Had starfish alloys on it. Was being hooked up behind a van when I saw it, heading London bound. Nice car, though I'm biased.

Yesterday around Brentwood I saw a Phantom Drophead, a GT40 replica and a DB11

This morning another DB11, then an R8 spider, a 488 Pista near Rawreth and also a Honda Insight which was a bit unusual.

[lukeharding]

A Vanquish S Volante in Brentwood this morning (and a Vanquish Volante later on), a nice R8 in Brentwood also. And spotted an XJ-S parked up in South Weald which looked lovely

Green S3 Jag XJ6 on the A12 near Hatfield Peveral, early pm today.

Bumper batch today (Wed). AM: silver XJ-S & a red 2CV passing through Rayleigh Weir. Green TVR Chim nr. Southend airport.

Race prepped Rover SD1 shell in Marlboro colours on the A130 (oddly, second time I've seen that) on a low loader.

Red Ferrari 488 Spyder coming off the A12 @ Witham.

Back up the A12 this pm a Merc AMG GT, yellow 458 Spyder, white Huracan & current shape Dodge Charger (both on low loaders).

Red S2 E-Type Cab on the A120 near the Clacton exit.

Austin Seven in Thorpe-le-Soken & a modded '50's Chevy pick-up passing Gt. Bentley.

Back in Chelmsford a black Lambo Murci Spyder and a modded 911 (993) Cab.

Finally a new shape Suzuki Jimny on Broomfield Road in Chelmsford late morning - first one of those I've seen on the road, looked really cool.

Think that's it

6 am this morning, a wrecked 2016 plate BMW that had gone straight through the mini-roundabout (it's actually quite substantial) on the A1060 (Roxwell Road?). Roof caved in - it looked like a bad one.

Around 10am this morning, heading from Chelmsford through Roxwell, just before 'The Hare' P.H. - 2 x TR5's in convoy. A few minutes later a Rover P4.

Between Stock and Billericay - 4 x Caterhams in convoy.

Around 1pm as I came out of my house (Billericay) - a Flying Fortress went directly overhead!

I also saw an MG TC in the Barleylands area this afternoon

This evening, A12 towards Galleywood junction, passed by a cool race/hill climb type Zakspeed MKII Escort in full Rothmans branding. Superb.

Bit later & parked on a drive in Beggar Hill (nr. Ingatestone) an AM V8 Saloon - one of my favourite cars.

Edited to add: did some digging on the Escort, found an old eBay listing - appears that it's been turbo'd & has full S2000 running gear. Quite something.

Few more for today (Tuesday): light blue Corvette Sting Ray convertible and a red first Gen Mazda RX-7 in Hatfield Heath, late morning; a grey Vauxhall Cresta (I think) a little later on in Leaden Roding & a black Lambo Aventador, back in Chelmsford.

Edited by TCEvo on Tuesday 9th July 13:22

Updates for Wed. Ferrari Testarossa, '67 or '68 Mustang & an Aston DB2 outside a pub in Margaretting nr. Ingatestone this evening.

That a good heads up!
I suspect the A130 is a very happy hunting ground for unmarked Police cars, as it is a tempting road to stretch the right foot.
