The Kent & Essex Spotted Thread!

[TCEvo]

Few on the A12, late morning: Merc 280 SL, Triumph Herald, Mini Cooper & a green TVR Chim.

[Fessia fancier]

Lots today! One gunmetal convertible E Type, one Pagoda Merc in cream, one Testarossa/512 TR, one Corvette from the 60's, one TR4(?) one Rolls Silver Spirit all around Margaretting/Ingatestone/Writtle.

So many cars out over the weekend and I've forgotten lots of them. Did manage to grab a photo of these two though.

Red Ferrari F12 on Broomfield Road in Chelmsford this morning.

Spotted this one at work as a customer came in to drop off some parts

Spotted two Lamborghinis on the way home, but only managed to get a photograph of one.

good pairing with the bike though!

I did wonder if they were together but maybe it was just coincidence. I never knew there were so many lamborghinis in the countryside of Essex that I would see three in one day!

Well that green lambo drove past my house on Sunday (can't imagine that even here there are *that* many of them about?)

I think those look great - the leather looks like a pot of butter.

Last one I recall seeing was rusty as feck & being left to molt away somewhere on the outskirts of Clacton.

The owner appeared to have several Ferrari's, all in various stages of being "worked on" & a Dino that had been completely dismantled.

Weirdly enough a BiTurbo Spider is the only car I’ve ever made money on! Had it for a year then sold it for a grand more than I paid for it.

Can't be many of you in that position!

Another batch this morning: grey '67 Mustang Fastback & a white R8 on a dealers forecourt in Leaden Roding. Early R107 Merc SL in mustard - looked great, near White Roding (also saw R129 and R230 Gen SL's for a triple dunk); red Ferrari Cali & cream '92 Saab 900 Cab in Hatfield Heath, and a blue M100 Elan on the way back to Chelmsford.

It was absolutely stunning, and probably the best spec I've seen.

This morning I saw a 2CV on the A12, and a white S3 E-type on the A12 near the Suffolk border.

Few more in Chelmsford to finish the day: LHD Pug 106 Rallye on Galleywood Road, mid-pm; tasty blue MK1 Escort Mexico/RS and a slammed, air-cool era VW pick-up on New London Road and the chrome-wrapped Merc cab that's been mentioned in the past.

And a wave back!
All of the cars I quoted looked ace, especially the red one, but then I am biased

[lukeharding]

I saw a Huracan Performante with a terrible textured wrap, and a Ferrari 812 behind it. Then later on I saw this

The first Defender road spot - I've still only seen one at the Chelmsford dealership.

Edited to add - do they all come with a Nissan & trailer combo as standard

perhaps its an expensive option.

I also forgot I followed a white 991 GT3 down the A127 yesterday morning. (I also saw a DBX, but not in Essex or Kent so not really valid)

[TCEvo]

Followed a black Lambo Aventador out of Chelmsford mid-pm today.

[TCEvo]

Few on the A12 today this morning: gold TVR Cerbera, black TVR S and a Rolls Royce Cloud II (I think) near Chelmsford; green GT3 RS near Colchester.

PM and the A12 again, purple Lambo Huracan Spyder near Hatfield Peveral and, finally, a new Supra on the road - a white one passing Chelmsford.

6 Fiat 126’s on Chelmer Valley Road in Chelmsford

[TCEvo]

Out on my bike & clocked a MK1 Cortina, a Riley (not sure of the model) & a garden full of various Seat's in Gt Waltham.
