That's such a striking car Luke, so much more interesting than most new stuff.

Thank you. Sadly I've neglected it for a while as it's down on a list of projects and the paint really does need sorting. Might see if it needs anything else and just daily drive it for a little while during the summer.

Also, forgot I saw a black Ferrari 328 in Ingatestone yesterday afternoon.

Not a plug, as I have nothing to do with them, but on Ferrari theme there's a cracking looking yellow 355 Spyder on the forecourt of the dealer on the A414 nr. Chelmsford, noticed it on Fri.

Also a green E28 5 Series at the end of my road in Chelmsford yesterday pm.

Serious number of tasty motors out there today! Black Carrera GT, 2 x GT3's, Lexus LFA, Aston DB11 Volante, VX220, to name a few. A great relief no doubt to the isolation we're finding ourselves in!

Guilty as charged!

I like the GTA. There is a very nice lime green A 310 racing in the HSCC 70's Roadsports series.

Ah! I've finally spotted someone who is actually on here! Your car looked great

There was a yellow 355 Spider in the most recent Historics auction at a very reasonable price which didn't sell. I'd love one.

Likewise, superb cars. Thought seriously about going halves on one with a mate 10+ yrs ago, as ever & w/ benefit of hindsight we should have.

Ventured out for the first time this week & promptly saw a silver 993 Cab at Clocktower Retail Park, Chelmsford.

[lukeharding]

Saw an older silver muscle car on the A127 yesterday, and then a DeLorean out near South Woodham.

Hrimfaxi - Think I may have spotted you on Hayes Lane, headed towards Beckenham about 15 minutes ago in the Scooby?

[TCEvo]

Had to nip out earlier, inevitably a couple of spots: very tidy, bright red Seventh Gen Ford F-150 (5.0) & a white 911 (991) in Chelmsford. Little later on a silver 911 (991) Turbo and a dark blue Panamera (971) in Ingatestone.

Sorry, slight delay there! Yep, good chance that was me

We were talking about Alpine's a few weeks ago.

Sorting through some stuff I came across an old album w/ a pic of an A610 that I appear to have taken at a motorshow (presumably Earls Court when the A610 was new):

Haha that is excellent, and *very* yellow.

Also, saw a DB9 on the A127 today.

Lovely old merc convertible around Penshurst.

A number of other nice cars out and about this lunchtime too

[TCEvo]

Ventured out for shopping, couple of decent spots: bright red '68 Mustang Coupe and an orange/red MGB GT in Chelmsford and what appeared to be a Borgward Isabella Coupe, light blue, in Ingatestone - couldn't get close enough to confirm, but it's a very distinctive car.

THANK YOU!!! There's a (duck-egg green?) one in near Hunter's Chase garden centre and I didn't know what it was, looking at a pic of the above mentioned I'm fairly certain it's one of them.
