The Kent & Essex Spotted Thread!

[TCEvo]

Blue Tuscan leaving Chelmsford Sainsburys this morning.

Spotted my first Ranger Raptor the other day, and also this rather nice Bentley

[Andy 308GTB]

Sunday lunchtime and afternoon, white Lambo with a black soft top, Tesco's Gallows Corner then later on the A12. Looked like a Gallardo but possibly a newer model (I lost interest after the Murcielago)

[TCEvo]

Early pm today: silver Noble at the Dunmow/A120 junction, white 911 (pre-964) Carrera on the Dunmow Rd leaving Chelmsford & a '30's Austin back in Chelmsford on Broomfield Rd.

Also just off patch on the A14, a rough looking S2 XJ-6 on a low-loader.

[TCEvo]

Mid-pm today, pissing rain on the A13 passing Basildon - surprised to see a Ferrari Daytona Spyder on a low-loader. Yellow Merc AMG GT shortly afterwards on the same road.

red S1 Elise on the B186 earlier today

[Mav281]

Silver 16 plate BMW M4 on the A130 heading Southend bound around 15:30. Anyone on here?

[TCEvo]

Off patch but saw my first Rolls Royce Cullinan yesterday evening in Mayfair, parked oppo. Claridges on Davies Street.

Looked OK in white. Black new shape G-Wagon a bit further along looked much better though.

A silver C6 Corvette near Hulbridge earlier

Blue Ford Galaxie on Mersea Road, Colchester, early pm yesterday & this cool, 1990 911 C4 near the front in Frinton a little later on.

[lukeharding]

Spotted a new Vantage near the A127 on Saturday, then a rorty sounding little mini which I followed up to the halfway house. Then later in the day I saw what looked like a modern lotus europa near dartford and a couple of Capris later in the afternoon. (I also saw a Diablo heading into London on the A13 but a bit out of scope for this thread).

Yesterday I saw a few cars but can't remember most of them, though I did see a broken down Bentley Turbo R on the A127.

An extremely poor photo of a Cayman GT4 I saw on the M25 near J28 last night.

I saw a Turbo R (looked like a late, LWB) conked/run out of fuel out on the slip road into Chelmsford's Miami Roundabout Tesco earlier today - wonder if it was the same one.

What colour was it?

Sandy(ish) or maybe a silvery.

Ah the one I saw was white. Obviously not a good time for Turbo Rs!

The one yesterday was the first I've seen for a while - thinking about it, it might be local as there has in the past been one sat outside a house on Broomfield Road in Chelmsford that was a similar colour.

For years there was another one sitting forlornly on the drive of a house on Fryerning Lane in Ingatestone - although it vanished 12-mths ago or so.

Also saw a blue Chimera yesterday - New London Rd. in Chelmsford, mid-pm.

I've got one but it hasn't been on the road in a white, a shame as it drove nicely! Should probably get on that.

Billericay High Street 6pm Sunday evening - Red Ferrari Testarossa (E plate). Great to see.
It had a familiar hot oil smell, not sure whether that means the piston rings are going or they just smell like that, hopefully the latter.

Seen & mentioned this one a few times in the past, but finally managed to get some pics today:

1928 Bentley, parked in Chelmsford city centre. Superb.






Also saw an Isetta bubblecar being towed along the A12, Witham direction, passing Chelmsford earlier in the day.
