ipswich Road roundabout heading into Colchester (assume to the Ferrari showroom).

Earlier in the day in Chelmsford city centre a red BMW M5 (E39) - not seen one of those for a while.

M20 just after 17:00

Lots of decorated cars off to a charity rally, the banana car was a particular highlight. Teenage cancer trust so well done to all participants

Billericay yesterday. I think Crystal Green? Dad had a Capri that colour in the early 80s.

The Sunday events look like they could be good fun - I'm not into those American trucks at all but think they do look pretty cool thumbup

Sun’s out & I was on the A12 & A120 this morning so a decent number of spots:

A12 between Chelmsford – Colchester: pink (!) VW Polo Mk2 Saloon (I think – might’ve been a similar aged Audi), blue AM Cygnet, black First Gen Camaro cabriolet, red C3 Corvette cab, red 3-Series (E30) Bauer Cabriolet, blue RR Silver Spirit and a dark green Daimler SP250 just into Suffolk.

White Ford Scorpio Estate & white Lambo Huracan on the A120 nr. Colchester.

In Chelmsford so far today a blue ‘84/’85 VW Scirocco and a green McLaren 650 Spider (seen that one a few times). Yesterday early evening, a late model, blue Metro.

Spotless Mercedes 280SL (W113) in a sort of metallic mint green in Epping. Reg "280SL" - absolutely stunning!
