Chelmsford - Basildon via Billericay this morning and saw: red Ferrari 512 BB, silver E38 7-Series, green modded Second Gen Chevy Impala, black D-reg Renault 9 3-door hatch, blue modded Beetle, yellow Lotus Emira and back in Chelms, a blue over silver First Gen, 1989 Mitsubishi Shogun, red Jowett Jupiter and v.clean sand/beige SII Landie LWB.

I think that yellow NSX is local - I've seen it a couple of times, cool car.

Spotted a Red Lotus Emira twice yesterday, second time near Goldhanger.

Looked very Ferrari esque as it was in a red akin to Rosso Corsa.

Driven spiritedly and looked great.

Followed a grey 911 (997) GT3 up the M11 from the M25 this afternoon & also clocked a TR7 going the opposite way.

Not Essex, but also saw a yellow, late model Lambi Diablo, white Koenigsegg & brown, early 911 Targa and a mean, green Ford Model A hotrod on the M25.

Blue/white Beetle parked by The Wheatsheaf pub & a dark blue 911 (993) nearby in Chelmsford this morning.

Later in the day & a grey Vauxhall Calibra on a drive in Witham that I've not noticed before.

I saw what I can only think is a Lotus Emeya in the wild earlier in Colchester. Maybe I'm mistaken, but it was new, Lotus, 4 door, and NOT the 4x4 thing.

Also, a very wide black Mustang Cobra (new shape), sounded brutal.

The Colchester Lotus dealer stores stock in a yard in The Hythe area of the city which you can see from the train as it passes through - likely source of new Loti spots. Don't think I've seen an Emeya yet.

I keep meaning to take a photo of that. Some have been there a very long time and some don't even have the protective wrap on. I would be very upset if my 'new' Lotus had been sat in the elements for that long.

Quick once over at the local wash 'n scratch & then to the showroom for collection.

Today & a rough looking, red Lotus Excel and a red 3-Series (E30) cabriolet on drives in Latchingdon and Little Totham nr. Maldon.

Back in Chelmsford city centre and a black, new shape Landcruiser – first one of those I’ve seen in the UK and a white Fisker Ocean, which I think is a different one to that one (two?) that’s been spotted in the past.
