Most likely to be a GTA/A610.

Spotted a fair few on the M11 today. Yellow R8, a couple of DB9s, one old and one new Vantage. Also a Phantom near Upminster

Good enough reason to stick a pic up of a GTA that I saw, miles off patch, in a village in France near La Rochelle in Aug 18.

Great colour for it. They're a lot of fun to drive and I love the interior. Got locked in mine once when the battery didn't have enough charge to release the door mechanism and I didn't know about the emergency release....

Considered getting one before I got my TVR, always thought that GTA's were cool (esp. the Le Mans version). Any pics of yours?

Today's spots, and a surprise, couple of '30's Roadsters heading out of Chelmsford this morning on the A1016 - not sure what they were as I'm not good on vintage kit, maybe Alvis' though.

I'll take a couple of photos of mine (or find some) - needs painting really which is a pain in the backside as very few people are willing to take the windows out for fear of breaking them and you can't buy the rubbers anymore. I think they're a cool car too.

Spotted a silver MK1 MX-5 with a smiley on the rear bumper last night, about 7pm, in West Wickham, and a Leon Cupra behind it. Both sounded lovely smile

For good measure here's a few pics that I took at a very wet Le Mans Classic in 2014 (plus a some R5 Turbo's)
